Much appreciated suggestion, Number481. I’ll try the script tomorrow.

WHmm, do you use a USB hub?
HI have a powered usb hub connected to the pc, but haven’t plugged the rhino into it. Tested it out as well yesterday with the same disconnect.
WDoes this disconnect happen only when using telemFFB ?
HI suspect so, yes. I’ll have a try with only using the config later on. But I suspect it’s only with telemFFB active.
WOne thing that could cause a reconnect normally is if the config profile changes either the "device ident" or the "device ID"
HI’m assuming that would produce a different usb product ID in the vpforce ffb configurator. Vaguely certain it stays the same, but also going to look into that. Any other way to tell if the configs force a new id?
NThis shouldn't be possible.. TelemFFB reads the config file first to check that the PID matches the device its getting ready to send it to.
WYeah, but device name change will def cause a usb reconnection
Ntrue.. we don't check for that. I guess I should also check the Ident against the
dev.product_string in addition to the PID check.
SHello everyone, I have just finished the mechanical construction of my diy collective and am trying to get the electronics up and running. I am experiencing the following problem. In the FFB Configurator I do not get a display of the motor position (see screenshot). I have connected the ID:0 (y) pitch motor to MOT 2. I have checked the power supply to the motor and it is OK. What have I overlooked? Any help is welcome.
Many thanks
Martin

Ndisable the x axis in configurator so it knows its a single motor setup
H@walmis @Number481 I just found something interesting. Some of the profiles I load changes the USB Device Ident from "joystick" to "Rhino" (for my helo build). When the ident changes away, the stick disconnects ...
SThank you but that does not change the problem
NOK. This is what walmis was saying. The Ident and PID must be identical across all the profiles for the same device, otherwise you will see exactly what you are seeing.
I'm extending the logic in TelemFFB that would have prevented you from assigning those profiles in the first place

HIdiot-proof it, you say? 
TIt’s not showing any input power to the controller board. Is your power supply connected and switched on?
NDo you also have a Rhino FFB Joystick connected? If so, (and even if not), you'll want to change the USB Product ID to something other than 2055, and change the name to "Collective", or something other than Joystick.
If you also have a joystick plugged in and they are both 2055, it won't work very well.

SThank you very much for your support. I just reinstalled the configurator and started just from the beginning and now it works - I am so happy. And I will change Device Ident and product ID acording your recomendation not to run into conflicts with my cyclic base.
Thank you and best regards

RAny recommendations for new power supplies? The one that came with the unit is no longer working.
TJust to confirm - it looks like Auto Calibrate followed by Store Settings (and then exporting my config) only saves the calibration info to that config? Importing or loading other configs seems to restore my old calibration from before I put in limiters. Instead of redoing the Auto Calibrate for each of my 4 base configs, can I just copy/paste the related lines from the .vpconf file? It looks like it's just "x_angle_max", "x_angle_min", "y_angle_max", "y_angle_min"? Or is there a simpler method I'm missing?
TJust tried the cut and paste and that seems to work fine.
WHey, can you elaborate how did you come to that conclusion?
RUnit beeps when connectinf to usb along with green internal LED. Configurator showing motor 0 and motor 1 timeout. Checked ac input with multimeter and get 120v, output barrel measures 0v.
WYou can get an replacement, something like

It should be 5.5x2.5mm DC jack, 180W or more

CIs there any way to have balance spring forces configured relative to position on the axis?
Drooping behavior is not the same at the axis extreme as it is in the center. Higher Balance Spring force makes the stick bounce back at the end of the axis, but is required for the stick to hold center at the center of the axis.

Cie I want a less springy force, and rather a more linear/flat one.
CNVM all this, but for anyone else searching I added some really small amount static force and that really nailed the feel of the stick. Now it feels perfectly balanced
CStatic force feels like a much better option for balancing this, surprised it comes in at the end in the manual and so few ppl talking aobut it in the discord when I was searching
TI’I’ve been trying to do something similar w Balance Spring and Static Force, but haven’t got it dialed in yet. Could you post your numbers for those along with any extension length and grip type? Would help to have a reference.
CI was just about to say that I use a VKB Gunfighter grip in metal, no extension and stock Rhino

Wwhy does my rhino return to center after being pushed forward (without power)
it only does that after being pushed forward, if i pull it back or tilt it sideways it stays like that, but if i push it forward, it moves back to middle-ish position. It also happens with power on and no effects applied
happens with and without the grip installed, so it's not caused by it's weight.

CI might not even need the Balance spring at all at this point. But this is very very good for now
OI'm looking for a little help with the Mig-19 in DCS. The stick just flops around - I.e. there's no return force or any sort of "spring" effect on the stick at all
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
TI just did a quick test on the MiG-19 and I get "correct" spring and effects. In TelemFFB I see that it loaded my configurator file for the Jet class, and that it shows the plane matches "MiG-19.*".
I haven't updated to the most recent TelemFFB yet. New to Rhino so nothing else to suggest.

NShould just work AFAIK (I don't own the 19)... other aircraft are working fine?
SI have 4 VPforce motors and two usb drivers which I now use for stick and rudder pedals (3 motors), can I purchase just one more usb driver to run the spare motor for a collective?
OYes - other aircraft are working fine. I can see that "Mig-19" is being matched in the Jet Class so I'm at a bit of a loss as to why

Hi .
Please ,I look your Setting-effect And I would like to test them too.
Could you show me your #Setting please
Thank you so much in advance/Laurent

DSo i've got cracking noises on my roll axis at high spring forces when i move the stick past a certain point to the left and the right. Found this message and removed the stick mount so i get access to the bolt like in this picture.
But how do i tighten it now? If i try to it just rotates the nut together with the screw (which makes sense i guess because there's no holding force on the screw).
Do i have to disassemble the whole thing or how do i do it? Or are there other possible causes of that cracking noise that i could check out first?

TIs it possible you just don’t have the Rhino axes mapped to pitch and roll for the MiG19?
OI think you may have meant this for me maybe?
I managed to figure out a solution. Flying without TelemFFB the stick was fine - felt normal.
As soon as I enabled TelemFFB and it matched the Mig-19.* profile the stick would be limp with no return force
I created a new TelemFFB profile for the Mig-19 by cloning (and tweaking) the F-5E profile and it's ok now
Something wierd in the original profile was causing this behaviour I guess

HHi, has anyone a fix for my problem. Build a collective and an Rudder with the big 86BLF04 . First I had no FFB Effekts but the spring effect was perfect over the whole travel. No I changed the normal settings above, now I get FFB in Flight, but I have a big deadzone without resistance . Even Steps are not counted in that area. The dead zone is not in the middle, but at the position the collective or rudder is at the moment and you start the movement.
HWhen you have no position readings of the motors - have you checked the hardware? Maybe the pulley came loose on the motor axis.
HFor all I can say, wether the application FFB works properly or not. The raw readings in VP config should show the slightest movement.
NAt the risk of asking stupid questions…did you calibrate the axes in configurator?
HI did and steps are also at 2048 in mid position
HPiñon is perfect mounted at the motor. When power is of, cogging is in the full travel. Strange is that both devices has exactly the same behavior
HHmm, maybe check the gain map for issues.... other than that no ideas at the moment
