Just finished my build.
Unfortunately i get the following:
"[17:24:06.018] * USB Connected
[17:24:06.029] Motor 0 timeout
[17:24:06.029] Motor 1 timeout"

both motors appear offline.

They have power. I get see them both having green flashing led.

Sslowmover i like that your stick returns smoothly at center. how did you achieve that?

f14billy•10/18/24, 2:40 PM

My guess is that applying some damper helps.

f14billy•10/18/24, 2:41 PM

Besides their power cables did you connect their data cables too?

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 2:41 PM

yep

f14billy•10/18/24, 2:42 PM

A picture of the board may help. I'd try disconnecting and reconnecting the data cables in both the motors and board just to make sure they are connected correctly.

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 2:43 PM

Ty. Give me some time to unscrew the front cover

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 2:52 PM

Did that and one of them worked. But the other one is still offline. seems that the connectors are a bit loose

Ff14billy Besides their power cables did you connect their data cables too?

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 2:59 PM

Well, it seems that the jst pins inside the connector had moved slightly outwards. i fixed the connector and now it works ok.

Thank you so much ,

I have another issue, trying to do the first calibration.
I'm with protomaker's design.

In the pdf it says:
(with the stick centered - i'm using the centering tool)

Click "Auto calibrate"
In the axes setup set Xmin,Ymin=0 Xmax,Ymax=4096
Click again "Auto calibrate" and then "Apply settings" and "Store settings"

Raw X,Y values should be very close to 2000

------
My process is as follows:

X,Y values are all 0

I push "Auto Calibrate"

X,Y values become the following:
Xmin=14, Xmax=14
Ymin=1171, Ymax=1172
raw_x=14, raw_y=1172

I set X,Y values as:
Xmin=0, Xmax=4096
Ymin=0, Ymax=4096

I push "Auto Calibrate" again
Apply Settings and Store Settings

raw_x and raw_y on the left panel haven't changed.
raw_x = 14 and raw_y=1172
and the joystick indicator has the dot somewhere in the top left range

f14billy•10/18/24, 3:41 PM

After auto calibrate I click store settings not apply settings.

f14billy•10/18/24, 3:42 PM

And remember to move the stick to the max positions after hitting auto calibrate.

f14billy•10/18/24, 3:43 PM

And then once you move the stick to the max positions you hit store settings.

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 3:48 PM

so i remove the centering tool during the process? in the pdf it says to do that afterwards

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 3:48 PM

I'll try again like you say

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 3:54 PM

Still doesn't work.

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 3:54 PM

If I alter the X,Y min max values to 0 and 4096
raw_x and raw_y values become like i said

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 3:56 PM

If i don't and just push Auto calibrate once, move the stick to max positions and click again, then joystick indicator is correct but still raw_x and raw_y are not 2048 at the center and values are way off the 0-4096 range

f14billy•10/18/24, 4:20 PM

You don't need the centering tool. Just remove it. Select auto calibrate. Move the stick to its maximum making circles or squares and then select store settings.

f14billy•10/18/24, 4:21 PM

Don't worry about the values. Just make sure it works.

f14billy•10/18/24, 4:22 PM

I never had to enter any values manually. I just did a couple of auto calibrations and then it was ready.

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 4:22 PM

what about this part of the manual?

f14billy•10/18/24, 4:25 PM

I honestly didn't do any of that. Just a regular auto calibration a couple of times and it worked.

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 4:29 PM

Thank you. I'll do it that way for the time being, but if anyone knows please give me an update.

@Subsonic (Protomaker) Is it something that should be updated in the manual? I'm following the instructions line by line.

f14billy•10/18/24, 4:30 PM

Once it is calibrated you don't need to do it again. It's set and ready to go

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 4:31 PM

I'm still curious though

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:33 PM

Hi @Dimitris

I’m a noob as you with my #Rhino
I Read too the Manual PDF.
For have Axes:

Click in :

-Vpforce FFB Configurator / Settings / import /Rhino-defaults.vpconf and you click = open here

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:33 PM

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:34 PM

And you going in #Settings/ click : Apply setting.

In Vpconfigurator /Settings /Damper Force LFP/ change 8Hz to 6hz .

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:34 PM

And it’s all

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:34 PM

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:34 PM

DDimitris I'm still curious though 😛

f14billy•10/18/24, 4:34 PM

My guess is that those steps are to reset everything before a calibration to avoid any issues.

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:35 PM

Yes .
And he read my explain

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:35 PM

I a noob as @Dimitris with my #Rhino

lolof1•10/18/24, 4:36 PM

And now this afternoon my Rhino work very well

Subsonic•10/18/24, 7:29 PM

Nothing to change. That is best practice, relayed to me by the man himself.

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 7:30 PM

Yes, but it didn't work for me. I followed your steps line by line

DimitrisOP•10/18/24, 7:31 PM

raw x,y values never landed at 2000 range

Ff14billy Which grip are you using and which grip is selected in the configuration?

VPS_Choki•10/18/24, 7:39 PM

using a warbrd and i chose warbrd

VVPS_Choki using a warbrd and i chose warbrd

Number481•10/18/24, 8:16 PM

Z is usually the twist axis. If you don't have the version of the grip with the twist axis, you don't need to worry about it

VPS_Choki•10/18/24, 8:17 PM

is there a way to disable this cause it always saying im using the Z axis

VVPS_Choki is there a way to disable this cause it always saying im using the Z axis

f14billy•10/18/24, 8:41 PM

Have you tried doing a calibration in windows? Since there will be no input in the z axis maybe it will center it for you.

Press Windows Key + R, type joy.cpl and press enter.

Select the controller on the list > Properties > Settings tab > Calibrate

VPS_Choki•10/18/24, 8:41 PM

i mean i have the twist axis but i dont want to use it sorry i should have said that

f14billy•10/18/24, 8:42 PM

Calibrate the twist axis in windows. That should center it.

VPS_Choki•10/18/24, 8:42 PM

thank u will try

DDimitris raw x,y values never landed at 2000 range

Subsonic•10/18/24, 9:54 PM

Worked for me every time
My current raw values are 1870 and 2390

SSubsonic Worked for me every time My current raw values are 1870 and 2390

DimitrisOP•10/19/24, 6:32 AM

That's strange.

My process was:

Centering tool
Motors on
click on Auto calibrate
Set X,Ymin=0 X,Ymax=4096
click on Auto calibrate, then Apply Settings, then Store Settings
Remove centering tool

raw_x, raw_y never on target.
joystick not calibrated, since I never moved the stick to max positions.

If I follow the instructions on the app:
(without centering tool)

click on Auto calibrate
move stick to max positions
click on Auto calibrate
Store settings

then raw_x, raw_y still not on 2000 target while centered
but at least my stick is calibrated

Just finished my build. Unfortunately i get the following: "[17:24:06.018] * USB Connected [17:24:06
