FI'm planning to buy a forcefeedback stick in the future, but not right now.
What I am trying to do now is build this because I want a quick release rail system which this offers (if something is better i'm all ears) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWXf6EsfZ4c
Which requires this - https://virpil-controls.eu/vpc-desk-mount-angled-adapter-mt-50-throttle.html
Only problem is that I use a VKB Gunfighter and a modded Thrustmaster TWCS
I figured asking here would be real good as I'd find some people that are all about that DIY.
To me the options seem to be to:

- Make the VKB Gunfighter and modded Thrustmaster TWCS fit the virpil desk mount adapter somehow
2.Change the adapter used, but that would require changing the print files for screw points? Something I don't know how to do.

H@walmis I had a problem with the Firmware/VP config yesterday. After DCS crashed, the spring was stuck in "controlled by application". No matter what I did, including restarting config or TelemFFB, rebooting the system - even power cycling the Rhino. Only thing that eventually helped was to re-import a profile. Probably was a very unlikely one-off. Just so you know, in case it happens again....
WProbably a stuck effect. Power cycling (the red button) will not clear it. To reset You can either type "reset" into the command prompt in the configurator, unplug-replug USB, or issue reset all ffb effects in telemFFB menu.
WAlthough restarting DCS should clear it too
HThanks, will try those if it happens again.
II assumed so.
TIs the new TelemFFB 20241103 now considered to be non-beta? A little confused since the firmware it requires (1.0.17b3) seems to still be in beta, and same for Configurator, which is at 1.0.17b2. Wondering if there will be an announcement when all 3 are at matching release versions? Or when we have release candidates?
(After about three months of using my rhino with a thrustmaster warthog grip the buttons stopped working mid flight , I was trimming f18 and it just went more and more nose down trim.
In the rhino config app it showed button 14 permanently on which I think was nose down trim.
when I unplugged the grip and replugged back in no buttons show up on app.
Debug shows all FFFFFFFF which I think is gripping not detected,
I had swapped my 3d printed grip adaptor for a metal one about a week before so I removed it and saw that the green wire (clock) was cut but still continuity to the Wallis board.
But to rule this out I rewired the din plug and check continuity against the attatched drawing .
Still no buttons
I replaced grip with a new thrustmaster f-18 grip but still no joy
Have I brick the walmis board and can someone confirm that the drawing attatched is the correct wiring.

(This is looking at top of the din plug
Shey mates. I can see that i have friction enable from telemffb but i do not see springs on telemffb. i am blind? cause VPforce software says Springs controlled by application
WSpring is controlled by DCS
WYou can do a connectivity check with the grip using a multimeter:

CIf I build one it’s going to have a separate controller for the joystick vs the axes, can I map a separate controllers button for the trim release button?
(@walmis I have done a connectivity check and it confirms to the drawing I listed above checked it three times to confirm
WDid you do the diode test? It's a bit different as it shows whether the signal reaches the grip electronics. That will confirm whether there's no issues in the connector itself.
(no was just buzing through thre cable
(how do i do a diode check is it each pin to gnd
CIf I build one it’s going to have a separate controller for the joystick vs the axes, as im using a custom joystick running on freejoy. can I map a separate controllers button for the trim release button abd trim hat? Or will it only work with controllers running on the VPforce board
TThe built in loopback app should be able to handle this, up to two axes at least since the latest update allows you to map to pot1/pot2.
SStarted using the Rhino two days ago. I have had several instances of both motors suddenly going offline. Today I had pitch axis motor going offline during DCS dogfight. Configurator showed unstable condition on pitch axis motor. I'm guessing this is going to happen again. Any suggestions as to how to identify the problem?
TPost a screenshot of your configurator effects and settings tabs

FIn the settings tab you also want to expand the setting on the right side like power settings filters etc before taking the screenshot

VI am getting this resting oscillation/shaking also with the new firmware, mine seems related to friction.
TThose look like the rhino defaults so it should be pretty stable. Do you have it plugged into a USB hub or directly to your PC?
TI also played with the vel and acc estimator gains. Increasing them slowly helped further stabilize.
HYour spring gain is too high. You must make sure, that the maximum amps at max deflection stay below your limit. Otherwise you can easily overpower the motor and tilt it.
W@Sudeebare One could lower the Damper force low pass filter, to 15-20Hz if instability develops.
(Is the jst conector on the walmis board jst xh or jst ph
(Oh and does anyone have a source for replacement warthog grip male din plug as I have managed to snap off one of the pins last night
TFor the grip it is XH
TDin plugs probably best source is gonna be something like digikey or aliexpress.
(Thanks and yes finding the din plug id proving to be difficult I have a f18 grip I can use until I fix the warthog one, once I rewire the complete grip loom not splice as I have been trying to do as I didn’t have the correct jst crimp stuff
TI’ve never used the 57 series, but the settings they have shown is the default Rhino profile and it is a production Rhino. I would think the default profile would be built so as not to over current the motors. The motor current limit is also set correctly for 30A max. Shouldn’t that limit it as needed by lowering output?
CBefore I place my order, how many inputs does the VPForce shift register board have? I can count 32 but that’s assuming they’re all inputs and they share a common ground? And then is it’s 5 pins to the board and bobs your uncle?
CAlso looking at the image it looks like hc165 shifts, so my own grip uses those, is there logic on the VPForce control board yo handle inputs from any hc165s? Or is the VPForce board proprietary in any way
HThe powers involved are determined by various factors. First and foremost by the length of the lever (that you choose). A grown man will always be ultimatively stronger than the motors.
HThat's why you need to adjust the settings properly.
WYeah it's HC165s, it's compatible with TM, so has the inverter on the LATCH/CS signal, so it's active LOW
HIt's even more important for the pedals, since legs are much stronger and have less fine control/feeling. When you kick/push/pull too fast, the overcurrent protection will disable the motor(s) entirely. When you pull slowly, you will just reach a plateau where the max force of the motor will stay constant, which feels strange.
CSo could I build my own stick on my own hc165s and it would work?
COr is the shift board doing some work before it gets to the controller
HIt is best to have the max spring force set in a way, that it will just be reached at max deflection (keep in mind, that friction et al. will also eat some current)
WIt's not entirely true, while the current is limited, the STABILITY fault usually occurs due to instability in the damper control loop, due to self oscillation/resonances
HI think we are talking about two different problems/faults here.
HSorry for the confusion.
HPerhaps it is best to settly one problem after another.....
