I think Walmis may be able to reconfigure one of them to be the X axis.

ono•1/3/25, 5:19 PM

Ok. How can he do that? How can I contact him?

To save time until he can help you, do you have a power supply you can use to test the motor and connect it to a PC using the USB cable? That will be needed if he is to flash the motor firmware.

ono•1/3/25, 5:35 PM

Ok, thank you very much first, but I have to get one first. Then I'll get back to you

Do we have the ability to edit the grip profiles? The HATs on my FC Technologies NS-37 don't work with any of the existing grip profiles.

Stal2k•1/3/25, 6:08 PM

Hi all, I have a question / sanity check here. I've noticed through some searches and firmware changelogs there have been issues with passthroughs/all joystick buttons seemingly pressed? I've updated to the latest firmware (b17).

Issue When I try to use the passthrough feature for the Warthog, now all buttons are shown as pressed in windows

Context: I've not used my gear realistically in like ~3 months as I've been assembling a motion rig. That being said, there is any number of things that could have happened to the device as it was moved/mounted on said rig. I have an early Rhino (SN37) if that matters, I know initially Walmis found an issue with mine he later fixed.

My setup is currently running a cable from a special port on the Rhino to my TM base with the warthog grip on the Rhino. The purpose, although not relevant is to keep using TARGET with the Rhino. I thought maybe my TM base finally gave up the ghost and/or my cable. So I'm using a brand new TM base, and a freshly re-soldered cable (I actually redid the cable twice to make sure It wasn't something wonky).

Things I've tried

Updating firmware / Buying new TM base / Resoldering link cable (both sides)
Continuity check with multimeter for my link cable (nothing on the Rhino yet)
Checked checked and re-checked I aligned the right wires/pins for the cable
Tried different "Grip Type" options in the VPForce software just in case (Disabled/Generic) the Rhino will work in 'native' mode
Toggling the .5v option in the software to see if it had an impact

What I'm not great at is the multimeter / electrical side of this, i.e. previously Walmis walked me through testing voltages when I initially got my device. I was basically a trained monkey just doing what I was told and reading him numbers. I do know how to do the continuity check. The unit wasn't dropped or banged around or anything just idle for a few months. Thanks!

Reed•1/3/25, 11:26 PM

what settings were used? I want to add a bit of a steep angle to my spring gain to make hold the center easier, as the adaptive centering isnt strong enough for my needs and extension length. I still get osciallation, they are better after newest update, but still present.

Try dropping Spring dependent damping. I see you have it kinda high at 80%.

Hi, got the shift register board.....looking for sockets to solder on them......is it the JST-PH 2.0 size used for these? Found some PH 2.0 plugs and sockets on Amazon and want to check before purchase. Ta

Also damping slider very high. Will post my settings shortly

@walmis what are the default settings for Max motor current and Max PSU current with your rhino? I feel like I purchased mine about two years ago.

neok•1/4/25, 9:44 PM

hey there, is there a way to rotate x and y axis 20 deg to the left?

neok•1/4/25, 9:45 PM

in the software somewhere?

neok•1/4/25, 9:45 PM

so that pitch up is pulling back and slightly right?

where are you all buying custom length cable for connecting rhino to virpil/tm grips? I need a solution, vs diy if available.

This isn't a bad option if you don't want to fool with DIY. The price is cheap enough that you can pretend you aren't also getting an aluminum tube

where is the best place to download sofeware for the rhino

smitty•1/5/25, 8:05 PM

if "best" means "only", then the best sites are:

C4N4DN•1/5/25, 9:08 PM

Hey guys. I have a early rhino and im starting to get a bit of play only in the pitch axis. Its about 1/8inch only in one axis about the neutral position. Is there any way i can tighten this back up?

Chris•1/5/25, 10:50 PM

It looks like your printed mount for the aluminum is broken. There is a split which opens when you press the stick forward. Look closely to the corner nearest to the camera and you will see it.

C4N4DN•1/5/25, 11:16 PM

I think thats just a reflection of the light. The piece in person is solid as a rock

f14billyOP•1/6/25, 12:00 AM

Try grabbing the printed part and see if the play is in the metal shaft. If so try tightening the 4 screws that keep it in place and see if that helps. Also the screws that keep the big pulley in place may be loose.

usually blow, you want positive pressure in the case…much as with PC cooling design….opinions can vary however

C4N4DN•1/6/25, 12:40 AM

The movement is between the printed shaft and the top pitch gimbal.

C4N4DN•1/6/25, 12:41 AM

When you move it fwd and back the pitch wheel doesnt move at all.

elijahautistic•1/6/25, 12:51 AM

Hello ! I am new on the project and i am doing my research to make a rhino on my own, but i can't really find anyone talking about making the base with 86BLF04 motors instead of the 57BLF03.
Is there any reason why ?

f14billyOP•1/6/25, 2:01 AM

I'd try tightening the screws in the middle of the big pulley. I think there's 5 or 6 of them and see if that makes a difference

f14billyOP•1/6/25, 2:02 AM

The 86 motors would require a stronger gimbal and bigger housing. They have more torque and handle overheating better but the build will be significantly more expensive.

I think Walmis may be able to reconfigure one of them to be the X axis.
