Help, just building the MFG pedals Rhino conversion and I cannot get the motor to work, I hope its something simple, I have checked the wiring, tried a different PSU. The software shows power to the board. Any ideas ?
I had a similar issue and found out that the power supply, when motors are under heavy load and demand more current, sometimes can't handle the current spikes and lower the output. I fixed this by adding a charge tank (basically a capacitor with low ESR) next to each motor.
This shouldn't happen with the stock Rhino. I'll release a new firmware update soon with more diagnostic output and stability improvements, should help debug such issues.
On latest firmware. Yesterday everything fine, today the configuation software picks up all button and hat presses, but windows and MSFS doesn't register any button presses. TM F/A-18 grip, first time i had any issues
If the configurator shows button presses, try loading the default Rhino configuration or checking the button mapping tab, maybe the button mapping is corrupted somehow.
Just an update on this. I took both the Rhino VKB adapter and my VKB made stick extension apart, and directly soldered the two sets of wires together. Works perfectly now. It just means I have a combined stick extension + Rhino adapter, which works fine for me. Thanks for the suggestion
Sanity check: I'm finding it super convenient when I hop in and out of my rig to just pop that red emergency stop so the stick tilts forward and out of the way (as opposed to having to step over it while upright). Should I avoid pressing the emergency stop if not needed, or is this a perfectly safe habit to form that won't cause longevity problems?
Also I use the dial because sometimes DCS loses track of the device when the emergency button is used, and then starts losing track of what devices are plugged in when itβs turned back on
these switches (especially if you have multiple) acts as immersion factor tho, when i get into rig, i do control check as if it was real plane, then i turn on power supply and then Rhino, and do another control check as it was a real plane, kinda fun )
Good to know, thanks! And yeah I've definitely enjoyed a few beautiful moments when I had essentially bound every last button required to do a full F18 cold start, so I could go through the whole sequence without ever clicking something with a mouse.
But that does get old when you have to wait 8mins for INS alignment and you kinda just want to fly
Hey ! I was wondering if some of you have a very little play on the roll axis (or pitch, depends on how the gimball is mounted i guess)
I canβt really describe it nor show it on camera, but letβs say for example. You roll left and suddenly go right, i feel a very little play. My guess is that this is just the design of the gimball that creates that
I would tend to agree. One direction will be direct acting and the other direction transfers through the core joint. I think the core joint is where the play comes in. If not play, it is at least extra flex. I also assume this is why you can see different values for force comp on x and y axis in the default configuration.
