You don't have to change anything more physically - your calibration is within 0-4096 bounds, which is good. Do the auto calibration routine and save the settings.
Yes, correct. You should be able to just press "auto calibrate", read what it says in the box and press OK, move the stick forward, back, left, right, and press the auto calibration button again to exit calibration mode. Then press "store settings" for it to take effect. Btw, personally I don't see the need of the centering tool but maybe it's me not thinking it through (as long as you are within the one rotation of the motors, at least when connecting/powering on). I didn't use the centering tool when I assembled mine but maybe I'm lucky
your stick is sagging from center, most likely due to grip weight and extension offset (can't see what you've got attached in your photos). Also, your pot is assigned to master gain and set to %50, so you're only getting %50 of whatever spring effect strength you have started in the effects tab.
Spring is weakest at center. You should use the Balancing Procedure to counteract the sag caused by the grip. Once you have that satisfactorily configured, I recommend using the "adaptive recentering" feature in the effects tab spring settings.
Hi guys, does anyone has the 3D print model of the threaded insert to attach the grip when I take it out from the Rhino? I need to be taking it out frequently as I have a flight/racing sim setup and would like to have a nice place to keep the grip near the rig once I take it out instead of the floor
Quick support question regards the VPF shift register…….connected to VPF control board as per schematic provided on this Discord…..and checked with DIMM that connections are sound and correct. Will it work, that is button presses register in the VP Configurator app if board is only powered by USB……..motors not yet connected with power…….i thought the board itself is powered by USB 5v and so therefore the shift register should work…..right?
my belt got loose so I tighten it up but I was a dummy and didn't hit the E stop before taking belt off so now I had to re calibrate every single profile I had... I see this number is now RED is this a bad thing?
Red number means you have a calibration value outside 0..4096. If you turned on your base with the stick in the negative X region it would not find proper center and would lock itself to one side. To fix it you would need to take the belt off, manually set the calibration range 0..4096, then put the belt back on with your stick centered.
Thanks…..I guess I need to check the wiring again……none show up, indicating a ground issue but I’ve checked continuity and it’s fine……mmmmm I wired it up as per pic attached. Selected VP shift register as the grip selection……switches to ground on Shift register and to each of the 32 input positions, but nothing …….is there something else I have to enable?
Button wiring is the issue. Each of those 4 pins are buttons. They connect to the ground from the VPF main board. So in your pic you have yellow/yellow/yellow/black
Actually as per your pic is how it’s wired…….the pic I posted was from a pic I downloaded from somewhere else on this discord to help with how the connection between shift register and VP control board. My switches are all connected to ground in series and the other side of switches to respective input on Shift register sequentially. So if there is no other requirement to do, it must be either board faulty or I’ve connected something wrong???
On the 6 pin input connector I see 5 wires which is correct but it looks like they are in positions 1-5? Hard to tell so maybe not but are you sure that is all correct? Looks like it’s missing GND but maybe that’s on the screw terminal?
Ok I see it. If the buttons are as the drawing I posted and board to board is correct it has to be an issue with the grounding or the board to board connections. This might be a dumb question but is the GND used for buttons connected to the same GND used for the board to board connection?
My natural damping compensation value is set at 20%, that way I feal stick moving without any resistance. Is it normal such high value providing that the default is 4%( I am using 86bl04 engines)?
hello everyone, can you confirm to me that there will be no risks, because I am about to connect my rhino VPforce for the first time, with my meanwell 360w 16A only to power my rhino for the moment? Commentaires
@walmis I've just ordered another pair of motors from yourselves, and a spare FFB circuit board, is it possible that you could add to the invoice and include a spare USB connector cable and PCB plug?
I have a 350w 14A meanwell with the rhino hooked up at 8amps and the rhino MFG at 4 amps, my understanding is that the device will only draw the amps it needs.
Hey Mike, I'm building a custom H135 cyclic right now and encountered the same issues. checked everything twice redid all my connection; I was able to measure 5v coming all the way through my buttons. What I didn't know; you need to apply 24v to the rhino too to have the button presses registered. I hope that fixes your problem as well!
