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

Thank you!

There also is a metal variant of that adapter which I would get if I would take the thing off a lot

BrasOP•2/6/25, 9:57 AM

I did ordered that one with my Rhino, seems like it came mounted in the Rhino already

Mike T•2/6/25, 10:27 AM

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?

TheAmazinGreat•2/6/25, 11:52 AM

Yes, USB connection should be all you need to see button presses.

TeufelHunden•2/6/25, 2:30 PM

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?

TeufelHunden•2/6/25, 2:31 PM

it is suppose to be around 2048 right how do I fix?

TTeufelHunden it is suppose to be around 2048 right how do I fix?

TheAmazinGreat•2/6/25, 2:39 PM

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.

TheAmazinGreat•2/6/25, 2:40 PM

And then recalibrate

TTheAmazinGreat And then recalibrate

TeufelHunden•2/6/25, 2:47 PM

thank you so much that worked!

TTheAmazinGreat Yes, USB connection should be all you need to see button presses.

Mike T•2/6/25, 9:32 PM

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?

Mike T•2/7/25, 3:40 AM

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 3:51 AM

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

but in reality it’s

yellow/yellow/yellow/yellow to separate GND

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 3:52 AM

If that makes sense

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 3:58 AM

sorry for the crude drawing

Mike T•2/7/25, 4:07 AM

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???

Mike T•2/7/25, 4:10 AM

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 4:14 AM

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?

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 4:16 AM

It looks like DI is connected for some reason.

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 4:16 AM

Maybe I see a GND wire hiding back there.

Mike T•2/7/25, 4:32 AM

Here is a better pic……D1 is wired but goes nowhere as not used…..D0 goes to D1 on VPF board. I’ll recheck connection between boards again.

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 11:47 AM

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?

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 11:47 AM

A pic of the configurator debug tab with the debug grip option selected may help troubleshoot also.

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?

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!

I just spent the last hour on DCS messing with SRS binds on a hat switch of my stick with no power to the base other than USB connection.

TheAmazinGreat•2/7/25, 9:17 PM

Buttons should work with USB only.

FalconMechanics•2/7/25, 9:35 PM

Too be fair it didn’t make sense too me why I would need to power it up.

FalconMechanics•2/7/25, 9:35 PM

Maybe something to do with configuring when switching from joystick source? I came from loopback to the shift register

Dimexi•2/7/25, 11:58 PM

Hi, I bought a while ago the ffb kit with usb board and couple of motors. Currently (first try) the board beeps, the led flashes once and windows states that usb board not recognized. This was kept in the ESD bag until assembled to base.

Dimexi•2/7/25, 11:59 PM

board is rhino ffb board Rev 1.6
