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!
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.
OK so I decided to take out the Shift Register and VPF main board out of my DIY collective and make up a test setup as per pic attached. This way no way there is any possible wiring issues. Just the one button to test. Nothing! no reaction to btn press.......zilch! Double checked wiring and continuity all good!
Yes tried with motor connected as well.......see attached pics.......same result, No response to button press.....ZILCH! I guess the Shift register is faulty or something fundamentally not making sense here......Unless @walmis can suggest a fix I'll have to go and try to get warranty return (new item) or look at going with a Bodnar board....which I really don't want to do as the extensive wiring has been done for the shift register....really disappointing outcome.
If you short the the DATA pin to GND on the 5 pin interface do all the buttons light up? Also you can do that test @TheAmazinGreat referenced to both boards
@walmis….FYI the Shift register is not connecting to any proprietary grip…….its connected to my own custom buttons and switches on my DIY collective …..
Okay, not sure - wiring looks correct, maybe the s/r is indeed faulty. Can you try soldering a wire from GND to any of the S/R Dx pins - it should light up a button constantly for debugging.
Hi! Quick question: since the new Firmware and update, I'm having a mini problem with the Taog Huey on msfs2024. I have a mini lag when I click my TR and it releases the force...I didn't have that before. Now I've recalibrated my FLANKR and readjusted my various effects and parameters, but it still persists. I'd say it does that 99% of the time. And that's just with this helicopter. If anyone has any ideas? Thanks
Hi @walmis......not sure what you mean.....I gather Dx means any of the 32 pins on the SR....right? Is that not the same as wiring a switch between gnd and a pin ....like in the pics I showed above? Pressing the switch shorts gnd to pin (unless I misunderstand your request).......in which case no button in the configurator lights up.
I also tested gnd pin on SR (red probe in diode mode on multimeter) and black probe to each data pin and i get 760mV. (as per following instructions: You can check if the pins are making contact on the grip side by following these steps: 1. set multimeter to diode test ( -⯈⊢ )mode 2. disconnect the JST plug, and with the multimeter red(+) probe touch the GND pin on the JST exposed pad 3. go through all other pins with the black(-) probe - it should read 500-800mV if not, it's not making contact it will read OL)
@walmis measuring from the board, I get very even 5V from the USB and from the backside of the board, there is very even 3.3V. So the power section seems to be working, but usb recognition does not work.
