Hello, maybe a dumb question and I hope this is allowed, I noticed on the VPforce website that components are available separately. Do hobbyists buy for example the FFB Motherboard and then source their own parts ?

Yes, you can buy motor kits to implement your own mechanics. The motherboard by itself is not very useful - it needs to be coupled with 1 or 2 motors (for pedals, joystick respectively)

FYI, the kit is board + motors, you cannot source your own motors

TonyDarkZeroOP•2/8/25, 12:32 PM

@walmis @Fierce_Fire thanks for prompt reply, one last question please, I see there are STL. files available on Printables and GitHub (protomaker964 / Rhino-FFB-Clone-3D_Printed), are these useable or is there another source? Thanks

Most of the DIY Rhino’s you see come from the GitHub (protomaker but also gadroc has one)

NNumber481 New firmware + new configurator. Need both.

Reed•2/8/25, 3:27 PM

I did both and can’t see it

Thanks I have a look, do you know if 57BLF03 motors are off the shelf or custom?

Thorngeist•2/8/25, 7:54 PM

Just got this thing set up with configurator and TelemFFB for the first time. Dumb question: does the stick not behave like a conventional spring base and want to go fully back to center if you stop pushing? I feel like I'm holding it in place in a large dead zone until there are g-forces to push me away.

Kat•2/8/25, 8:34 PM

I apologize if this isn't the right place for this sort of question, but is the Rhino's base heavy enough that I wouldn't need to bolt it in place with a 200mm stick extension? or must I plan to have some way to fasten it to the floor?

KKat I apologize if this isn't the right place for this sort of question, but is the ...

Fr4Ged•2/8/25, 8:39 PM

You'd at least need to weigh it down a lot more else it would tipple especially with the leverage of the extension

Reed•2/8/25, 9:32 PM

Yup I don’t remember seeing that last night I’ll take another look.

Foxx•2/8/25, 10:42 PM

Woo just put my DIY kit request in

Jehly•2/8/25, 11:50 PM

Anyone know if it's possible to downgrade firmware?

Reed•2/9/25, 12:52 AM

I found it. the led. nice

TTonyDarkZero Thanks I have a look, do you know if 57BLF03 motors are off the shelf or custom?

Touch_Of_Legend•2/9/25, 2:23 AM

The motors have a special anti cogging code so you have to use the motors from VPforce with the kit.

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 9:49 AM

Can someone tell me this is correct for the VPforce configuration part, because I'm having a little trouble, and it's to use the Vpforce rhino for dcs?

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 9:49 AM

What is your issue with using it for DCS?

I have two indications in red at the bottom right, is this serious?

You might have to slip your belts off so the centre value is more correct. Read the note about centre value.

TrigaNZ•2/9/25, 11:38 AM

The red number is your centre value.

TTrigaNZ The red number is your centre value.

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 11:39 AM

so I remove the belts and I continue the adjustments, is that it?

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 12:03 PM

Could someone tell me the procedure to follow to re-center my motors with respect to the belts, to have a better centering value?

Number481•2/9/25, 12:41 PM

- remove belt
- manually set min/max to 0/4096, Apply
- enable spring, motor will center
- put belt back on with stick centered on axis
- Run auto calibration, apply, store

Center doesn't need to be exactly 2048... just need to be sure that the range of motion is within 0->4096

Reed•2/9/25, 1:39 PM

Would it be good to design or 3-D print a jig that keeps the stick dead center for this process is probably not needed but could be helpful almost like 2/2 squares like a coupling that slides into the plate or someone has a degree limiter installed.

Reed•2/9/25, 1:39 PM

It would almost be like printing, a 0° limiter so the stick doesn’t move at all if those are in place why you’re doing thiscenter reset
