When this happens can you enter command "reset" and hit enter - after the board restarts - do the motors come back online?
NOK will try
DChecked from the cable and also from board itself. Not shorted
WData pins also not shorted to any adjacent pins ?
DNo, cross checked all the usb pins for shortcuts. As told, the led flashes, the buzzer beeps twice and then led shuts down
DOr are you referring to the rs-485 data pins?
WWindows throws the USB unrecognized popup ?
DYup
DChecked also the board under microscope, no shorts, a lot of flux residue, a litlle excess solder paste(pearls of solder on some capacitors) no visible burnt components
DNow i need to go walk the dog, but I can continue to solve this if you have ideas. I have access to hot air blower, soldering iron, oscilloscope. You name it. I work as electrical engineer so…
WWell, if you can measure the D+ and D- continuity coming from the cable end (pictured a few messages above) to the MCU pins, that could be helpful:
Marked the pins here

WNOk, It happened again, I typed "reset" and enter. Here are what come next: usb connect, and the motors x and y not runnig, after power button off and on , the motors whent running
Nand here is telem log
WHmm, according to the log both motors show active at 13:41:52
NActually they were without cogging effect but at the bottom right of vp configuration there were motor x and y offline, after switching of and on the power button they went alive
DD- does not connect to usb, so there is a break somewhere. Can you check from layout the trace and if it is fixable? I could try to make a wire connection to connector
DOr just replace the board, whichever is more suitable to you
DD+ goes through to the mcu
WYou mean on the board itself?
DOn the board itself. Measured between the 4pin connector and mcu pin
WHere's the layout, you can check it:

DThat first resistor seems faulty? It sometimes reads 40 ohms, but when measuring to the chip pad, it doesn’t read anything? Whats the nominal value of it? I have full series on 0603 resitors here at home so i could try to replace that
Wit's 22ohms
Hmm, Maybe bad solder, I think you can try to remelt both pads
Hmm, Maybe bad solder, I think you can try to remelt both pads
WAnyhow it can be shorted, it's not critical
DI will change it, not a biggie. Yeah it should be just fine if it is simple short. After all, it almost boots up. But i wonder why the led doesn’t stay on after the beep?
DQuite easy with these.
WThe LED indicates USB status, therefore it shuts off when no USB link is present
WDid it happen with previous firmware?
NYes but not so often.
NCould it be any problem with the board?
Hcan anyone point out to me where one could find some mounting options and some aftermarket parts for the rhino? Ive got a next level racing flight seat pro and looking for a way to mount this to my pit without having to fabricate much
Hor is it more feasible to just post this thing onto the floor?
Dwhen touched the resistor with soldering iron, the resistor physically broke in 2 pieces. Cleaned the pads, soldered new 0402 22R resistor, cleaned the excess flux, and voilá! It's Alive!!!
DThanks for the support!
Sdefect boards seem pretty rare but it's good someone like you got it 
DYou can check on the vpforce site otherwise you have some mounting option by Monstertech (or similar)
DOn the floor it's ok but it "must" be fixed (wooden board or similar)
DSomehow I don’t always feel lucky in these cases, but the end result is that matters. Now I just have to put it all together (again)
WCan 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?

TPot 1 is set to change spring gain and is at 0% so you will feel no spring.
TIncrease pot 1 or disable it in the drop down.
RI keep my spring gain at 100% all the time and don’t adjust it. I’ve got my pot set the spring has anyone changed the pot to damper and use it to fine-tune that effect if they keep their spring 100% all the time like I do
TI don’t touch the pots too much, but I do keep one on the periodic effects so if I have something like a stuck down landing gear I can turn the effect down if it gets annoying.
Wit's good I managed to correct the centering values, tell me if this is good now for the first configuration step

RHi, we are using Rhino Input Loopback (1.0.17b13) to read an axis from a BU0836 axis (for hardware trim). When the application starts, it doesn't seem to read the input Axis until the dropdown is used to select another axis, then reselect axis 0 again. Then the value is then correctly read. Any ideas? Thanks!
TInertia might be a little high but depends on if it is causing instability. If you have any issue you could try turning that down. To feel effects out of sim, need to turn on effects in the effects tab, you may have done that already but not sure since you hadn’t sent a pic of that tab.
WI only have this for now
