Actually 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

Dimexi•2/8/25, 12:50 PM

D- 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

Dimexi•2/8/25, 12:56 PM

Or just replace the board, whichever is more suitable to you

Dimexi•2/8/25, 1:00 PM

D+ goes through to the mcu

walmis•2/8/25, 1:02 PM

You mean on the board itself?

Wwalmis You mean on the board itself?

Dimexi•2/8/25, 1:02 PM

On the board itself. Measured between the 4pin connector and mcu pin

walmis•2/8/25, 1:04 PM

Here's the layout, you can check it:

That 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

walmis•2/8/25, 1:21 PM

it's 22ohms
Hmm, Maybe bad solder, I think you can try to remelt both pads

walmis•2/8/25, 1:22 PM

Anyhow it can be shorted, it's not critical

Dimexi•2/8/25, 1:25 PM

I 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?

Dimexi•2/8/25, 1:29 PM

Quite easy with these.

walmis•2/8/25, 1:52 PM

The LED indicates USB status, therefore it shuts off when no USB link is present

walmis•2/8/25, 1:55 PM

Did it happen with previous firmware?

NIKO_BGOP•2/8/25, 2:12 PM

Yes but not so often.

NIKO_BGOP•2/8/25, 2:13 PM

Could it be any problem with the board?

Hammer 1-1•2/8/25, 6:21 PM

can 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

Hammer 1-1•2/8/25, 6:29 PM

or is it more feasible to just post this thing onto the floor?

Wwalmis Anyhow it can be shorted, it's not critical

Dimexi•2/8/25, 10:14 PM

when 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!!!

Dimexi•2/8/25, 10:14 PM

Thanks for the support!

Dracks•2/8/25, 10:37 PM

You can check on the vpforce site otherwise you have some mounting option by Monstertech (or similar)

Dracks•2/8/25, 10:38 PM

On the floor it's ok but it "must" be fixed (wooden board or similar)

Ssmitty defect boards seem pretty rare but it's good someone like you got it 😂

Dimexi•2/8/25, 11:46 PM

Somehow 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)

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 10:01 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?

TheAmazinGreat•2/9/25, 12:57 PM

Pot 1 is set to change spring gain and is at 0% so you will feel no spring.

TheAmazinGreat•2/9/25, 12:58 PM

Increase pot 1 or disable it in the drop down.

Reed•2/9/25, 1:40 PM

I 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

TheAmazinGreat•2/9/25, 1:52 PM

I 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.

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 3:26 PM

it's good I managed to correct the centering values, tell me if this is good now for the first configuration step

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 3:27 PM

Rapid2214•2/9/25, 3:27 PM

Hi, 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!

TheAmazinGreat•2/9/25, 3:29 PM

Inertia 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.

Again, at 18:51:420- motor x and y Communication Timeout. After that I switched off and on the power and motors came active , at the same time telem log showed the effects are OK. In the game(dcs) I had no control of the joystik.

NIKO_BGOP•2/9/25, 4:41 PM

Padinn•2/9/25, 4:52 PM

So I am using someone elses profile as a baseline and have adjusted it for my VKB stick. I notice the loopback tool keeps resettings its input device to be the rhino as the HAT source when I restart it. I think this may explain the issue I am having with trim. How can I make that button/hat source in loopback a permanent change?

Padinn•2/9/25, 4:53 PM

I can see Loopback tool is referencing a "default" profile but I am not sure where that is or how to change it

Padinn•2/9/25, 5:00 PM

nm just saw this is fixed in latest firmware

Wwolfman59#6013 I only have this for now

TheAmazinGreat•2/9/25, 5:05 PM

Looks good.

Padinn•2/9/25, 5:11 PM

@walmis Actually I am still having this issue. When I updated to the latest configurator software its still not saving my loopback device choice

TTheAmazinGreat Looks good.

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 5:22 PM

TheAmazinGreat•2/9/25, 5:42 PM

It is not required but adds some effects.

TTheAmazinGreat It is not required but adds some effects.

wolfman59#6013•2/9/25, 5:44 PM

@TheAmazinGreat Okay, I thought it was mandatory, so I just have to launch DCS and make the assignment settings in the DCS parameters and that's it?

TheAmazinGreat•2/9/25, 5:57 PM

Yes, be sure to check out the manual for info on TelemFFB installation.

Hey I have a problem. On FW update page https://vpforcecontrols.com/usb/rhino my chrome is seeing rino (controls are working and stuff and I can pick joystick in popup window) but when I click Update Firmware seems joystick is switching to BL mode (controler board start to flash) and no compatible device is shown in popup window. Seems my browser is not able to detect joystick while it is in BT mode. I do not remember: is it required to click something on controler board in order to flash FW? Shoult it be automatic process? Any clue why Chrome does not see joystick while swithing to bootloader mode?

Wwalmis When this happens can you enter command "reset" and hit enter - after the board ...

Rocco Thamanoidis•2/9/25, 9:06 PM

I will try aswell. Have disconnections like 3 times and hour currently. Is this command reset different from "Reset Motors" button?
