Lent my vkb base to a friend, so nothing from me unfortunately. I modeled an adapter for grips but that likely isn't useful and I can't guarantee accuracy (did fit fine on my gimbal)
I was looking at building my own using hoverboard motors I’ve modified. I can push around 10nm from them but haven’t ran the calc for max force after gearing. Also not sure they will have anywhere near the response the 86blf motors will
Yeah these motors have a few very good properties - coils are on the outside, meaning the case makes a very good heatsink and good mounting for the driver board to cool the transistors into the motor - one nice clean package as a result :)
Current state of a force feedback pedal set in slow building. Using the pendicular f-14 design. Would your software work in this application or would it require modification?
It’s very heavy. Will be around 70 lbs when completed. I got tired of chasing my current pedal set across the floor. This sucker could be a boat anchor
The motors do heat up at max force, but with active cooling it's not a big problem like in the Brunner. The peak force for the 'Rhino' base is around 5Nm.
Awesome! Is it available for purchase yet? I heard a rough price of 800. I just be interested in the process of doing it. And some more information of the stick itself. I've been going through the channels here but I'm finding it hard to get a clear of it.
