I want to ask some questions about the project/product, it is open source like i can build myself a similar one?
If the answer is yes, will you sell only the USB board or the diagram of the board?

Check the FAQ channel. Design is not open source, but you can buy motors and electronics from VPforce and build your own gimbal like some guys have done. Check the Showcase channel for different designs.

Hey folks, is there the possibility of adding extentions to the stick e.g. floor mounting.

walmis•6/22/22, 4:03 AM

@ozwookiee it's possible to use a standard Virpil extenstion

walmis•6/22/22, 4:07 AM

Can anyone give me a spec for the connector that should go out from VKB adapter to the black box?

walmis•6/22/22, 4:07 AM

I guess a male connector for this should be on the base

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:07 AM

*It has changed slightly in the newer base

walmis•6/22/22, 4:08 AM

on the black box also ?

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:08 AM

I should have a spare one if you'd want it sent

Wwalmis on the black box also ?

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:09 AM

yes ill send a photo one moment

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:09 AM

that said im based in aus so may be cheaper all round to get one from them hahah

do you have a caliper? Some dimensions would be helpful

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:13 AM

No, I do have a tape measure to hand. but im geussing you'd need to it be rather accurate

walmis•6/22/22, 4:14 AM

Give me a rough measurement of the diameter of the plug part

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:15 AM

will do one moment

walmis•6/22/22, 4:15 AM

and the threads diameter on the male part

walmis•6/22/22, 4:16 AM

quick google, and probably it's this: GX12

@vulkan607 perhaps you have a multimeter ?

One missing piece of information is the pinout from the VKB grip contact PCB -> 4 wire connector mapping. That could be found out with continuity test.

walmis•6/22/22, 4:44 AM

ah, nvm, found it!

I'm excited by this VKB progress, I better start saving up.

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:58 AM

Indeed, I was ready to switch to a TM grip if It meant using this base

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:59 AM

but now I dont have to im very happy

walmis•6/22/22, 5:00 AM

The only downside is the dangling wire that will go out of the adapter base

TrigaNZ•6/22/22, 5:07 AM

Are the base and the grip seen as two different controllers?

walmis•6/22/22, 5:07 AM

for VKB - yes

walmis•6/22/22, 5:07 AM

VKB decided to encrypt the communication with the Grip

TrigaNZ•6/22/22, 5:09 AM

So you could put one of those cable fittings in the base for the VKB blackbox, then the wire would be inside the base?

BikerSid•6/22/22, 11:48 AM

That's a radio mike connector

- still, it's not a bad solution at all, I use them myself on my projects sometimes - poor person's Amphenol

JayPi•6/23/22, 12:01 PM

I am a bit confused. On the connection diagram the PSU is connected to MOT1 and Motor 2 to PWR. Is this correct?
The motor wires are blue and yellow. Which wire is + and which -?
