Wwalmis and the threads diameter on the male part

Vulkan•6/22/22, 4:17 AM

14.5mm Thread Diameter

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

@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.

walmisOP•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

walmisOP•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?

walmisOP•6/22/22, 5:07 AM

for VKB - yes

walmisOP•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 -?

walmisOP•6/23/22, 12:02 PM

ah, it doesn't matter, but thanks for noticing. The power is distributed equally to those 3 ports.

walmisOP•6/23/22, 12:03 PM

positive is the yellow wire

That looks really good.

Dude the CNCed adaptor mount looks so good. It's crazy how low the price you charge for them is.

walmisOP•6/23/22, 8:05 PM

I think I'll go with 25€ final price if bought with the rhino, they require a bit of work, but very reasonable price for CNCed composite part.

Naudiz•6/24/22, 8:38 PM

is the design still with a seperate connection or did you reach an understanding with either VKB or their connection?

sko•6/24/22, 8:48 PM

So if you go the vkb route you'll need the grip, Blackbox and electronics too? So basically everything but the gimbal And it'll run on the exterior of the stick.

Wwalmis VKB decided to encrypt the communication with the Grip

source-guilherme•6/24/22, 8:49 PM

Attention to this folks

source-guilherme•6/24/22, 8:50 PM

So anybody who wants to use with VKB grip will need to hook separately with a blackbox

Pimck•6/24/22, 8:58 PM

Are there any commercially available desk mounts that would accommodate a Rhino unit well?

Khangirey•6/24/22, 11:19 PM

Just found this randomly browsing YT. Seems like a super cool project. How will it integrate with DCS? Does this face the same problems that Brunner has with only reading certain parameters from a lua or will this access all the data from all the modules?

walmisOP•6/25/22, 4:15 AM

The base itself is quite high, so better to attach to the floor/seat than use long and possibly wobbly desk extensions

walmisOP•6/25/22, 4:17 AM

Thanks! It integrates natively to dcs (and other titles such as IL2) like a msffb2. It's possible to use lua to augment additional effects if desired.

walmisOP•6/25/22, 4:23 AM

*
Regarding VKB - yes you will need to connect to the black box. This is a solution for those who have existing VKB systems and don't want to switch over to TM/Virpil.

are the arrangement of the screw holes identical to any existing device? I saw on the diagram that the distance btwn the holes are 160 x 160.32 though, they are in mm I guess?

or perhaps it's possible to direct mount the Rhino onto a aluminum profile structure? consumer center chair mounts are very rear..

walmisOP•6/25/22, 5:19 AM

Yeah it's 160x160mm. You can definitely make a structure from alu profiles. But it needs to be pretty well attached to something.

walmisOP•6/25/22, 5:20 AM

A couple of concrete sidewalk tiles would do the trick also
