man this is awesome. Found you through Flight Dojo's video and i'm glad i clicked through to here. I'm not playing sims much these days but if i ever get back into it i'll have to hit you up for one of these.
Insane work, keep it up!
Any plans for rudder force feedback? That would be both a first and really neat for prop aircraft/helis.
With this kit it's actually possible, with diy skills to add this to a current rudder set you may have, or could buy, like one of the virpil sets.
There is a serious gap in the market for Force feedback sticks, a lot of simmers I'm sure would love to see these brought into a higher scale of production. Any possible team up with Thrustmaster, VKB, Virpil??
Will you have a stl file for similar for the gymbal?
This is very impressive! How soon might a kit be available?
Hi, thanks! I'm starting to take preorders, If you're interested, contact me directly :)
@@walmis Hi, How can we contact you directly? I would like one.
@@gman9148 Hi! the best way to get in touch would be via the VPforce Discord. You can find the invite link in the video description.
for spring, is it a gradual force or constant? in other words does the resistance increase further from center? if so is there a way to make it constant but return to center after as from my experience in helicopters that feels more realistic. thanks!
It's possible to configure it the way you describe with spring force saturation parameters
Hi. Don't you want to make dc motors ffb support?
Know of anyone who has used this on a Honeycomb Alpha Yoke?
are you using stepper motors or three phase brushless servos? would the controller board work with other similar motors? that would make life easier, i would need to buy only the controller
Hi, these are 3 phase brushless motors with integrated driver that I developed. The driver itself is tailored to these motors and calibrated, so the motors are sold as a complete package. No tweaking, etc is necessary. I don't plan to sell the motor electronics separately at the moment. I do offer larger 86BLF motors though :)
I'm also interested - what's the best way to contact you about such a kit?
Hi, thanks! I've updated the contact details in the video description. Realized there's no way to contact in youtube directly, d'oh.
Can this be set to be compatible with the VKB F14 replica grip?
I offer a VKB adapter that screws on a Virpil/TM mount, but VKB is not supported natively by the FFB board, though you can connect the VKB grip directly to the VKB Black Box with said adapter.
Does the kit include the stls for printing a gimbal?
You can find a working gimbal in this project: github.com/farm/bldc-ffb-joystick-base
@@walmis Whats the lead time for kits? Same year wait for fully built?
@@MozTS No, ~1 week for the kit :)
How can I order one of these please?
Hi, you can contact me via VPforce discord or directly here: order.vpforce.eu if you know which size motors you would like
What kind of motors do you use?
I use various - NEMA23, NEMA34 BLDCs
Nice do you use them with an arduino servo shield or what kind of controller is necessairy for the stepper motor?
what would the cost of such a unit be?
Two servo motors, controller board, software - 300EUR
