Hunden Ynk Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 I've been working on modding my MSFFB2 with a CH Fighterstick handle for a while now, so far everything has gone more or less smooth. But yesterday, after finally putting it all together, I might have hit a bump. With the motors on and the stick in center position, the unit makes a high pitched sound. Something like a printer, but much quieter. Moving the stick off center makes the noise go away. This makes me very uncertain, because I don't remember (perhaps incorrectly) it sounding like that before. It might just be that the way its mounted now, exaggerates a sound that was always there. I'm just worrying that the sound is a sign that something terrible is about to happen. :helpsmilie: PS. I did some searching, and for R/C servos, which I guess the MSFFB2 motors are similar to, that kind of idle noise seems normal. But I'd love some more reassurance...
The LT Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Sounds like a servo seeking noise. Surely normal in servomotors (esp. RC servos) but not sure if it should be present in MSFFB2. My controls & seat Main controls: , BRD-N v4 Flightstick (Kreml C5 controller), TM Warthog Throttle (Kreml F3 controller), BRD-F2 Restyling Bf-109 Pedals w. damper, TrackIR5, Gametrix KW-908 (integrated into RAV4 seat) Stick grips: Thrustmaster Warthog Thrustmaster Cougar (x2) Thrustmaster F-16 FLCS BRD KG13 Standby controls: BRD-M2 Mi-8 Pedals (Ruddermaster controller) BRD-N v3 Flightstick w. exch. grip upgrade (Kreml C5 controller) Thrustmaster Cougar Throttle Pilot seat
Hunden Ynk Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 I'm pretty sure the motors in the MSFFB2 are servos. What's make me so doubtful, is that I tested the setup just prior to properly mounting it in the new box that I made, only because fixing errors would be pretty painful after that point, and I did not react to any sound then. Hmm... I should have made a recording, since it so darn hard to remember the level of sound.
HugePanic Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Maybe there is just some friction added at your assembly?? Can you just loosen some of your own installed bolts and things, to see if it helps.
Hunden Ynk Posted September 6, 2013 Author Posted September 6, 2013 Yeah, that's an excellent suggestion, since I have the tendency to overdo constructions in the name of sturdiness. :smilewink:
