I'm trying to get the analog triggers on an Xbox 360 controller to work like a normal button. Rather than the analog of somewhere in between. On episode one of the Benheck show (11:30ish), Ben shows you how to do it, assuming you kept the pots (and perhaps glued them in place so they don't rotate). However, I desoldered mine because there wasn't space for them. Well, I've moved houses since then and have no idea where they could be. However, I know there is a way to do it without the pots, I'm just not sure how. I found one thread on the subject here. Problem is, there are two solutions given, and I'm not sure which is right: --- Quote from: Franco B ---There are three pins on the pot/pad. If you look at the pad as if you are holding it, bridge the bottom two pins with a 10k resistor. Attach a ground wire to the bottom pin and attach the NO terminal of the buttons microswitch to the top pin. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: r3ll1k ---One is to remove the potentiometer if you do the best thing to do is solder 2 10K resistors to the contacts so that they won't register as open. You then solder a wire to the middle contact as your signal wire and then wire the ground wire to any common ground on the controller. --- End quote --- Has anyone here done this in the past and can confirm which way is correct? |

Depends on whether you have the old pcb or the new pcb... |

It's a gamestop-brand PCB actually. |
