Well I am finally getting around to trying it again and I think I F'ed up again and shorted the gold pieces. Could I use the start and select buttons as well? I need to finish this with in 4 hours :timebomb: |
| HaRuMaN:
Yes, you should be able to map any button... |
| Donkbaca:
You can use any button. I would suggest cleaning off that solder on those shorted buttons because if you plug in the pad, they will be constantly registering. Soldering to those gold pads is a little tricky. I would hold the soldering iron to the gold pieces and heat them up first, then tin your wires and then solder gold to tin. |

So by saying tin my wires does that mean I can wrap the solder around the wire then just connect the solder to the PCB board? I always thought the wire had to be directly touching the board. Excuse my noobness. |

The wire doesn't need to directly touch. Solder is just metal that melts easily, and is conductive. |
