need help with psx hack

Pages: << < (2/3) > >>

Bgnome:

are you using a 30 watt iron?  a 15 watt is better for electronic work.  you may have left the iron too long on the trace/pad.  try a little flux and you should be able to just dab the iron to solder the wire on.

IguanaStorm:

thanx a ton.  i am decent with a soldering iron but have never had to solder anything this sensitive.  ill give it a try when i get a free minute.  thanx again to everyone who posted.   8)

Holy crap man..    What exactly are you doing?  If your trying to make a PSX controller work with a PC, it's ALOT easier than this....   Check this out.

FYI, it your looking to mod-up a PSX controller to be a sort of iPac, your better off using the convertor anyway, it'll save your wiring effort immensely.

I'm sure the original poster can speak for himself but his initial inquiry is one of wiring arcade joysticks/buttons using PSx controller hack not necessarily interfacing a PSx controller to PC......though he may have that planned "next".




TalkingOctopus:

Also, I highly recommend using some flux before you solder.  You can get it at a place like Radioshack.  Before attaching the wire, melt some flux onto the circuit board at the solder points.  It is kind of like a glue that will give you a better connection and make soldering to a pcb much easier.
