hi everybody

i'm new to this forum and i have questions regarding soldering a wireless xbox 360 controller.
i have the following model:

http://slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_diagrams/360_diagram5.jpg

i have tools, i can solder, cut, trim....but i'm terrible with electronic diagrams.

in the link i postet above is a diagram that shows signal and common points.
do i have to solder a wire to each and every "common" point?

if yes, i would have 5-7 common wires. can i just connect them all together to
one wire and go from that to the terminal strip? it would look like a tree.
or do i have to daisy chain all common points?

slagcoin shows also the two points LT and RT. But after reading through this Topic i'm not sure
that i can just solder them and use them as normal buttons without the 10k resistors.
is that right?

in the center of the controller is a 3.3v and "ground" point. these are only needed if i intend to
attach a external battery pack. is that right?

Tsimi:
No one? Is there nobody that can bump me to the right direction?

I wired yesterday a couple of wires (see picture).
All i need to know is what to do with the common wires?
And do i need to solder the ground point in the middle next to the 3.3V point.

Anyone? Please? HaRuMaN??

HaRuMaN:
You sure you have that model?

If so, I would ignore the commons on that controller. Just solder two wires for each button and d-pad direction, it'll be easier.

Tsimi:
HaRuMaN! Finally, salvation is at hand. :notworthy:

yup, i'm pretty sure TP3 and L7 is written on it.
as you can see i put glue on it already. :-\
i was thinking X, Y and B share a common ground, right? so if i daisy chain X, Y and B arcade buttons and connect then the common wire from the PCB
with the daisy chain wire from the arcade stick (X,Y,B) then it should work right?
so instead of [signal, ground] - [signal, ground] - [signal, ground] i can just use [signal, signal, signal, ground] is this theory wrong?

No, that will work. I just find that all the multiple grounds on that controller get confusing, but if you are careful and consistent, it will work.

You making a wireless stick?
