making Saturn joystick
« on: April 04, 2007, 09:27:32 pm »
I have a question guys

Is there any info on the sega saturn controller pinout?..

let me explain

I don't wanna solder to the PCB directly normally there is a place where there is solder & contacts can be made there aswell & it's 100% easyer to solder there

sometimes it's on a chip or somewhere that theres solder joints all alligned

I just need to know which is wich .

Thanks!!

The saturn has a digital encoded input for its pads.... You won't be able to hack it easily.

thanks for the site

im checking the diagram

i don't get it very much...

i guess i will have to solder it RIGHT onto the PCB?....

cause doing that sucks cause it's very hard to make the solder stick to the pcb it always seem to slip.

use flux, and scratch up the surface a little make sure there is not a coating on top of the metal.
