Hey all, going to build a arcade stick out of an official xbox 360 wired controller, i will take pictures of the PCB once i get them tomorrow, there will be 2 PCBs. At the moment i have these parts 6 sanwa 30mm obsf buttons ------ main buttons 2 sanwa 24mm buttons ---------- start and xbox guide/home 1 sanwa joystick JLF-TP-8YT ------ joystick has mounting plate attached 1 sanwa joystick Harness ------- quick connect/disconnect harness for Sanwa JLF joysticks also bought a bunch of these quick connect wires http://www.in2amusements.com.au/shop/index.php/13/236_Wire_Coloured_With_Quick_Connector_.110_Size http://www.in2amusements.com.au/shop/index.php/13/233_Wire_Ground_Harness_Suit_Sanwa These are the 2 versions of the PCBs which alot of you guys have seen http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_diagrams/360_diagram6.jpg http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_diagrams/360_diagram1.jpg Based on my parts and the PCB that i get (could be both the early and late version), may someone help me out with a sketch diagram for the hookup of the wires from the buttons to the PCB? What iv'e read the common ground PCB should/can be daisy chained? no idea how the daisy chain business works. Any input or suggestions will be awesome ;D ... please don't flame me and say "search" the forums first :timebomb: |

Welcome to the forum. Well I suppose your expecting this, but seriously, search! If you took two minutes to search or look around you would see this thread right at the top of the consoles sub-forum > [Xbox 360 Controller Hack Tutorial -- Wireless Hack Now Available!!!] < You will find most of what you need in there. Have a good read and then come back if you have any questions. |

;D Yeah, take a look at my tutorial. While for an Xbox 360 pad, the method is still basically the same. |

Thanks for the replies :) .... my bad i shall read the tutorial ;D While i'm reading the tutorial, someone explain to me how to do a daisy chain if i have a common ground PCB :) |
| Franco B:
Daisy chaining means you connect all of the microswitches ground/common terminals together and then attach the linked wire to the common ground on your pad. Kinda like this: This isn't a control pad but its the same principle. You can see all of the ground/common terminals are linked together whereas the NO (normally open) terminal from each microswitch is attached to a separate input. Its a good idea to make the chained grounds into a full loop, that way if you ever have a single ground fail the pad will still function. |
