Ok...here's what I've got:

http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu244/Gizzmo0815/JoytechNeoSE4716VerB.jpg?t=1239828745 (http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu244/Gizzmo0815/JoytechNeoSE4716VerB.jpg?t=1239828745)

1) With my cheap-ass analog multimeter set on 1K Ohms (resistance test) if I put the positive lead on any one of the red pads and the negative on any other red pad I get 0 Ohms resistance, I'm assuming that means this is a common ground controller. Please please correct me if I'm wrong on that, I'm new to this.

2) If I put the positive lead on any red pad and the negative on any blue pad I get 5 Ohms, I'm assuming that means the blue pads are the signal pads. Again, please correct me if I'm wrong.

3) If I put the positive on any red pad and put the negative on the middle post (marked in yellow) for either of the trigger POTS I get a reading of approximately .5 Ohms, and on the bottom post on the triggers (marked in orange) I get approximately 1.5 Ohms. Can I safely say that the yellow post is the "Low" and the Orange is the "High"? And if I leave the POTS on the board glued into the same position they would be in with the trigger UN-pressed and then hooked up the button to the orange post (High?) would that effectively make my pushbutton act as a digital button in place of the triggers?

Here's how I'm going to wire it:

Woops, meant to post this in the hack thread, but if anyone else has the Joytech Neo SE 4716  pad, here's how to wire it.
