Dual Strike hack confusion

(1/3) > >>

Gray_Area:
I decided it would be neat (and somewhat in the spirit of preservation) to use a male end plug. I've been refering to the various links in the wiki for this, but they all go the route of clipping off the female end, and not explaining exactly where *all* wires go.

I'm confused between these two images:







- I have the triggers correct.

- I have the 'red' wires shown in image 1 going to ports 5 and 6.

- I have the black wires from those twisted together and going to port 10.

- I guess the 'ground' in figure 1 goes to port 12.


So where do the leads for ports 9 and 11 come from?

do you mean the Microsoft Sidewinder Pad? : http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-C32-00006-SideWinder-Dual-Strike/dp/B00002SX0B

Are you following 1up's guide?

I had some info that was a little better than that page when I did mine.  I don't remember which guide I used, but I know I looked at a few.  I think I might have primarily used UncleT's guide:

Here's the list on the wiki:

Shouldn't those be going to pin 9 and the white wires (wiper/center) to the pots going to pins 5 & 6?
5v needs to get to the pots somehow.
  
There are 2 different ways of wiring them depending on the joystick you're hacking, but both require 5v to the pot.

Looks right according to the diagram.

What pin do you have the common wires from the switches going to?
That looks like what pin 11 is for.

bkenobi:
Just to be clear, you do know that there is no single common for this controller.  For whatever reason, each group of controls seems to have its own ground that does NOT connect to the others.  I saw someone post a scheme for making things work with a common ground, but since I had already wired everything up, I no longer know who did it.
