Botched controller hack?-New Guy Here

(1/2) > >>

tsubaki:
Hi. I'm new to these boards. This site is great btw. I've built a supergun before, and I now have two cabs (NeoGeo conversion inside a Rampage, and a Simpsons 4 player.)
So, anyway, I was trying to hack an old xbox controller. The problem is I whacked off a trigger button mechanism and I think I damaged the board. See the three pins on the right where it should have a little grey box? Is this something to be salvaged or just no biggie? I was planning on ruining this board during my attempt to solder wires to it. Help me, BYOAC, you're my only hope...

tsubaki:
Ug. So +1 maybe I can get enough posts off this thread to be able to get more help around here. :(

GreenBoy:
Perhaps you may be better posting this in the console section of the forums.

HaRuMaN:
You knocked off the trigger pot?

You can solder it back...

There may be a way to get around that, but I've never tried it with an original Xbox controller.  Holding the controller like you normally would, you could try putting a 10Kohm resistor from the center pin to the top pin.

tsubaki:
Hey thanks. I don't think I'm really qualified for that kind of stuff, though.  :laugh:
