cant solder my sanwa joystick!
D4RKSL4Y3R:
hi, iam making an arcade stick for my 360 and cant get the SANWA JLF-TP-8YT joystick to work! i have soldered it but the xbox cant regester it or at the the dashboard it will just regester right or left and stick like that until i turn it off!
is there a special way to solder SANWA JLF-TP-8YT joysticks? (the xbox control pad has no common ground BTW!)
thanks
Jeff AMN:
Can you post a couple of pics of what you've done showing the solder joints on the JLF?
Timoe:
If you use the micro-controller that madcatz makes for the xbox360 and sells at EB games, it has common grounds and you can use it with your Sanwa JLF and the 5-pin wiring harness.
If you are using any other xbox360 controller, you need to take off the JLF pcb with the microswitches and replace it with regular microswitches. Sanwa makes switches for this purpose but cherry's will work just fine.
Then you can wire 2 independent wires per direction on your joystick.
