Trying to hack into xbox360 controller for CP.. triggers? Ipac?

Sir Headless VII:
You could try using one of these with a keyboard switch to switch between the x-box and the PC. I am planning on doing something similar with my PS2.

So I'm trying to figure out how to hack up a 360 controller... 

I'm using this page as a guide, and I have the exact same controller...

Does anyone know if it's possible to map the trigger buttons to a pushbutton?

They're analog but there has got to be some way to simulate an "all the way up" and "all the way down" push, right?

Also, I assume I can wire the controller and Ipac to the same buttons, no?

You can do all of this. If you leave the existing potentiometer for the triggers in place all you have to do is connect a wire to the the #1 and #2 contact points. You don't need to use resistors unless you remove the existing potentiometer. If you are planning on using an ipac or more than one PCB for a CP then you have to make sure that both are powered. You do this by connecting the + from the xbox controller to the + on the ipac and the - from the xbox controller to the - on the ipac. Hope this helps.

Hrm...  I'm under the impression that I did exactly that, and it wouldn't work.... unless I was doing it wrong, I guess.

Yeah... I may end up going that route for a ps3 or ps2... Although the 360 has a much better arcade gametype lineup right now, Andy says that a adapter for the ipac will most likely never happen because of microsoft restrictions

Sorry for the repeat posting...


So I'm trying to wrap my head around how the wiring  could work, and I'm not understanding...

I made a little diagram to help myself visualize it without having to wire (and possibly harm) anything...

I don't know if this is too much to ask, but can you draw lines in the diagram to illustrate the proper way to do this thing?
