XBOX 360 analog controller hack... could use some help from you all

<< < (3/4) > >>

Bender:
ok, each pot has 3 pins

which ones do I measure between for what?

sorry I'm so slow on the electronics front

Bender:
seem to be 10k pots

the good news here is that almost all console analog thumbsticks are 10k also so theoretically you could wire the same cp to work with the x360 and the PS3

tcleary:
edit:  oops, you want dual analogs, so this won't help for that.  I can't imagine there are a ton of games you'd need that kind of setup for, guess it would be good for geometry wars.

i took the easy way out and used some sf4 te sticks for my x360 arcade control panel.  they are nice because they have a switch to set the stick to the right analog or left analog or the digital pad.  splosian man defaults to the analog stick so i just had to flip a switch, maybe that game lets you map it to the digital though.  it's nice not to have to worry about such things.  you could get the cheaper sf4 stick for around $60 now I think and save the trouble.

Yeah, 10K. I read it in the slagcoin article:

--- Quote ---To replace variable resistors with steady resistors that will make it so interfering signals are not sent, first remove the resistor by heating the three solder point and pulling it out. For variable resistors used by triggers, usually one steady resistor is needed between the voltage source and the middle signal point. This will send a low voltage (which usually is not zero) and make the PCB consider it unengaged. 10K resistors usually work fine, but around 5K is often preferred so it does not affect much current in the PCB.

Bender:
Thanks namco!

I'd read that article a while back and couldn't find it again on that site

basically now I'm just looking for a joystick with 10k pots and I'll solder it in and see what happens

anybody know of a cheap Joystick that uses 10k pots?
