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

<< < (2/4) > >>

Bender:
ahhh, that does make sense, but how do ohms relate to the pot rating of 5k or 100k

what does the "k" mean?

on the happ analog joystick page it says  "Optional pot. amplifier PC board allows variable output from potentiometer"
could that be a way to get them to match up?

I am extreeeeeemmmmly interested in this topic.

I know Quasimoto is already doing it on their panels and arcade installations:

I know this one has a PS2 logo on it, but I their other cabs have xboxes in them:

I think the point for us however, is to do this on the cheap. I would love to get those sticks they use on that panel, find out who the vendor is and place an order.

If I recall correctly, I think slagcoin said they were 100k pots. The just getting pots is easy, but the hard part for me is finding the right stick. The ones on the quasimodo panel are just perfect for what I had in mind. Anyone have one of these things willing to take some pics?

k means thousand. As in " this potentiometer goes from 0 Ohms of resistance to 100,000 Ohms of resistance, so it is a 100k pot"

ok I feel a bit stupid now but, at least now I know



yeah, this thread got started cause GaryMcT and I were talkin about trying to make it happen and I mentioned Quasimoto to him
but I feel like they are very expensive and those controls don't look very comfortable to me

but the point is that they did find a way to do it

I'll bust out the Ohms meter tonight and see what we have in there

Bender:
actually looks like Quasimoto went the XFPS route.... Damn! :banghead:

look at this under the xbox360 adapter section
that's the first version of the XFPS in that photo there and the fact that they're including a wired controller with it I think proves that's the route they went
makes sense if they wanted to use the same panel for different consoles

the latest XFPS pro 3 is supposed to be pretty good but what a pain to use and itself is expensive and not wireless
