Title: securing lose wires after hacking gamepad?
Post by: krion on July 01, 2005, 07:36:24 pm

now that i have soldered all these wires onto the DC board, how do I secure them such that they dont come lose?  I *think* i've seen hot glue used?  Anyone have a picture of a good way to organize them?  Thanks

HarumaN seems to have it down pretty good.

thanks for that pic.  Looks like hot glue to me?

Yes -- that's hot glue.  I use it as well, although my hacks are not as neat as HarumaN's.

can put hot glue on any part of the board?  Or is there something i need to be wary of?
