-Meh, just watch the thread.

here's the stock controller in all its stockish glory

GhoSt · « **Reply #1 on:** October 19, 2009, 10:48:52 PM »

Ok I begin the modding today, here are dated stock pics

And a little hint as to what I am going to be doing on the paint side of things, no prizes for guessing.

injungleist · « **Reply #2 on:** October 20, 2009, 01:35:50 PM »

no prizes for guessing, but i think digital camo.
yea, i win.

GhoSt · « **Reply #3 on:** October 20, 2009, 10:30:16 PM »

lol, nice yea digital camo paint job, arg its taking ages to cut out the masks.
More info:
Im going to be relocating ABXY, Installing hybrid burst rapid fire (lugnut code), and several led mods.

GhoSt · « **Reply #4 on:** October 23, 2009, 04:48:54 PM »

filled the ABXY old space, sanded and ready for painting, almost... need finer sanding on the rest of the controller. I used this builders bog crap to fill the holes and I was sceptical but I am really pleased with the outcome and how easy it was to use.

Next up, drill some holes and paint, going to wait for hazers release of modified gameplayrf before I rapid fire. (decided against lugnut hybrid burst code)

edit: primed, forgot date in this pic, but I am trustworthy and swear it is mine.

GhoSt · « **Reply #5 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:34:45 PM »

the abxy tact replacement holes. I also drilled the tact hole for gameplay rf switch this was drilled in the middle of where the old abxy was placed. This will most likely be the last update today, stay tuned because I am planning the digital camo paint-job tomorrow (hope the weather holds out)

Sweet stuff ghost its looking great man.

GhoSt · « **Reply #11 on:** October 25, 2009, 12:23:50 AM »

thanks, I can't wait till my leds arrive, also hazer is realising BMU3 which has burst so I think I am going to change my planned Rf code for the 3rd time this project.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #12 on:** October 25, 2009, 09:45:45 AM »

Yea i heard about that should be something to see.

GhoSt · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2009, 10:50:36 PM »

Anyway, Started the rapid fire yesterday. Here the pic and its programmer, Final code gameplayrf2.

also thought I would chuck in a advertising shot

And finally today there was good news as my trusty led supplier's 0603 arrived in the mail.

More to come, I am usually busy in the week, but weekends I try to put time aside for this.

GhoSt · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2009, 11:43:50 PM »

oh also, for those who can't watch video's here is my controller shell. Meh looks better in real life. The ABXY pad has disappeared I am so pleased there is no trace what so ever of it and all my mates thought the shell was stock

I love led swaps, so tomorrow night I am going to do that, also after school I will head to my local electronics store to pick up the rest of my parts.

dedafmonteur · « **Reply #15 on:** October 29, 2009, 03:20:58 AM »

looks like

, ill buy it for 5 dollar jsut to help you out....lol

just kidding dude, i really like the paintjob, nt bad at all

GhoSt · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2009, 10:03:23 PM »

Lol thanks

.

The led swap was completed successfully.
de-soldered the stock leds

here's the little fella, jumpy little 0603's.

Installed the fresh set

and bam

dedafmonteur · « **Reply #17 on:** October 30, 2009, 01:32:04 AM »

lookds nice, i hate to tear away the old leds and put new in.
those smd leds are so small, and thanks to my right hand that cant stop shaking when i focus (thx to an accident with a scooter) its hard.

GhoSt · « **Reply #18 on:** October 30, 2009, 04:08:34 AM »

I enjoy it I have a pretty steady hand though. I get really frustrated sometimes though, the leds always used to ping out from under my tweezers and fly somewhere into the depth of the carpet.

GhoSt · « **Reply #19 on:** October 30, 2009, 03:09:11 PM »

finished the abxy relocation, Im angry that my soldering skills are getting worse, I need to practice more.

tested and working so that's good to go.

GhoSt · « **Reply #20 on:** November 06, 2009, 02:04:39 AM »

Arg Im not out of this, I have been sick for the last few days, but this weekend I am going to pack it down and finish it. Having some problems with gameplayrf2 (first time using that code) so I am going to use burnmeup3 since I have used that about 8 times before.

So yea still count me into this comp.

GhoSt · « **Reply #21 on:** November 06, 2009, 08:24:20 PM »

finished rapid fire, burnmeup3 on the face tact switch, rather than sinc. found a nice little spot for the chip here. god I hate hot glue, gets everywhere and the stringy bits are so annoying, after this project never using the stuff again. going to have to clean this up abit.

and slaped two 0603's in the dome.

oh and btw I found a 3 volt switched point on the matrix

not sure I should be pulling to much current from it though so I'm not going to go overkill on leds, lol guess that destroys any chance of me winning.
anyway everything all fits in without removal the rumbles and hopefully I will get a vid of it up and running in the next few days, then one more final vid after its all finished.

spurgurgle · « **Reply #22 on:** November 07, 2009, 03:56:31 AM »

looking good ghost.....
a 3v switched in the matrix.....???????????

lol yeah thats wot i thought ................
but at least your pads got som proper mods in it hopefully thats wot counts.... not how bright you can make a pad lol

GhoSt · « **Reply #23 on:** November 07, 2009, 12:50:19 PM »

thanks man, closed this all up today and it works. Got a video of it and will hopefully post it today.

3v switched I used is pretty basic, use the positive rail which heads to the player leds then run the negitive to the ground used for rapid fire, and thats worked for me.

GhoSt · « **Reply #24 on:** November 07, 2009, 02:10:26 PM »

here are some pics. I love it when a mod comes together. Meh Im not going to post the vid as it is so crap quality, I will only post a final presentation vid.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #25 on:** November 07, 2009, 07:31:59 PM »

Nice ghost it looks great man cant wait to see the video not sure witch button is witch on hopefully thats in the video.

GhoSt · « **Reply #26 on:** November 07, 2009, 08:08:43 PM »

Yea I am finished school in 2 days for "study leave" should have some spare time to record a video.

spurgurgle · « **Reply #27 on:** November 08, 2009, 08:45:26 AM »

thats looking great ghost loving the paint on it... the grey matches the grey dpad and anologs.... dam nice controller u got there....

GhoSt · « **Reply #28 on:** November 09, 2009, 10:05:35 AM »

yea that was kinda what I was going for. My gameplay has improved heaps with this controller and I am getting like positive 10every cod4 match, It takes some getting used to but once you have your thumbs don't really have to leave the analogs so you are always ready to knife/turn around while jumping/reloading ect. Great for 360collateral no scopes

GhoSt · « **Reply #29 on:** November 10, 2009, 06:16:00 PM »

changed my mind, heres a short demo vid. This will be the last VIDEO update before my final presentation.

~~youtube and its copy write bullcrap, blocked audio from my vid making it useless. Never fear I will post a new one soon~~ edit: managed to claim my audio back... I think... post it again since this is the start of a new page Digital camo xbox 360 modded controller (ABXY relocation)

Kitsune · « **Reply #31 on:** November 12, 2009, 08:00:32 PM »

Wows, looks sick as

. Liking the the digital camo pattern, and the overall look.

One thing I would have done different is painted the analog sticks, pad, etc etc, a more contrasty colour than grey. A nice solid black would have been better IMHO.

But very good job.

GhoSt · « **Reply #32 on:** November 12, 2009, 08:04:35 PM »

yea, I was thinking about that, but I wasn't too sure how the paint would work on the rubber of the analogs, then I just decided the rest of the pad is grey so it shouldn't matter that much.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #33 on:** November 12, 2009, 08:17:00 PM »

Yea nice job ghost. The paint the rubber kinda worked for me on the skull one i did but its pealing just from the top and thats about it. But its holding together.

GhoSt · « **Reply #34 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:30:00 AM »

yea, well I kinda wan't the paint job to stand the test of time, I will have a look around though there must be some suitable paint for this type of work.

Also I will be posting the final presentation vid within the next 2 days, so watch this space.

GhoSt · « **Reply #35 on:** November 13, 2009, 04:41:05 PM »

finalk presentation basicaly just consists of me playing around in several games to show you that it all works.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #37 on:** November 13, 2009, 08:26:57 PM »

Nice ghost seems to be very functional now. Also love the song breaking benjamin is great.

GhoSt · « **Reply #38 on:** November 14, 2009, 02:23:06 AM »

thanks,
and yea its really fully functionable. Now that I play with it I don't know how I ever played with a normal controller. The design of all controllers is flawed, the fact that you only use trigger fingers and thumbs. Relocating the ABXY allows some of the spare fingers at the back to be used and means you never need to remove your right thumb from analog (unless toggling on rapid fire). This gives you the edge over other players allowing you to look around/knife whilst reloading/jumping/crouching/swapping weapons.

Ultimately the dpad should be relocated, but since its not used as often its not vital. The advantages are really noticeable in halo, ghandi hopping becomes so much easier, plus melee can be done whilst turning around. Plus one of my objectives was to make sure the rumbles stayed in, and I am proud to state that both rumbles are still in, so this controller still allows for the normal gaming experience but gives you a slight edge over other players in multiplayer.

Anyway onto the final pics, Here is the finished controller Project Tear Away.

I'm carefully watching my photo bucket bandwidth, I hope it does not run out before voting.

Thanks for following my project

Lookin' sweet.

GhoSt · « **Reply #40 on:** November 14, 2009, 01:18:27 PM »

cheers, I think that'll be my final update. Also I didn't move the analogs due to my left thumb hating ps3 controllers, it only likes the high analogs which is stange since I am ambidextrous.

subversed · « **Reply #41 on:** November 18, 2009, 07:48:32 PM »

in order to make paint stick to a rubber or vinyl surface you'd need to go over it with scotchbrite- basically that stuff that's just like the back of a kitchen sponge but scratchier. had to paint a miata/mx5 bumper one time (they're rubber) the only way to get paint to stay on them over time is to scratch them enough to create the right kind of grooves.
i agree with not painting them because by nature, rubber is well- rubbery. and while pretty, dry paint is certainly not rubbery. aka cracking/flaking if the surface underneath is allowed to shift or move underneath the paint... (like rubber does if you press on it)

kudos, that is a sick controller.

GhoSt · « **Reply #42 on:** November 18, 2009, 08:17:43 PM »

thanks dude, yea I think I wil stay away from painting analogs. I mean it might last great for a week or so, but I like my controllers to last ages.
