Plans so far:

"PS" button led
status (1234) smd swap
sickmods fader chip
a ton of leds spread throughout (will light up a room up)
on/off and lever switches

and a BRAND NEW MOD never seen done before...

well I finally got a stock controller off a buddy so here it is, date and time on my LG...

alman101 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 23, 2009, 07:02:11 PM »

got some progress done tonight, just the standard PS button led and status smd swap, 1 and 3 are blue, 2 and 4 are white...

Controller mod-off Part 1

Did some pre-mod trimming prep for some other mods, next will be drilling for side LEDs and then on to paint...

Working progress. alman what kinda solder you using seems like you had hard time getting it on there.

alman101 · « **Reply #7 on:** October 23, 2009, 09:20:02 PM »

No its not the solder, its my cheap $15 iron. The iron doesn't get as hot as more expensive ones...

but hey it does the job

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #8 on:** October 23, 2009, 09:51:31 PM »

Oh i see man. Try getting a softer solder and the thinner it is the easier it is to solder.

alman101 · « **Reply #9 on:** October 24, 2009, 06:46:02 PM »

did some stuff today, got all internal mods done, side LED holes drilled, and buttons also drilled...

Controller mod-off Part 2

So everything is ready to be painted, will be ordering some LEDs tomo.

As of now there will be 22 LEDs on the sides (11 each handle), 4 LEDs in the buttons, and a PS button LED for a grand total of 27 LEDs, wiring will be fun in this one...

Hmm i have an idea but may be to much of an hassel but what your doing is great i had idea about the /\, [], O, X buttons if you care to hear.

alman101 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 24, 2009, 11:12:43 PM »

I have a good idea of what im doing, but im open to creativity

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #12 on:** October 24, 2009, 11:16:15 PM »

Alright well i was thinking for those buttons its a step more to do you can but the top of it into the button but not the sides and some how maybe fit some clear plexi glass or something of that size with a nice curve shape to that would give off more light reflection instead of the led it self its an idea but its up to you bro.

alman101 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 25, 2009, 06:59:32 AM »

hmmmm I have an idea on how to do that, but I just ordered a ton of LEDs so I'm a bit short on cash so I'll have to see if I have anything around the house like that, thanks for the idea

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #14 on:** October 25, 2009, 09:47:43 AM »

Ahh really dang i hate when that happens. But ha np ill keep an eye out see how turns out.

engine34 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 25, 2009, 06:33:59 PM »

HMM LIKE THE PROGRESS. If you don,t have $$$ for plexi. Yet here an idea do you have any cd case laying around. Just cut the small circle out of the cd lid. Then glue into place

alman101 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2009, 06:46:05 PM »

Did some sandin today, will start paintin tomo, LEDs are on the way...

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #17 on:** October 25, 2009, 06:56:37 PM »

Wasnt black before that sand paper really smoothed it.

alman101 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 25, 2009, 07:42:46 PM »

Ya I sanded for about 30min each side, its smooth as glass now, will have a nice gloss finish when its done

case is gonna be gloss white with gloss blue accent pieces (R1, R2, L1, L2, buttons) and then some kind of graphic or somthin

Krylon Fusion is the best paint for plastic around...

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2009, 10:17:19 PM »

Yea what you use to clear coat after its done.

Kitsune · « **Reply #20 on:** October 26, 2009, 04:14:16 AM »

I thought the whole point of Krylon Fusion is that you didn't need to sand?

Barnsey · « **Reply #21 on:** October 26, 2009, 04:20:04 AM »

what size drill bit did you use for the holes?

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #22 on:** October 26, 2009, 06:58:55 AM »

Well you can but ppl want make sure it sticks perfectly to it.

alman101 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 26, 2009, 08:12:20 AM »

the hole sizes in the 2nd vid, I can remember them off by hand so just watch...

alman101 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 26, 2009, 04:12:52 PM »

heres some early shots of paint, graphics then clear coat will be the next few days...

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #25 on:** October 26, 2009, 04:18:20 PM »

What kind of clear coat you using for it.

Jumbo · « **Reply #26 on:** October 26, 2009, 04:30:48 PM »

Just be careful with clear coat and the buttons. They might get too big and not fit into the controller.

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #27 on:** October 26, 2009, 04:43:19 PM »

Yea i had to sand mine down after the clear coat got on it. Thats why i was wondering what kind hes using.

alman101 · « **Reply #28 on:** October 26, 2009, 05:45:32 PM »

i was gonna put 2 light coats of tremclad on everything...

Blazinkaos · « **Reply #29 on:** October 26, 2009, 05:59:41 PM »
