well you can install the pic in a pic socket so its removable... or you could be cheap like me and just remove the chip and clean the legs up so you can re-flsh it with code updates.... either way it'll work fine and you can still flash it..
or you could connect 5 wires to the necessary pins, run them out to a breadboard and program in circuit...
Hey buick could you post a photo of your controller with the icsp socket? thank you and sorry for the off topic
I have it all back together now, but I can tell ya how I did it I got my inspiration/stolen idea from RDC at X-S here: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=691809&st=15http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f320/RDCXBG/CGnome/USB.jpghttp://www.cgnome.com/assembly%20pics/Shell%20Mod.JPGhttp://www.cgnome.com/assembly%20pics/CGn%20Overlay.JPGParts used:Small scrap piece of perfboard ( http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pRS1C-2265183w345.jpg ) Mini USB Female ( like in a camera, cell phone ) mines from a moto razor5 pieces of 30g hookup wire (dif colors help allot)Hot glue, and more hot glue(look at this pic then read below)http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL826/4336175/23002157/383305290.jpg1. Figured out where the usb jack was going to go. (thx jamz_az & RDC)2. Grind down square under the place the USB will go (A in pic) might not need it, but I didn’t want it pressing into the controller board3. Grind tit off inside of controller (B in pic) to make room for the perfboard4. Cut/drill hole for USB (pic C) to stick out of the controller (MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET A CABLE PLUGED INTO IT W/O THE SHELL IN THE WAY)5. Cut Perf board into |_| shape for the usb jack to fall into (this peice is just so I could use less glue and not worry about pushing the plug into the controller by accident later)6. Temp glue the jack to the perf (AWAY FROM THE PINS), then glue the perf to the controller7. Wire your chip end first... you need 5 wires... PINS 1,4,6,7,88. Neatly route the wires close to the chip (By the rumble motor jack) and just dab a glue them so you don’t pull um off. Then twist them into a cable.9. Cut them about 4 inches too long (so you can open and close the SOB10. Solder to your USB Jack (Note: If you’re using a USB cable (not making your own) 1 wire will need to be the shield b/c USB only has 4 wires inside + the shield/ground, I just soldered it to one of the tabs)That’s it, check with a probe or multimeter. Then glue the hell out of the top of the usb & perf so it doesn’t short against the controller board or move. Also glue your wires about 1/4 “ from the jack (Incase you need to remove it)Hope this helps, if not just ask
