Modding a controller?
« on: April 26, 2010, 01:48:10 PM »
Hey guys

Ok i really need your help and also could you please if you can explain it that i can understand (noob) lol

Ok i got three controllers here one is a matrix the other one is a CG and last one is a CG2 ok the CG2 controller i changed the stock led to different ones but now i want to add led to the abxy and the start and back buttons and the LB and RB etc.. All those controllers are wireless.

(I started learning about a week ago)


So i was reading this guide
https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,33937.0.html

I dont mind soldering but i need to know where to solder and stuff like that but i didnt get this breadboard thing.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280483697731&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_1281wt_1165

All i want to do is add led to ABXY buttons and the Dome and start and back buttons and the LB,LT,RB,RT

Aslo what is it with thise voltage and resistors i dont get what they for?

Sorry if none of this make sense its hard to explain lol.

Thanks hope you can help me.

You dont exactly need the breadboard, it just keeps things clean.  You can go to radioshack and by a little breadboard for a couple bucks.

So if i dont buy a breadboard how do i follow those guide then because its saying solder the wire to the breadboard. Thanks for helping and im in the UK no radioshack by me lol. Also do you use a breadboard?

Ya, i use a bread board because it keeps things clean.  The only wires that are being soldered to the bread board are the + and - wires.

Is there a pacific one to buy or? also when you finished soldering the breadboard and you going to do a led mod like for ABXY buttons your got wires coming off them do you solder them in any hole on the breadboard or not if you know what i mean. Thanks again.

You can get any kind of breadboard, they have them on ebay.  What you want to do is choose 1 side of holes to be for your + wires and choose the other side for your - wires.
Lets say your bread board is laying sideways and you choose to use 2 rows of holes, 4 holes on each row. It will look like this,

1234 - these are your holes for + wires
5678 - these are your holes for - wires

After you decide which holes you want for + and - wires, your gonna solder 1 wire from the + side of holes to a positive solder point, and then solder 1 wire from the - side of holes to a ground point.
