I'm wondering if there is a way to hook up a momentary push button to a controller so that it will work as the B button. I wanted it for quick drop shotting. If there is a tut on this, I apologize, I couldn't find it. A link to one would be nice.

There is a way and there is a tut vid in a thread when I asked for something simular.

NOTE: the vid isnt mine and I didnt make it.

I think that this could work well for Knifing in MW2 as well - I've always used the tactical layout myself (not that I dropshot that much anyway) But this could be useful for an alternative knife button so I don't have to remove my finger or thumb from the trigger or stick respectively.

Hey thanks guys. I found a way to do it via another method, but it replaces the B button because the cords would interfere with the pad, so thanks for finding this.

The wire doesnt interfere.

If hte wires are thin enough, you should be able to use them, just make sure they are quite flat on the board.

smithy141 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 06, 2010, 10:28:54 AM »

30 awg kynar wire will be fine for that.

AlexWIWA · « **Reply #7 on:** July 06, 2010, 09:09:55 PM »

I use IDE computer cable. It's quite thin and easily playable.

What was the other method alex....

Modded Matt · « **Reply #9 on:** July 07, 2010, 04:56:52 AM »

button relocationis one of the first simplest mods for these controllers. the video above shows how it could be done by an amature modder. a profesional would never scrape the button pads unless they were never going to be used again. follow the trace from the black pads, solder to either the trace, or the via. one wire goes to the trace and the other goes to ground for CG controllers.

you can use any of the red circled points in this pic for the + b button, the other side of your push button will go to ground.

Will this work for matrix controllers aswell???

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #11 on:** July 07, 2010, 05:53:59 AM »

Same principle... just follow the trace

Thanks Matt. I got the rapid fire from your tut to work as well. You are a very helpful person.

smithy141 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:11:09 AM »

ok ill try that, also would you be able to put a wire from the left trigger and a wire from the right trigger and put it to one tact switch to allow you to quickscope like viking360s mod?

Modded Matt · « **Reply #14 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:18:03 AM »

in therory, the problem is timing, if you wire both triggers to one switch when you press that switch it will activate both triggers at once. I am not sure how the viking software works, but I would assume that it has a milisecond pause between activating the left trigger then the right trigger. on CG the triggers need to have voltage applied to the center pin to fire (oposite of the face buttons)

if you want to test it, see how the tact switch has four posts, two on each side? one side is for each trigger dont cross them. one pin goes to center, and the other goes to top of the trigger points.

did that make since or do I need to draw it?

smithy141 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2010, 11:20:44 AM »

Yes it makes sence but a drawing would be even more helpful if thats ok.thanks

also what do you meen by center would you be able to show me on a image?

HiddenVenom · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2010, 03:04:50 PM »

There are three pins for each trigger, three on the left, three on the right of the board. Matt is talking about these.

smithy141 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 08, 2010, 02:19:23 AM »

yh ino that but i was wondering wat he ment by center dont he meen the middle pin of these or does he meen in the center of the board for ground?

Modded Matt · « **Reply #18 on:** July 08, 2010, 04:29:36 AM »

center of the three trigger pins. the trigger is a potonimiter, the center pin is the wiper or input if you will.

smithy141 · « **Reply #19 on:** July 08, 2010, 05:11:04 AM »

ok thanks ill try that and also if the timing was wrong what would i use as a delay?

Modded Matt · « **Reply #20 on:** July 08, 2010, 05:15:25 AM »

it would need to be coded to a pic. posibly a 555 timer or combination of timers.

smithy141 · « **Reply #21 on:** July 08, 2010, 05:17:17 AM »

ok cool, what will i need to program onto the pic or 555 timer

AlexWIWA · « **Reply #22 on:** July 09, 2010, 07:43:23 AM »

search ebay for the pic programmer.

smithy141 · « **Reply #23 on:** July 09, 2010, 09:27:38 AM »

No i dont need a programmer ive got that i just need to no what to program on to a pic for the delay. but i think i can use a 555 timer

rafaliyo86 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 09, 2010, 10:07:18 AM »

If you dont want to program you should use timer 555. its doesnt need to be programmed

smithy141 · « **Reply #25 on:** July 09, 2010, 02:35:29 PM »

oh ok thanks for the info!

Modded Matt · « **Reply #26 on:** July 09, 2010, 04:30:01 PM »

I am sure you can work it out if you will put the time into learning the componant. This should be achevable through 555timers, or combination of. look into 555's and flipflops

It can also be done with a programed chip without the timers and other componants if you can write the code.

smithy141 · « **Reply #27 on:** July 10, 2010, 01:26:27 AM »

Ok thanks matt will this timer work? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-x-555-timer-IC-NE555-/290448160360?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item43a00f3668
