I dug around my parts and found an older RF module, ill give it a whirl and see where i go with it. hopefully its smooth sailing from here. Thanks yous guys! Almost five years for me and the AM community is still always there for you.
EDIT:
So I have been using 2N3906 and ran into a problem. When I sync and have one controller on, both P1 and P2 (xbox is horizontally) are lit up. Having controller 1 and 2 on, P1 and P2 lit up. With controllers 1, 2, 3 on I get all lights on.
@Phantomz, When you were doing your mimic, what transistor did you use? and did you ever get it to fully work?
THanks
