Yah I missed this one too, nice work Matt.I hear that the X1 controller is better for lighting mods since it has an available regulated voltage rail rather than one that fluctuates with battery charge.
Did you used white 3mm leds to not put resistors ?They can be wired when getting the ground and positive from the same pints as the Seth's 9 mode rapid fire mod a he used the positive from somewhere else.
The xbox one controller has three onboard voltage regulators, each of different output voltage that supply clean constant power in values of 3.0, 3.3 and even 3.5V.
The 3.0v Reg only runs when the USB cable is plugged up. When running off of batteries only the 3.3v and 3.5v Regs work. That 3.0v source then becomes whatever the battery pack's voltage is. If using the PnC pack it will stay ~3v as that's what it's output is, but if using AA batteries it will vary with whatever their voltage is.
If you have no specs for the LED, then you'll need to guess what it's rating is based on the color.Red - Amber 1.9v to 2.2vGreen - 2.2v to 3vBlue - 3v to 3.3vWhite - 3v to 4vAlways start Low with the voltage and especially the current rating, around 5mA so you don't burn them up quickly, and around 20mA max as that's probably about all those are rated for.So say you had Blue LEDs, use 3v and 5mA. Then if you use the 3.3v source in the controller, you'd need a 68ohm 1/8w or larger (1/4w) Resistor. It's most likely not going to be bright at 5mA, or might not even light at all, but then you just go to a higher current rating and try again, so 3v and 10mA you would need a 33ohm Resistor.Those are just ball park guesses as there are always LEDs that will fall outside of those specs and why it's always best to have the actual specs from the manufacture.Use an online LED calculator, unless you want to get into the math of it all and learn that, but you're better off having the real specs of the LED before doing that so all of the math makes more sense.Single LED - http://led.linear1.org/1led.wizMultiple LEDs - http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz
For my main connections, I tapped into J5 and J6 connectors on the joystick board. J5 gave the sinc button signal @ pin 6 ane ground @ pin 14. J6 provided a switched 3.3V power at pin 4.

I finally made some LED Mods for my controllers.Took me a lil while to wait on the Clear Thumb Sticks but did it.Mic port thought it looked kool i guess i also used TopBuzz LED Code.I mainly used 0805 SMDsSorry for the images been Huge...
you have posted two different mods. The X button mod is just changing out the 0605 LED. The stick mod is prolly the same SMD leds mounted at each corner of the stick housing. I have also used 3.5mm LEDs for this as well. wire it to the controller points as posted in the pinned post.
