Title: Rumble mod on MS led
Post by: Ben93 on November 05, 2009, 05:04:23 PM
Hi guys

Can someone confirm if I solder the positive side of the rumble motor at this 5V spot:

(https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi57.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fg219%2Fl0rdnic0%2FPower-1-1.png&hash=42f0799907d6df65d496ef54fae7d8fb71e9eb4e)

and the negative side to somewhere else on the motherbord (suggestions please?) the rumble motor will work when the MS led flickers = when files are loading?

Thanks

I've send you a PM ;)

But I'll also ask it here:

Which side of the motor should i solder to e.g. the X or the L-trigger (can't find the spot for the R-trigger, would be better) and where should i solder the other side to?

tnx

EDIT: Got some help over PM and came up to this


I tried soldering to the X, but then X doesn't work anymore, it only makes the motor rumble, but doesn't affect the PSP.

Eventually, i found a sollution to make it rumble when the L-trigger is pressed. With a needle, i've made a small hole in the plastic above the pcb in the line to the trigger and put my kynar negative in there. Now he continiously rumbles very soft, but when the l-trigger is pressed, you can feel it rumble very well. The only thing that's left is putting in a switch.

I also had to bridge the fuse of the ms led because it was melted. The ms led is now 3 times brighter so it will melt eventually, but we'll se.

EDIT2: crap, stupid me

I was testing my new mod with motorstorm and guess what? The l-trigger only works as input when rumble is deactivated. Damn, should have known that. Luckily I built in a swtich. Swtich turned on => rumble, swtich turned off => psp input.

I'm sorry fot the bump and double post, but does somebady know if there is a way to use a button to activate rumble and still use it as psp input? Without programming a chip?

tnx
