Rumble mod on MS led

[Ben93]

Hi guys

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



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

the rumble motor wnt rumble when files are recieving or loading from rite there. that 5v point is always active. but a good idea that i was trying to do bt never finished that u can try is make it rumble when u press a button like the x button, triangle, circle and so on. pm me for more info. oh and almost forgot WELCOME TO THE SITE!

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.

tnx
