TP Point List for NEW Dualshock Controller

[blackburn]

On the MSU_V3.5X 1.12 the TP spots are..

TP1 - 5v (USB connector)
TP2 - D-
TP3 - D+
TP4,5,6 and 7 - GND
TP17 - COM1 (Common line for all buttons on the left of the controller, D-pad and L1/2)
TP18 - COM2 (Common line for all buttons on the right of the controller, [ ], X, O, /\ and R1/2)
TP24 - PS (Home button)
TP25 - Start
TP26 - R3
TP27 - L3
TP28 - Select
TP30 - [ ]
TP31 - X
TP32 - O
TP33 - /\
TP34 - R1
TP35 - R2
TP37 - L1
TP38 - L2
TP39 - DL
TP40 - DD
TP41 - DR
TP42 - DU
TP51 - LED + as well as the other line for the PS button (TP24 + TP51 is PS)

L3, R3, Select and Start all share a Common line, COM3, which has no TP spot. That line has to be hit at a Via or trace, which is odd since the older versions of Six-Axis controllers have a TP spot for it.



These were found by RDC of XbS, and were confirmed by me!!   

Have Fun

Sounds good, thanks for the info! I was getting nervous because people may be using this type of motherboard for the Rapid Fire Mod and it has yet to be documented.

[blackburn]

Here are the list of TP spots on the PS3 controllers, the most useful ones anyway, for anyone that would want to make up an Arcade Stick, add an extra button or something similar.

Of the 15 versions of these controllers, that I know of, there are (so far anyway) 6 different TP layouts for them. These are a general pic of the different layouts, what controller version they're on and what they do.

NOTE: All of the TP spots are NOT shown in these pics, this is just for reference so you can tell which controller you have at a glance and what TP spots are what on that version of controller.

These are for the USB Connector and they are the same on all versions of board.

TP1 - 5v
TP2 - D-
TP3 - D+
TP4 - Ground


This is for the older Six-Axis controllers.

Any of the MSUPP 4.0 versions that have the 3 legged POTs. The TP spots may or may not be tinned with solder also.



TP10 - V (Common Line for Home button)

TP17 - COM 1 (Common Line for D-pad and L1/2)
TP18 - COM 2 (Common Line for X, /\, [ ], O and R1/2)

TP26 - PS (Home Button)
TP27 - Start
TP28 - R3 (Stick button)
TP29 - L3 (Stick button)
TP30 - Select
TP31 - X
TP32 - R1
TP33 - R2
TP34 - L1
TP35 - DL (D-pad Left)

TP37 - [ ]
TP38 - O
TP39 - /\

TP41 - L2
TP42 - DD (D-pad Down)
TP43 - DR (D-pad Right)
TP44 - DU (D-pad Up)

TP60 - COM 3 (Common Line for Select, Start, L3 and R3)



This is for the newer Six-Axis, with the 4 legged POTs, as well as the older version of DualShock 3.
