I was thinking today at school after i was done using an Electronics Trainer kit called NIDA. The NIDA trainer kit get you involved with Everything in electronics from simple ohms law, troubleshooting, AC, Digital, Analog, and much more.

Well Why can't there be a trainer that can't be easily broken to help people mod stuff for a gaming console?

There can be several versions of the trainer kit:
PS3
Xbox360
PSP
Wii
PS2
Xbox

There can include 1 controller motherboard (probably mounted on plywood) and breadboard glued to the plywoood wires, 555 timers CMOS chip sets, a PLC controller, a power supply, resistors, LEDs, and capacitors.

Throw your Ideas out there.

nice idea... i thought of something similar to this......

A modder handbook.

do several versions ie.

360/ps3/psp/wii and so on.........

just have basic tutorials, guides, tips and tricks in each 1

and have some sort of 5 star difficulty rating for each mod in the books.....

possibly e-books....

YeaH i might someday make a pdf on how to do stuff in the simplest and cheapest way possible because i have seen too many people throw a $50 PLC or Pic Micro controller to light a few LEDs for a fade effect or something simple like that; when you only need simple knowledge of electronics and only $1.00 worth of parts.

honestly i think thats why i want to make a kit like this. a modder's handbook, as you said, to help people save some time and money then gain a few points here and there.

we have tried several times in the past to write an ebook and what has always happened is everyone in R&D have been like yeh thats a great idea then as soon as it comes to actually do the work no one has really progressed and done some work

akomismo01 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 30, 2009, 06:14:29 PM »

maybe someone can heLp volunteer?.. an expert with eLectronics? i think it should be better if a thread will be created by mods like "VOLUNTEER FOR THE ACIDMOD BOOK PROJECT".. and of course credit them for each contribution so that they wiLL be inspired.. i think..

This weekend before school starts i will throw together an electronics 101 coarse about mods by myself because i'm pretty much an expert myself. Mactastic Mendez and akomismo01 nailed it right on the head, i don't think anyone else has the ethic to write an article/handbook/ebook. Nether do i but its time to recruit ppl to help.

I have made a simple cover and contents with an intro then maybe we could go from there

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #12 on:** February 20, 2010, 07:27:03 PM »

I am working on the meat and bones for this project. I have to work out each circuit and each mod to be sure that it works 100%.

For each mod i have to think of ways the mod may break to give troubleshooting advice.

Once the projects have been completed they have to be compiled via difficulty and mod type.

So Far I'm working on...
- Parts list
- Schematics under serious development
- Beginner bread boarding Tutorials
- Working on making the PS3's Xbox360's Nintendo controller's motherboard "indestructible"
- Easy plug 'n' play USB PIC Programmer integration
- easy 1 2 3 ebook

Some of this is hush hush for now. I'm cool with questions I'll answer anything you need to get some stuff flowing.

and as Fookz mentioned some of this is hush hush... we are trying to compile it all in the secret RnD area (this is only visable to the RnD team and our global and Admin departments) but be assured this progect is underway... slowly but surely....
