Brook PS3/PS4 "Fightboard" PCB Thread

[Vicko]

Your D+ still looks like it’s barely hanging on but if a new cable and a multimeter say otherwise, it could be the voltage regulator.
check voltage on J5 pin 1 or U3, should be 3.3v
if it’s lower than that you need to replace

dont quite understand what do u mean. Where is j5 pin?
and how to measure voltage there?

use a multimeter

Excellent video guide.
I did notice (from many of the post in this thread) people updating Brook Products for the first time needs to let Windows install the drivers for the hardware before attempting the update.

well, guys, i have to admit, that this soldering may not look very perfect, but it is sufficient. PCB was working for some time, so soldering is ok, pcb wasnt thrown, pcb and wires were not affected with destroying power or something like that. It was working, then after 2-3 hours of rest with no forces affecting it, it stopped working. So, really, is there any chance, that solder disappeared from some spots making pcb not-working? think not

@Darksakul so, de-soldering is still possible? u advice me to completely de-solder it, then solder USB-wire in a more proper way and to check PCB for workability?

Did you watched any of the videos I provided?

Yes, i Did
and here is the result, we`ve made some improvements
we slightly resoldered pcb
checked usb multiple times, even tried another one usb-wire
everything WAS cheked with multimeter from the very beginning
and no working still

Take a look at your soldering pads on your board. See how the solder only bubbles around the wiring and does not WET the pads on the board.
While the solder is still liquid it should wet the pads on the board.

Here is a example of both good and bad solder joints.

Good solder joints look like little volcanoes

On your board, it looks like you are applying the solder to the iron and not the board, the flux resin core in the solder never gets in and does it job.
If you apply the solder to the iron, the resin gets cooked off. You need the iron to heat up both the pad and the wire as you introduce solder to the otherside and let the resin flux and heat do the work for you.
And be careful, the more you work that joint the more stress and heat you apply to the pad. Too much heat and stress and you can damage the board.

You might want to practice on some scrap before counting.

I hope that makes it more clear to you.

I’ve had little practice on soldering and can do a clean job. But man… That’s some terrible soldering you got there. You’re lucky if Brook will offer you a new board. I would not offer you a new board after seeing how badly you’ve butchered the soldering job. Looks like you didn’t even use any flux.

use FLUX, it’s like using lube. it’s magical

Is the Brook fighting board support headset and ds4 battery ?

@nomatter03
Not support two functions.

[nomatter03]

It s bad for me . I purchased the fb two days ago . Is there anyway to use headset with my stick ?

[aszyd]

Looking at their install docs, the pin outs do not show anything related to audio support.

So there is no way to use headset . Thanks

Bluetooth/USB/different controller

Is there a possible way to fix the board problem with updating while having an imp/crossbone installed? It’s a pain to have to solder a usb cable and buttons just to update the board everytime I need to. Plus inconvenient for sticks I’ve modded q-q

Get a PS4 compatible Audio to USB adapter.

Works flawlessly in and out of the PS menu on PS4. Once in game, none of the actual buttons (1P-4P, 1K-4K) or the Stick work. The Share, PS, and start work fine. Updated with latest firmware. Which, by the way, you can’t select any of the firmware updates in the ENGLISH language, had to switch languages.

@Driftingsort

1. Run App
2. Press PS + Share, then board plugged in USB port.
3. Please waiting at first time
4. Update enable to do.

Please look the video file to re-try in other USB Port.

is there any tutorial out jet with a dual mod, when even possible?
x360 stick with this pcb?

[Vicko]

wire the inputs together and find something to split the usb
