Brook PS3/PS4 "Fightboard" PCB Thread

Seeing as I’ve got my Fightboard in the Gen 1 TE, before I strip it and get the soldering iron out, is it possible to wire the active for the turbo and guide buttons to the L3 button and do the same for back and start for R3?

This will then essentially give me everything I need for the next gen console… Brook has already made the touch pad functionality available through tp_key + dpad so Im just wondering if I could wire up two buttons to make l3/r3

Anyone done that mod?

Not sure I understand, but you want T+G=L3 and B+S=R3?

You’d need some kind of gate to achieve that but it can be done.

Yeah pretty much. I’m just thinking the old PS360 could press start and select to replicate the home button (I’m guessing that’s done via programming on the pcb?)

I thought by simply putting the two active lines of T+G to the single active of L3 it could be done - but my knowledge of electronics is limited, I simply read the guides :slight_smile:

S+S=H is actually a function of the PS360+ already.

First paragraph.

If you wire the turbo and guide buttons together, you will be activating all 3 buttons at once. Not going to work like you want. You will need to make a circuit with a NAND gate to achieve what you want.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t think it’d be possible

Oh damn that breakout board seems legit. The site should be back up today. Gonna be refreshing my shit and order one asap if they are restocked.

@GOGO.Zippy Can you please send me the beta file, X input with my Windows 10 64bit PC isnt working.

As someone who doesn’t know how to solder and is planning on installing this via the breakout board with the screw terminals, do I need the home button? If I do I could sacrifice a KKK/PPP button for it right?

I don’t actually own a PS4 as I’m mainly a PC player, is the home button necessary to activate the stick or can I do without it? I don’t wanna bring this stick to a tournament and get screwed by not having home button functionality.

The Home/PS button is necessary on PS4 because you have to Sign In by pressing it after you plug in the stick.

Thought so. It was recommended to me that I wire a PPP/KKK button to home if I didn’t want to do any soldering. Is there any alternative way to do it?

@Dashum also need the home and share button to update the firmware on the pcba.

isn’t there a screw terminal for home? Which breakout do you have?

Paradise arcade. There is I believe

EDIT: I’ve decided to wire select to KKK and home to select as I find select to be a much less intrusive button if I happen to press it by accident.

which stick are you using?

which measures for the screw terminal?

The Screw terminal pitch? Or the size of Screws? and why do you need to know that?

i wanna solder the screw terminal to have an easy access to any points but i need to know the distance between a hole and other.

I forgot which ones, but not all the holes are the same pitch.
I think @“Jasen Hicks” said some of the holes spacing are non-standard in measurement.

it might be easier to include connectors in the middle of your wiring then to solder terminals or headers directly to the board.
