Brook ufb in madcatz te2+

Tech Talk

Does anyone have experience wiring brook ufb into madcatz te2+ ?

I have installed it a few days ago and managed to wire up existing usb cable to the board, ps button, all sanwa buttons and joystick. (btw. I did not solder anything directly onto the board, I used connectors for both sides and just soldered the wires together, seemed much safer than accidentally frying the ufb. (Heat shrink rubber tubing was very helpful for this)

I wanted to ask if anyone has managed to successfully connect the l3 and r3 buttons? It doesn’t look like there are any GRND connections for these buttons on the madcatz?There is a VCC and a bunch of LED connections in the same group but no ground?

Any info would be helpful.

The TE2+ is common-ground.
They’re all the same ground.

Thanks for the quick reply. Does the ufb have a common ground too since the l3 r3 tp have a separate ground on the ufb.

Yep.
I’d like to say that very few arcade PCBs nowadays AREN’T common ground, but don’t quote me on that. Some retail ones might still be weird, and I don’t know them all off-hand.

I can pretty much say, though, that all aftermarket/custom PCBs for arcade sticks ARE common ground.

Thank you. L3 and R3 are all wired up and working now. It’s so nice having R3 for restarting SFV trials. Thanks!
