There’s only a zillion guides on modding a 7 year old stick, just gotta look

I tried looking for a pinout guide for the Round one TEs to no avail. At least not for using it on the Brooks. For example, to get the RS, DP, and LS toggle you have to wire up 4 connections to the Brooks. 1 for the RS, 1 for the LS, and 2 for the DP. On the back of the TE PCB there are 6 contact points for the toggle. 4 are grouped together and 2 are separate. I did not find a guide telling me which ones to use and had to resolder a couple times after testing. I tried googling madcatz TE pcb pinout but couldn’t find any info on that specific pcb. Also slagcoin didn’t have a guide on it.

Please use SP-3T switch to connect with UFB

You only need 2 connections, one for RS and one for LS. If you’re switched to DP you’re not connected to either and the board defaults to DP.

Also I assume you’re using a PS3 TE because the turbo panel is labeled on the 360 version.

Yup, that’s what I mean. Also, why would the Brooks pamphlet have 2 pinouts for the DP ? In what cases would that apply?

[Jasen_Hicks]

The two middle pins are ground. When the LS or RS pin on the mcu is connected to GND the appropriate output is set. If neither sense GND, the board stays in DP mode.

It makes using common switches (4 pole, 3 throw) far easier.

I see, thanks for the info. It was very informative and helpful.

What is the wire layout for the xbox 360 madcatz te2 home button wiring I’m trying to connect the stock home button to the Brook universal board and can’t figure out what wire on the ribbon cable corresponds to what.

Use your multimeter

@vicko I don’t have access to one at the momment

Then why are you modding lol

Lemme go dig mine up and I guess I’ll do this community some more service.

Due to the help of the awesome people in this thread, the wiring and soldering is complete! If I want to connect the turbo button, I need to get terminal block/wire thing for the tpkey. Several quesitons:

1. When soldering I placed the ground and home button on the UFB terminal block. But when I finally get around to soldering the turbo button to the tpkey, will I also need a second ground for the tpkey and use the ground near the tpkey (that also needs to be soldered?) This may sound confusing, but usually all buttons both need a ground, so I was wondering if I can use the same ground I have for the home button for the tpkey(turbo) button.

2. Anyone know where I can acquire a terminal wire block thingy for the tpkey? I wanna not solder a wire directly on the UFB and would rather have disconnects of some kind to ease maintenance.

Everyone, thank you so much for all your help, its almost done!

P.S.: Still waiting on sanwa stick/seimitsu buttons from japan.

Cheers!

1. Since you already ran a ground to the turbo panel, that’s all you need. The whole board is grounded so any button or whatever now has a corresponding ground. Just need to solder a wire for the button signals.
2. Just solder to the board, why would you need to maintain it? The only reason you would have to remove it is to move the board to another stick, in which case you can just cut or desolder the wire and resolder. Don’t make extra work/cost for yourself just to install one block lol

If the pink wire is 1, pin 6 is home and pin 7 (last) is ground.

@vicko thank you so much I really appreciate it

If I directly solder the turbo button to the board, if I ever need to remove the stick I am fubared. Hence, for maintenance reasons. Thank you for your information on the ground, that saves a bit of extra work!

How are you FUBARed? Just desolder or cut it like I said! You’re not welding it. Solder can be desoldered.

I totally see your point, but you dont understand how solderly illiterate I am…so looking for a done once and never again solution bc Im getting a friend to solder for me and I don’t want to bug him every time I want to change the spring in the stick or do various maintenance (switch out stick, whatever). Thank you again for your thoughts!

IE: I have access to a university and its engineering soldering area, so soldering is not a problem bc they are experts over there…its just finding the right parts without bothering them too much.

Can we expect the SOCD cleaner fix soon?
