I was thinking PAS, but I’ll get stung on shipping to the UK (and that’s assuming I don’t get hit with duty fees) so it looks like I’ll be buying from ArcadeWorldUK. Solder won’t be an issue - I’ve got an electrician friend who built his own supergun, and he’s willing to help me the next time I visit. I’m just not sure what the process would be to add connections - screw ins would be great, like all the basic connections it already has, but I can’t find that part in a 2mm pitch online,
In regards to the soldering for the USB cable. Can’t I just get an A-B USB cable going straight from the board to the console? I’ll of course make a loop and bolt it to the inside of the stick.
yes of course, that’s why that USB mount is on the fightboard in the first place. soldering USB cables would be to reuse pre-existing cables inside a fightstick, etc.
@ DJ Divine. Thanks for clarifying that for me. I was confused on why everyone was soldering when you can get a 10 ft cable on Amazon for 6 bucks. Thanks again!!
The buttons and joystick wiring is easy to swap over, just cut (or replace if you want it to be reversible) you might have to splice or solder the wiring for the guide panel and USB cable.
I will have limited internet access for the next couple of days, about to start modding my case to throw a brook board in it. Should be coming in today, quick question, besides my 6 action buttons, will i only need 3 additional buttons, start, select, home? Or will it be ideal to add another button or two that the newer systems might need. I have 5 24mm buttons i can use total, so if its a good idea or will save me trouble in the future please lmk.
thanks
If you know how to solder there are additional buttons you can access such as touch panel and l3. Touch panel is used for various things like button config in sf4 and l3 is used to reset in training mode in sfv.
I just bought the brooks ufb and I’m having a custom case made for all additional buttons. I plan on having L3, R3, & touch key on the right side of my case followed by start, select, home & rapid fire on the top front of the stealth 7 case. I also plan on incorporating a sp3t switch to be able to switch the joystick from dpad, Ls anologe & Rs anologe. Love the versatility of the brooks chip. I’m going solderless but I had to buy a second foehammer harness to accommodate the extra 7 buttons.
