Thank you @GOGO.Zippy but I actually bought it used and the damage was done by the previous owner.

He says everything but 4P works (including system switching) so I plan on using it for a 6 button vewlix.

If youā€™re really keen on making use of 4P then I suggest you use a copper wire like this

first put some solder on the end of the copper wire (like how to dip something in a sauce), then just use the soldering iron to solder the wire on that point. In this way you wont damage any points and wont smear solder all over the place.

Good find but please donā€™t use uninsulated wire.

1244

Its doesnt pass current unless solder is on the wire but yea to be on the safe side use cautiously.

Hi guys I got a question, Iā€™m interesting on installing the Player leds on my already ordered Brook UFB so I would like to know if I can use 3mm leds directly or do I need a resistance for each of the 4 leds?

By the way Iā€™m upgrading from a PS360+ that unfortunately doesnā€™t works as XInput (Xbox 360 mode) on PC, at least only works with a very short cable (less than 1 meter).

Thanks.

Thanks

You can probably get away with direct soldering but you need to make sure they donā€™t need resistors. If so, then add them inline.

I made a (long) video showing how to mod a VS from start to finish, including player LEDs and keeping the lock switch intact.

1248

Perfect! I wasnā€™t planning on doing the LEDs, but this should give me a good guide :slight_smile:

Iā€™m literally just waiting for my UFB to do this mod :slight_smile:

Thank you.

Not true, electrical current passes the path of least resistance.
It current does not care if a wire is soldered, crimped, clapped or just laying in place, only if there is resistance or in our case insulation is there or not.

Does the UFB have auto-detect for consoles? My stick is configured as 6-button, so it wonā€™t have a 4P to press when I plug it into an XBone.

1251

Yes.

1252

Thank you for actually answering my question, and not just stating the obvious hahaha.

Now that I know where it is, I might just follow the trace a bit and scrape it up gently with an exacto so I can solder away from the actual chip and not risk making a blob :S

I bought and installed my Brooks UFB about a week a go and have been playing without incident on the PS4 until the most recent update (Playstation 3.50 System Update) that I downloaded about thirty minutes ago. Iā€™ve got two eight minute time outs, and then again after eight minutes I have no control but Iā€™m caught in the back walk animation as if that input is being registered. Unplugging my controller and immediately plugging it in resets the eight minutes timer.

Was there a firmware update addressing this? I have not had to download anything for my PCB at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

1254

3.50 came out yesterday. Brook is working on a FW Patch, some folks are testing it now.

1255

@Click5 like @ā€œJasen Hicksā€ to speak. Brook will release a patch file to fix timeout on 3.50 , maybe tomorrow. Keep in touch.

1256

Thanks for the info! Did a quick scan of this thread and didnā€™t see anything being mentioned, so I wanted to say something incase I missed this being addressed already. Not trying to be rude :slight_smile:

1257

Field testing the new firmware now guysā€¦ So far so goodā€¦ It should be on schedule to post on brooks download site tomorrow. Hang tightā€¦

1258

I think it is amazing that you guys are working on fixes so quickly. Thanks for your work!

1259

Really amazing work guys

For the moment we can do a quick disconnect and connect
