I got my pre-soldered Brook + EZ mod from AS today. I thought the install seemed easy as advertised, but neither my PS3 or PC are recognizing the up, down, left, right, or lp inputs. Everything else works and is recognized by PS3 and PC. I’ve updated to the v1.4 firmware successfully and my PC identifies the stick as an xbone controller.
Based on all these things, I think it would have to be a connection issue for those inputs. But, my modding capabilities are pretty limited which is why I got the EZ mod in the first place. I will take any pictures people would find helpful, hopefully by this weekend. In the meantime though, any suggestions I can try without disassembling it again would be appreciated.
Please take pictures of your install. This is the first issue with the EZ MOD I have been made aware of. What do you get when you open joy.cpl and test it in windows joystick controller? Did you get everything plugged in nice and tight? Does it work on PS4 or XBONE?
Okay, I took some pictures. They’re herein this imgur album. Apologies for quality, I tried to just get a shot of it all put together and in place, plus some close-ups of the board. If anything is too unclear, just tell me and I can try to take a better shot. Hopefully you guys can spot some boneheaded thing I did to make an easy mod difficult
In joy.cpl, everything but my stick and lp button (which is button 3 on the joy.cpl layout) register. A couple of the buttons register as Z-axis inputs, but I saw someone mention that earlier as not being a problem. Jasen, I don’t have a PS4 or XB1 to test on, I probably won’t get one until fall when the newer models are out. I did put everything back together and re-install after taking these pictures, making sure everything was as snug as possible, but I still had the same issue. I’ve also tried flipping between PS3 and PS4 on the stick, and DP and LS, but same results. I’ve tried forcing PS3/4/xb360/x1 but that also has no effect, except for what joy.cpl identifies the controller as. Mr. Caesar, I’m not sure what you mean, but if you can see the issue from my pictures please let me know.
Well, it all “looks” properly setup. The PS3/PS4 switch doesnt do anything btw, its electrically disconnected with the EZ MOD. Here’s one way to try that makes this point direct to the EZ MOD board or the UFB. If you can find a piece of wire plug one end into the GND screw terminal on the UFB and then one into either the UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT and see if that registers anything. If it doesn’t, its the UFB. If it does, its likely the EZ MOD board. Once you do that, an RMA with AS should be straight forward.
Jasen, I wired ground directly to up like you suggested and it looks like the Brook Board is not the source of the problem, so there’s some issue going from the EZ board to the UFB. I guess I’ll get in touch with AS about swapping it out. Thanks so much for your help, and I hope your deployment goes well.
I have a huge problem.
When I plug in the Brook Universal Fighting Board into my computer I get an instant Bluescreen!
WTF!
I tested long cables, I tested short cables. Problem persists.
I uninstalled every driver in any relation with Xbox One Controllers. Problem persists.
I booted Windows into the safe mode. Problem persists.
I also tested other Xbox One controllers, and tested both cables with a PS360+. Had no issues with those controllers.
I’m sure, that the board isn’t broken. I tested it on my Laptop, and it works fine there.
It would be awesome, if you guys could help me fix this issue on my Desktop. My Laptop isn’t much of a gaming machine.
I run Windows 7 SP1 on my Desktop.
hmm any suggestions for what I should do if my update utilities are telling me my USB drivers are up to date?
just tested the stick and it works fine on my Win10 laptop and PS4, but it instantly bluescreens my desktop (win7 64bit) even after I did the firmware update on the stick which afaik fixed this bug for some other people.
I’m looking for ways to force a USB update right now, but in case I can’t find any would booting my stick in a different mode possibly help?
@TMNTemps
The UFB ran as Xbox one controller on PC in.automatic mode, you must to install Xbox one controller for PC driver on Win7/8.
So my suggestion is used the force 360 mode on PC.
Please press 3P to set 360 mode then plugged in USB on PC.
I still got the BSOD that way - it would just die the instant I plugged in the stick.
I used the USB 3.0 eXtensionable controller thingy they have hosted here, which made it so all my USBs only worked in the BIOS and not in Windows. To fix that I had to go into my BIOS settings and change the xCHI and ECHI settings. They were defaulted at “Smart Auto” and “Disabled” respectively. I changed the eCHI to “Disabled” and ECHI to “Enabled” and that made it so my USBs now function correctly in Windows, and the stick no longer bluescreens my system
Just installed my UFB - touchpad click works but the touchpad motion (Ie. Finger dragging, touchpad swiping) doesn’t work. Is this normal? Does UFB support this?
Okay, update.
I installed Windows 10 completely fresh, after I git my Win10 Key, obviously.
Here is the Result: http://puu.sh/oC1F6/dab9321be7.jpg
It seems it’s not because of the bad drivers of my motherboard, but because of previous driver I installed under Windows.
Either way. Everything works now, and I am at least half happy.
