I already got the PCB but i was wondering how do i connect the home led button, in my custom fightstick i got a home led button and home button as one but how do i manage to connect the led part so when i turn on my xb1 with the fightstick my home/led button turn on?

there’s led on UFB. once you connected to power, it shows blue light, which is visual signal to tell you it is connected to power.

What i mean is i made a custom fightstick, bought a happ type led button (micro switch, led inside happ type button). How do i connect the led part to the UFB so it work like xb1 home led?

They show this on their website. There is a 5 point connection on the board (J5), for each player LED. In XBO mode all 4 light up so just tap the VCC and Player 1 point and you are good to go.

Does the UFB offer headphone support. With talk back function.

If not does it have the ability too with a software update. Or is the board not compatible at all and we would require a completely new board to be designed.

I cant use an extra control and run my headphones through it as I sold my extra controls to get the funds for the UFB.

Thanks.

Jasen_Hicks · 2016-06-19T19:07:18.000Z

No, no audio support on it. It would need to be redesigned to allow it.

@Falkentyne Sorry for the late reply, work has been crazy. It gives a disconnected error message. I’m gonna install the latest update update and see if that solves the issue.

Any chance of getting original Wii (not Wii U) support? It’s becoming pretty common for old Wiis to be used as emulation boxes for retro consoles as they are very cheap and can handle emulation well. It would be nice to be able to use a brooks with it.

If the Wii’s homebrew app supports HID Devices, then you can use the Pokken controller mode for it I think, but I don’t even think many of them supports HID Devices either way. We won’t get any native Wii support (as a Classic Controller or GameCube controller). So don’t get your hopes up on that.

@Brook_Engineer I know this might be a stretch but can there be a way to turn SOCD off? I love having it for fighting games but I would also like to use my hitbox for playing rhythm games on my computer but the SOCD cleaning means that I can only use two of my directional buttons for in game buttons. Games like osu mania use key mapping sdf space jkl which would be perfect for left, down, right, up, 1p,2p,3p but the socd won’t allow me to. Maybe a button combination that only works when it’s plugged into a PC so it wouldn’t mess with tournament validity for consoles?

Tactics:

Reason is I want to use a Neutrik Ethernet adapter since it has the release latch instead of using just usb a/b cable with the crappy no latch neutrik. I know its just 4 cables but at the time I was not sure which 4 on the Ethernet side Id have to connect to. I found out the usb layout that I should be using now…so I should have a USB B(printer port) to RJ45 cable ready soon to see if my RJ45 mod will work with UFB.

Here is the pic I used to help me in case if anyone else wants to try it. If you know that it will not work then please let me know, but I am sure it will.

what about these?

Those cables can be found at mouser but they cost $50+ dollars, which is why some people opt for ethernet cables if they want a cheaper solution that locks. I remember reading somewhere that you can take the ethernet collar off and do a ‘DIY’ locking usb cable, although I don’t remember the details or where I read that.
