HORI Fighting EDGE

I wired the orange to ground, the red to vcc the green to start and the yellow to select but when I plugged it in nothing worked. This was also the 360 version.

the colors on the 360 one could be flipped around

What’s the best way to test this? I think I have a multimeter but I don’t know what to check for with each wire.

Sorry for the double post. @ChaoticMonk @Gummo how do I wire up the start select ground and 5v to a ps360+ in a x360 fighting edge that I already removed the PCB from? I modded my friend’s stick and everything is working except for start and select. I cut and stripped the wires from the 6 wire harness coming from the touch panel and plugged the red wire into vcc, the orange wire into gnd, the green into start, and the select into yellow. When I plugged the stick in, it didn’t work at all. I opened it up and swapped the orange wire to vcc and the red wire to gnd and plugged it back in and again nothing worked. I opened it and detached all four wires, orange, red, green, and yellow and the board works fine for joystick, buttons, and home. My friend took his stick home with him so I don’t have it on hand to tinker with and I don’t want to mess his stick up by blowing something by wiring it to the wrong spot. I just want to get his start and select working for him.

I haven’t had the pleasure of working on a 360 one yet, just PS3 ones :frowning:
Based on the images in the thread, red is vcc and orange is gnd. So the question is, which is start/select.
Again, based on the images it still looks like green is start and yellow is select but there’s obviously something else at play otherwise Gummo would’ve have said to connect to the transistor legs

@ChaoticMonk @Gummo I luckily found the wire harness connector and reattached it to the PCB, maybe this will help.

Has anybody attempted to convert a Fighting Edge into a hitbox? It seems like the surface area of an FE would be perfect for it.

Possible yes, likely no.
I yet to see anyone produce a replacement top panel for the fighting edge.

You have to get the metal and plexy replacement panels made custom for your mod.

Not many people have the means to cut sheet metal.

Anyone heard any updates on a possible FE4? It’s almost June… :frowning:

FE4 + Brook UFB=heaven. If the touch panel would work of course.

The dream.

Last piece of news we had about the FE4 was that it was under ā€œintense development.ā€

Which, I’m not sure where people were getting ā€œJuneā€ out of that from.

as long as we get one i’d be happy

I think he meant ā€œalmost Juneā€ as June is next month.

I’d be pretty keen for an updated version.

I’ve thought about getting a PS3 version and modding it with a UFB, but the price I’ve seen them on eBay and to get to me delivered to Australia is a bit too rich for me, plus the level of effort to mod it - I might just wait patiently :slight_smile:

Anyone have a digital copy of the FE board layout they’ve used for custom artwork or whatnot? I’m working on a couple cabs and I want to use the Fighting Edge layout for my button/joystick cut outs.

One page back, someone said that the FE4 was coming ā€œIn June.ā€ The Game Watch article said, ā€œIntense developmentā€ and I haven’t seen any other news other than that. The poster also gave no reference for it either. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw an announcement at Evo though.

I am seriously eyeing out a white 360 but would like to put a Brook UFB on it.

I am slightly confused with the requirements to get the touch panel and LEDs to work… (I will have to re-read the past few pages over and over)

Having never seen a FE IRL, from what I’ve seen online, the touch panel consists of a start/select/tournament button (lock?) and a configuration button (change on the fly), can the tournament and configuration button be used as a turbo and PS4 TP_KEY?

Does the original PCB need to be used as a pass through PCB to get the LEDs and touchpanel to work? Logically, I’m thinking the touch panel would have power/ground, 4 active wires?

Having never really worked with LEDs much before, I’m not really sure exactly what is required, I’ve done a lot of piggy backing (TE’s player LEDs to the brook UFB Player LEDs - nothing special really, it’s just another point to solder, no resistors or anything involved). Soldering is no drama (although that transistor leg may be a little challenging)

I don’t think I came across it on the thread, but does anyone have a 360 FE with a Brook UFB successfully using the touchpad buttons and side LEDs?

Alternatively, I think I may just get a brook 360 to PS4 converter to save all the hassle hahah

There are people who done this, and there a guide somewhere on the forums showing you how to wire up the touch pad.

Yeah I think I’ve read the last few pages over 5 times to try and wrap my head around the resistors and what not. I’ll see how I go once I have a FE in my possession. It’s hard to read about something I don’t physically have and I can’t check with a meter

So, my USB cord is beginning to go. Is it an easy fix or not? Also, is there a video guide or something?
