You don’t need to do anything with the ground points since you’re only using it for PS3. Short answer - the ground point is used with the USB cable in your situation.
Also, how did you connect your points from the Cthulhu to the buttons? Did you connect each individual button to the corresponding point on the Cthulhu? Or did you just connect the Cthulhu’s points to corresponding points on the 360 pcb? Something tells me you may have done the latter. If that’s the case… well, let me know.
I’ve got some time before I head out. PM me any online contact information if you want some real time help - Gmail, AIM, etc. I’ll be waiting til 5:40 PST.
whats your aim…I really need help on this. also I connected the joystick u,d,l,r, straight to cthulhu board and the buttons I connected from the bottom row of the long rectangle thing on the bottom right of the te to the cthulhu board. sorry i dont know what things are called
I think he has the assembled one, but I’m not sure. He’s not really being clear.
Edit - DarthArma, why would you message me and then disappear? If you really want help, post clear pictures of the boards and a detailed description of what you did in order. Failing that, look around. The info’s out there.
what I was trying to do is dual mod my te stick and have two usb cables hanging out. I dont have the IMP or time to order it and wait for it. I need this modded by tomorrow night. I wired everything into the cthulhu by directly wiring the stick directions into it, and the buttons i used the long rectangle strip located at the bottom right by soldering the bottom row. I plug in the usb to my pc but it only reads the controller is there but it wont let me hit any buttons or move the joystick. can someone please help me out I really need this modded. thank you so much
As I’ve never done what you’re attempting, I’m not sure I could help you. What I would personally do, though, is solder the button and directional points from the Cthulhu to the 360 PCB - essentially using it to “pass through” to the buttons. Should be less of a hassle and a lot cleaner, and if/when you decide to go the imp/DPDT route, it’s not much work from there.
Another thing… did you strip the wires before you inserted them into the screw terminals/QDs? I’m pretty sure a connection could only be established if you connected them.
Thanks for taking the time to try and help me. I really appreciate it. I did stripp the wires before screwing them in(so the metal is exposed on the wire right?) but no connection seems to be there because no actions can be done. Is there anything besides screwing down the terminal that needs to be done that I’m not seeing???
Also I was trying to PM you guys but not getting responses, I must be doing this wrong. (btw this is my first forum I dont really know these things)
And where do I solder the cthulhu wires to the xb360 pcb? where on the xb360 pcb would I look to solder. I’m guessing the bottom but i really know nothing about it
DarthArma, your project doesn’t really match what this thread is for. The thread you should read, and I mean read it ALL, is this one: http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=146124
The problem you’re having wouldn’t be occuring if you’d read through the info there.
No, you PMed correctly.
Uh, have you read THIS thread even? Because I know this is covered quite well.
Having problems with this mod in a 360 TE. First time using an IMP, and it won’t work on either system. This is trying with the guide held down on both systems, it doesn’t even register (Where the PS3 would say that an invalid USB device was inserted, it won’t).
I have included crappy camera phone pics. It appears to be wired right to me (notches on the PICs for the IMP have the notches facing the top of the board). But here’s everything.
We’d need to see how the wires go to the 360 TE PCB’s underside too. Where does the wire going from the Imp’s Guide spot connect to?
Also could you just link to the pics or make them a little smaller?
I have the Guide for the Imp and the wire leading to Home on the Cthulhu chained together on the XGUILD soldering point on the little board sitting underneath the turbo panel.
All the wires underneath the 360 PCB are going to the terminal strip, and are soldered to the QD’s. I prefer doing it that way.
So the only wires coming off the 360 board are Ground, being ran to point C on the Cthulhu’s top soldering points, VCC, ran to the 2nd row Column V, D+, which is ran to 1 D+ on the Imp, and D-, which is ran to 1 D- on the Imp.
Quick question for either bomberman or toodles. When doing using the MC w/ imp as bomberman has done it, why do the MC data lines need to be in the “1” position for D+/- on the Imp? You mentioned that if I’m using a PS3/PC version I can put the 360 in position 1, but if it’s MC I need the cthulu in position 1.
I’ve used the PS3/PC version only, so this is just a curiosity.
Because the ‘LS/DP/RS’ slide switch is being used to control the Imp. Since the slide setting affects the 360, we want ‘DP’ or ‘LS’ to be 360, and ‘RS’ to be the Cthulhu.
THe other way, with MC Cthulhu as primary, assumes a pushbutton controlling the Imp, so it’s easier to remember: hold button for 360, everything else is default.
Hmm, but if I use an MC cthulu and utilize an RJ45 mod. If I wanted my 360 mode as a default, and hold a button for PS3 (or set the switch to RS), that would be just fine since that only manipulates the usb lines?
I ask because if I utilize the RJ45 and have a PS2 cable come from it, if I plug in the PS2 cable, having the 360 as default on the IMP (position 1) wouldn’t interfere with that would it? I realize that the IMP has nothing to do with the ps2 cable, but I didn’t know if it would interfere with it in anyway.
You’d have to press a button for the cthulhu mode; one of the USB lines is used by the PS2 wiring. You could probably get away with Gamecube without pressing the button, but everything else the cthulhu does will have to be turned on with the imp in Cthulhu mode.
