Joytron Paewang Revolution PCB button layout

Here is a pic of what i am talking about, just to cleat all misscomunication ^^

and this is what i have so far:

It would make sense to me that this setup would work since this pcb is common ground, however my pc and xbox will not detect the pcb at all. What am i doing wrong?

EDIT: The order of the wires seems to be correct, but what would happen if i had the white and green wires in the wrong spots?

I figured as much, just thought I’d check.

Here’s another random question that someone might know: Since I’m using a hit box layout, I don’t have a stick and instead am using four buttons for LDRU. Since soldering wires into those white connectors looks like huge pain in the ass and I’d like to keep everything as solder-free and modular as possible does anyone know where I can find the white female ends that go into those connectors? EDIT: Or even just knows what they’re called

I’ll try poking around on digikey but hopefully someone here can save me some time 8)

radio shack has connecters that fit these, the u,d,l,r
some one said theirs isnot reading on their x box, make sure your turbo button is wired right, unplug it from the system, hold down turbo, and plug in while holding turbo.

If I wanted to use a joystick that required + 5v of power where would I solder the wire to?

Connect it to the VCC, where the Red USB wire is connected. You can solder to the underside of the PCB where the Red USB wire is at.

Having the data wires (white/green) backwards will probably just make the PCB not work.

Getting the VCC and Ground wires (red/black) might kill it. Some PCBs are sensitive to this.

You can buy them on eTokki.http://etokki.com/Misc/Paewang-Joystick-Harness However, these are fitted for a Joystick, and use .187" QDs. You can cut them and crimp on .110" QDs, though.

I’m wiring up a stickless controller using the Paewang, and I remember reading in another thread (the stickless one) that the red USB wire** isn’t** the VCC for the board – it’s the black (one? both?). Can anyone confirm / deny?

[EverAlert]

I just wired up a stickless controller with a Paewang myself, I can confirm that VCC is indeed red. Black is ground iirc.

Fantastic. Thanks. That’s the only hard-wired connection I need to make to the PCB (I used terminals for the SOCD and the connections to the buttons) and I didn’t want to potentially fry the board.
