a few things to consider
[list=1]
[] you will need to power BOTH controller (ps360, ps360+, brooks, whatever) and arduino
[] you will need to have each button switch (including joystick) connected to the
[] you will need 2 usb connections (one for the controller to play games, one for the arduino to upload sketches)
[] @“Jasen Hicks” solved this with the Kaimana Kameleon LED Driver PCB
[/list]
connecting the arduino from the brooks
[list]
[] use female to female jumper wires
[] connect the corresponding pins on the brooks to the arduino (including vcc & gnd)
[*] go crazy
[/list]
tips
[list]
[] you can simplify to 1 usb cable by
[] using a dpdt switch and solder the data lines accordingly
[*] using a 2 port usb hub and burry it in your stick (the one from amazon is great since i use a Neutrik NAUSB-W-B A/B USB Feed-Through - Black)

Ok thanks.i think i have it pretty much figured out. The arduino is coming from china so will probably take a week or two to get here with free shipping. I also included female to female “dupont” cables with my order for piggybacking from the ufb witch i already have a pin header soldered to.
I also ordered female to male dupont cable. My plan is to make pairs of leds witch i can disconnect from the chain if i want to swap out a button by soldering male dupont cables to the first of the pair then female to the second of the pair. It sounds weird but ill post pics once (if) i get it done, then it should make sense
Oh yeah im installing this in my trusty old atrox so usb is no problem since i can just open the lid for flashing the arduino.
Lol nice. Are those arceyes or did you manage to insert your led strips on the inside of you button? I was thinking of hotglueing mine to the bottom on the underside, hopeing the light will be sufficient with the led beeing mounted on the outside rather then the inside.
I doubt mine will look this tidy when all is done though.
Quick question before i start soldering my leds together (they should arrive today): it is possible to assign two leds per button right? Not sure how many the testers are using or if two are even needed.
job cuts
**seasons beatings :heartbreak: **
Good morning Tech Talk members
I recently lost my job.
This double sucks as it is the holiday season and it came without notice.
Long story short, i am a developer by trade (front, middle, back), you can check out my short bio profile on [color=#10cfbd]profile
Currently i am on a frantic search to be able to make it through the holiday season without bootstrapping anything and i have a few good leads.
I by no means am looking for a hand out, but i am looking to establish additional credibility in the industry through my personal projects such as moledcule
What would be awesome from you all at Tech Talk is if you could:
[list]
[]visit moledcule site
[]download the chrome app
[]create a profile
[]create a few themes

Simply asking for 2 minutes of your time
Hey, i am a proud family man and it’s painfully humbling to even ask for this kind of help
thanks in advance for participating seasons greetings to you all

Sorry to hear that man, hope you get back on your feet soon. I’ll be creating themes soon as my micro gets here, however, is there any other way to login other then Facebook? I deleted my account years ago. Maybe google+ or somthing would be nice.
In other news, my leds came in today. They actually come pre wired so it looks like ill only have to hotglue them on and solder jumper wires to the end that goes to the arduino. Will post pics when ive installed them.

I tried loading the app at work, but it defaulted to my right hand screen (which isn’t hidden xD) and there was none of the usual windows windows buttons in the top right to take it from full screen and move it. Not sure if thats a bug or there is another way around it?
Alright, my arduino micro finally came in today. Moledcule isnt detecting it however, are there any steps i should take when plugging it in? Keep in mind im not logged in as i have no Facebook.
mac or pc you may need drivers
hi, if you are on a mac, you should be good to go. if you are on a pc, you will need drivers, check the link [color=#10cfbd]here for PC installation

Hi. My kaimana board is being idetified but still but not being detected. Any help? I included a link, with a screenshot showing what I mean. Thanks in advance. https://s27.postimg.org/mnxcgdv7n/Screenshot_37.png
