Need a common ground ps3 pad

Can anyone recommend a PS3 pad with a common ground?
We have the Saturn style one but it has no home button.
Unless there is a way round that.
Any help appreciated.

Laurie.

Aren’t the DualShock 3s and SIXAXIS controllers already common ground?

THe sixaxis and ds3 has like 4 grounds IIRC

toodles cthulu board?

^Yeah, that is what I was thinking.

That is probably your best option if you want to wire up a PS3 compatible joystick.

Nope. Even if you add the resistors manually to make it a common line board, it is still a common HIGH board, not a common ground.

Appreciated, and yes it is.

Laurie, I may be a little biased, but I do think the Cthulhu is the absolute best way to go if you’re planning on doing a dual pcb setup including PS3.

No, you just speaketh the troof.:wgrin:

Agreed Toodles. Maximus/sinster master has been showing me the work you have done and it looks great.
Where is the best place to get one?

as in you get the highest cut.

Oh, well, that’s news to me. I didn’t know that the PS3 pads weren’t common ground. My mistake.

And although I haven’t used one myself, I’ll jump on the bandwagon too and agree that the Cthulu board’s your best bet, laurie. I dunno where you can buy one in the UK, but I know you can buy Cthulu kits from LizardLick and they ship worldwide. That’ll probably be your best option barring buying one directly from Toodles.

I appreciate the consideration, but just grab one from where ever is most convenient.
Just make sure to post up pics of whatever you make with it. :slight_smile:
