Official AXISdapter Thread: SIXAXIS/DS3 Hacking Made Easy (ONLY PACK A avail)

sigh, got my controller today, again, its the newer DS3 T^T

I guess I need to order another sixaxis off line…

DSlayerZX, do you want to trade your DS3 for a SIXAXIS?

yeah, that would be good. whew… glad I didn’t buy the sixaxis off line yet…

just to make sure though, this one is slightly used, everything else is fine

I have no way of knowing 100% if it will or won’t; I havent done it. I can tell you that the material in that battery is the same material as the one in the sixaxis. I can tell you that the voltage the battery provides is identical to the one in the sixaxis. I can tell you that the JST connector in the product photo looks, to me, exactly like the one used in the sixaxis. I can only say that I think it will work, but I could be wrong. (storage on that battery is about 3.3x the storage of an original sixaxis battery)

ShinJN, can you PM me an email address where I can send an order request? I’d send you a PM but I’m about 8 posts short of PM privileges. :wgrin:

Well, Toodles my friend I just ordered a battery from sparkfun. I’ll keep
you guys posted on the sixaxis battery upgrade. Jimmy, I hope it’s OK
posting this info here. Otherwise I’ll create a new thread. BTW I got
my sixaxis adapter yesterday and am currently modding my VSHG.:lovin:

In before ShinJN says the same thing…

PICS, NAOH! :slight_smile:

pardon the noob-speak…but what does that mean???

im not too techno inclined…

Feel free to post the pics here. Looks like you beat me to getting a VSHG modded with the AXISdapter =D. Post pics when done.

tell us how that goes. I am on the waiting list planning to do the same thing to my VSHG.

+1 with the pix on the VSHG mod … I am eagerly waiting for my axisdapter to arrive to the great white north so that I can do the same thing.

I haven’t read the entire thread yet (getting there, a latecomer to this) but sixaxis pads are becoming increasingly harder to find now - I couldn’t find one at all when I went looking recently. The last time I saw them in a brick-and-mortar store near me was a few months back, at a Target on clearance. I wish I’d known then I’d want a couple.

The priority mail international small flat rate box orders I shipped last week should be in your hands some time this week. For some reason, the track and confirm system doesn’t update the customs barcode number. I asked the post office where I dropped it off at and they said that it doesn’t work all the time. So please let me know when you guys get them.

I got em, fantastic work ;).

What this means is that the SIXAXIS pcb is not common ground. In english, it means you cannot use a single connection to feed ground to all the buttons and directions. So I hope you do not plan on attempting a dual system mod with this.

Yup. The only places you can really get them now are Gamestops and other places that sell used accessories. The only problem is that they charge you freakin $40 dollars. WTF?!

CHEERS! That’s weird. gns is in Canada and you’re overseas! How did he not get his first?

Then go buy a new DS3, send it to me, and I’ll send you an assembled AXISdapter with the guts from a SIXAXIS already tested and working.

Thats because Canadian customs :rolleyes: (whatever they are called) is verrrrrrry slow. Stuff from Lizardlick takes about 3 weeks to get to me … and that is when he is not back-ordered.

I have learned to be patient !!!

Sorry for not replying earlier. Didn’t read your post till now. Well here’s my crappy stick with an awesome axisadapter :rofl:

I know the wiring is god awful. This is just a temporary stick till my finkle comes in, which he’s almost done with :rofl:
Well yeah I’ve had no problems with the AxisAdapter, wireless stick ftw.

nnguyen90… I love the twisty-tie PCB “mounting legs.” That is definitely ghetto++. I’m glad everything is working out.

I’ve been working on this thing for hours and am just brain fried; I supect the quality went down as the steps go on :slight_smile: I don’t know what it is, but I could code for hours and be happy as a clam, but the moment I have to write English and describe things my brain just shuts down. Please, all feedback, especially constructive feedback of what needs to be described better is definitely appreciated. ShinJN, there’s no need to recreate all over, so if you have drawing, pictures, or input, we can easily make this equally applicable to both boards, or all three if you count your newer one. Throw it my way and I’ll add it up.
