Yup. I’ve done a few local pickups. I usually meet somewhere in between. Once boards are in, we can set something up.
Sounds good. Thanks!
i got around to wiring my hrap with the axisdapter. waiting for a jlf harness to arrive in the mail. i cant wait for this to be complete. no more getting up to plug in usb cord, no more winding up and tieing up for storage.
also, i was able to wire it so that pressing start and select together activates home. i didnt have to cut the case or panel to add a new button.
much thanks to shinjn for the axisdapter and slagcoin for the start + select = home help.
Remember the charging cable!
Hey stnwag0n, do you mind sharing how you wired the start/select buttons to act as home?
slagcoin hooked it up with the diagram. works perfectly.

the resistors are switched in the picture, but thats pretty much how its connected

So I still haven’t had time to hook mine up. I finally got all the supplies (except the USB solution which is on it’s way) but have had a ton of family stuff going on so no time to work on it. I did take some time at work yesterday to draw this up and I’ve got a couple questions… I’m hooking mine up in a VSHG. The colors just depict the colors of the actual wires in the stick.
*Image removed because Diagram wouldn’t have worked. Look down a couple posts for the corrected one.
Can I run 3 ground Wires to the same hookup up at the top? Should I connect the 3 together with a butt connector and run them to a single wire to hook it up? I’m just thinking 3 wires won’t fit in the terminal.
Take a look at R2 from the Daughter board. That’s my concern now as it’s ground isn’t running to where the ground is on the sixaxis. It runs to the one on the other side of the board with the PS & Select buttons. Do you think it’ll work? if not it’s cool as long as I can get L2 working at least. As I said before, those are mostly used for navigating menus from what I’ve seen.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You need to avoid having CMN (L) and CMN ® connecting when a button is pressed, so the R2 there on the daughterboard is going to spoil things. I think what I would do is either leave R2 unconnected, or move to having L1 and L2 up top, with R1 and R2 as the face buttons. L1 and L2 should be able to connect with Select and PS based on what I understand.
Hey what’s up! Thanks for all your help on this. I think I can live with either of those ideas. Either without R2 or having one of the buttons swapped. Since I’ve got nothing better to do at work today I’ll modify the diagram and let you take a look at it again. The picture makes it tons easier for me to understand.

Alright here’s the new diagram…

I have received two messages from people asking if their boards are defective. Most likely you are using the wrong ground or trying to do a common ground. I made a post a while back that has results of mixing the grounds. Please take a look… http://forums.shoryuken.com/showpost.php?p=5975949&postcount=58
If you are soldering the boards yourself, please remember that excessive heat will ruin any of the components, especially the FFC connector. After soldering, insert the ribbon cable please use a multimeter to make sure there is a “connection” from pin 1, 2, 3, etc on the ribbon cable to screw terminal 1, 2, 3, etc.
And before assuming it’s the AXISdapter, make sure your PCB is working. There are some buying bulk SIXAXIS controllers from a lot of salvaged controllers. Not all will work. I have about 7 dead SIXAXIS controllers. Some charge and sync, but some of the buttons do not work.
Please follow the directions in the included document. It’ll save you a headache. =D
Remember, the AXISdapter has no crazy chip. It is only an extension of the FFC connector on the SIXAXIS pcb.
I have a SIXAXIS controller but not sure if it’s dead?
The Down on the d-pad fails sometimes, but not always. Same with the X button. It charges and syncs fine. No other problems.
Do you think I’d have a problem using the pcb from this controller?
My assumption initially was that the pcb is good, and the problem was with the thin flimsy part (name?) connected by the FCC cable. I know it’s impossible for you to know for sure, but any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I actually took my SIXAXIS apart yesterday in anticipation of getting the AXISdapter. I was also planning to look for a “broken” SIXAXIS to complete a 2nd stick but now I’m not so sure.
Also, did you receive my PM yesterday regarding my pre-order? I didn’t get a PM sent message so I wasn’t sure. (and my apologies if you received the same PM a few times!!)
If the buttons work intermittently, then your issue might be with the rubber contact pads. If it doesn’t work at all, then it’s your PCB. The only way to tell for sure is your replace the contact pads or try it out with an AXISdapter.
And yes, I got your PM. I added you to the list of pre-orders.
Thanks, makes me feel less worried about it now.
I don’t want to take apart my working DS3 just to use the rubber pads so I’ll find out whenever I get the AXISdapters and test it out.
Hi ShinJn,
Just wanted to check hows the pre-order coming.
Can we expect to pay/ship somewhere this week ?
Im not rushing but my wooden pansy box is almost done haha
Yes, some time next week should be the target week. It is looking like the boards will arrive on Monday. Then it’ll take me a couple of nights to solder them up.
Good job, stnwag0n
Griff, the second image is the best way to go if you do not want to hack up the daughter board. And yes, you can use CMN(L) or CMN® for Select, Start, and PS.
Thanks for the confirmation. I’ll post up when I get it all up and running. :bgrin:

ShinJN, Just making sure you have me on the preorder list. Your adaptor is the last piece of the puzzle before my project is complete. Thanks.
The list is in the first post.
