awesome, i’ll be picking one up this week, does anyone know if the scv te has changed anything wiring wise?

[Toodles]

Until someone can examine the insides, it’s rather up in the air. I hope they didn’t but noone will know until we can get a good look at the insides.

PS3 model looks the same.

Haven’t seen the 360 version yet.

[PaperTigre]

Well, hopefully Amazon ships mine soon, so worst case I’ll be able to tell.

TE-S Harnesses are back in stock and available for purchase at http://gdlk.co

Oh nice! I just looked at your site tonight to check and see if they were in stock and they were not yet. This is good news. Ordering a Kitty + harness now

What I’d like for you to do is remove the green and white wires for the outgoing USB cable from the screw terminals, but leave the red and black in. Hold down the Guide button (slide switch on Unlocked) and plug it into a PC. You should see the one and four player LEDs light up around the guide button to show its in bootloader mode.
Once there, you need to take a multimeter and read the resistance between two pairs of pins on the small 4066 chip next to the screw terminals. Specifically, pins 1 and 2, and pins 8 and 10.

(end of chip with notch or dimple)
1  14
2  13
3  12
4  11
5  10
6    9
7    8

If you can let me know what resistances you see there, I can figure out how best to fix it up for you.

Couldn’t find a notch or a dimple, but I guess between 1+2 is 13 ohms, 8+10 is 5 ohms.

Sorry about that; the 4066 has a line on one side that shows the side with pins 1-7. Could you verify that matches the pins you tested?

[Bahn_Yuki]

Ok looking at it the chip from the side, yes there is a dimple, so I assume those are the proper points I ohmed out.

[Toodles]

Thats…weird. Those resistances are rather low, which is great; there should be no trouble communicating through them.
Two thingss. First off, I wanted to verify that when you try to upload the firmware, the Kitty.exe file, the fw_update.exe, AND the .hex file you’re selecting, are all in the same directory; the .hex you’re selecting is definitely in the same directory as the Kitty.exe that you’re running.
Second, I’d like to see a photo of the outgoing USB cable where it screws into the screw terminals.

Can you install the Kitty without the turbo panel? Does this let you use the option to use Start and Select as the menu button or is the turbo panel a must for the installation of the kitty. Also do you have to use the USB cable or can you run all consoles from an RJ45 jack or do you have to have the usb for xbox360?

2. You can use either. USB (including the bootloader, PS3 and Xbox360 modes) all work through RJ-45 or the dedicated USB cable.

Okay that makes sense. I am wanting to install an xbox 360 pcb into my PS3 stick. I have none of the wire harness for the pcb but i do have the turbo panel. Is there a place that sells the wire harness for the pcb? or will the harness kit work without me having to buy the other ones?

Im not following which ribbons you do or don’t have. If you can clear that up for me, I can see what I can do to help.

I have 0 harness cables for the PCBs. All i have are the turbo panel, xbox 360 PCB and the button terminals. I have zero cables to any of them.

I think I’m sold on this when I get my next paycheque, but I’m reading the guide, and I’m not 100% clear on this: What happens to the end of the USB cable that’s on the TE PCB after it gets cut?

Also, where are all the installation videos on youtube?

You put that ~3" of remaining cable into the screw terminals on the Kitty.

[Stumblebee]

Huh. How’d I miss that? Alright. Thanks man

Yikes. If you have a TE-S based stick, you’d need two 6 pin JST ribbons on top of the Kitty kit + TES harnesses. If you have a TE based stick, you’d need four 6 pin JST ribbons and a 5 pin JST ribbon. I dont have enough to cover that. Could you check with Gummowned or J&J to see if they have spares you could buy off of them? If they did, that’d be your easiest solution, and I know they burn through a bunch of Brawl sticks and similar; with luck, they may have enough to cover what you need. If not, you’d have to crimp your own, and that’s not fun.

I’d much rather have folks go slow, take their time, and follow the installation guide with the nice, in focus, legible photos. Plus, the install takes longer than 15 minutes.

How about this, T-man. Whenever I order one, I’ll do a one-take walkthrough of me installing it, going through the guide.

I’m a super inexperienced user, and I feel that a lot of the time it can help the guide’s newbie friendliness… You see, I get weird about something as simple as cutting wires, so that’s the kind of skill I’m working with here. I’m super stoked about this product though. I do feel like this is the best shot for me to dualmod my own stick, rather than spend hella money on shipping and labor.
