I’m hoping that the 360 PCB is smaller than I’m guessing it is once I crack that shell. If not, maybe I can mount one of them to the bottom panel and the other to the top.
Also, as of yesterday the project is currently on hold for a few reasons:
-I’ll have to do a LOT of filing or routing to get my LS-32 to fit in that recess at all, and I don’t really have the means or time to do that right now.
-A few of the components from my uPCB are broken, so I’m waiting for replacements from Digikey.
-I realized I don’t have a screwdriver small enough to crack open that Madcatz shell, so I’ll have to track one down.
-Finally, classes start soon, so I have to make preparations for that.
So, checklist for completion of this project stands at:
[list]
[]Route hole and mounting for DB-15 topside of the stick.
[]File down space in joystick mounting for LS-32.
[]Secure artwork for control panel.
[]Paint case
[]Piggyback 360 PCB onto uPCB.
[]Mount and wire all components.
[*]Make Button Select and PS2 cables for uPCB.
[/list]
Damn, first time I’ve ever felt daunted by this project, mostly the extra case work.
Don’t bother filing down the hole for the joystick. Use a razor sharp knife and it will cut like butter. The screw driver you need can be found at Radio Shack, or a Hardware store. Take the controller with you so they know what you are talking about for the screw driver.
From the looks of things you might be able to mount the UPCB under the joystick and the 360 pcb under the buttons.
