Er? New version? Curiosity is piqued…
Good to know the XBox will sync thru the USB. Since we have to tap the USB line on the PCB, I guess it makes sense, since teh PnC cable does the same thing, right? Besides housing the charging chip, there’s nothing else the cable does any diffrernt than the USB cord in this instance, or am I off base again (wouldn’t be the first or last time…)
How many of the boards do you have left? Or rather, if I were to try to buy one from you within the next month or two, would you still have some?
Any idea when you’ll have the new batch?
i have 9 left.
I’d say one month till I have the new batch.
Dunno about the rest of you guys, but i find syncing 360 through usb blows donkey balls… sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt… other times it causes the controller to turn off as soon as i plug in…
i’m removing 360 usb from masterstrike and i’m gonna hook up the sync button instead
Is there going to be anything different on the new batch of boards???
yes. it will be a lot better. Will make things a bit easier.
Can’t wait to hear any news on the new board.
I think I screwed up my dual mod… I bought an X360 TE several months ago into which I dropped a sixaxis pcb + axisdapter since I only have a PS3. Recently I’ve decided to finish out the dual mod so I ordered the Imp but I’m now realizing that if I hook up the original madcatz x360 PCB into the buttons & directions it will join the grounds and cause my sixaxis to stop working, or at least that’s what I think will happen.
So I’m interested in this board if it will make my life easier / fix my dual mod.
I should add, I don’t really care about having wireless functionality for X360, since I will only use that sparingly, it’s fine if I have to jack in.
Well you can’t Dual Mod with a SIXAXIS because it is not Common Ground.
The Leo Board from Gummowned makes it possible to use SIXAXIS in a Dual Mod.
Depending on how this new board is set up, I’m tempted to throw my current leo in my brother’s Capcom Power Stick and put the new board in the VAS-HG (which is taking a while to get started on anyway…) What did you have planned for the new version?
design is finished just need to double check the traces and then I’ll have the pcbs made.
-better mounting option
-extra set of holes for 3rd controller to be wired up
-easier trigger wiring
-some screw terminals
-more gnd locations
-optional battery mounting?
I see. Makes that triple wireless setup much easier. More options for 360 boards as well with the trigger hack bit. Which lines will the screw terminals be used on?
You should just add a spot for a 28 pin chip to go into for Wii 
the screw terminals are to wire the sticks buttons to the board w/o soldering. So from the get go you can pretty much hook up a sixaxis to the leo and the sticks buttons/joystick without needing an iron.
Maybe in the 3rd version. Any way you could mass program the QFP version of the atmega chip?
Well, that’s quite nice. You can do a wireless PS3 led mod with minimal soldering. I can see that coming in handy
Personally? no, but they can always be ordered preprogrammed from Digikey, and I assume from atmel as well.
Will the screw terminals add to the cost of the board?
Also, any idea when you’ll have the pcbs made?
The board will cost a bit more but a final pricing hasn’t been determined yet.
I sent the design for manufacturing today. I’ll probably get the pcbs near the end of this month.
That’s all the details I’ll be giving out for now until I’m ready to revail the new design.
Great. I’m excited.
What’s the stat on the new pcbs Gumm?
I’m just about finished up my nOOb worklog for my wireless dual mod stick. Hope to post up in the next day or two. Hope it helps someone else take the plunge.
