Don’t think Toodles has ifnished it yet… Check out the install diagrams on post #3 of the arceye3 thread in the meantime
Mines not official or anything… just something quick and dirty for myself because i’m lazy lol
Great design. I love how it replaces the terminal block. Great use of space.
The solder jumper/trace thing was put in a bad location, something I’ll fix on the next layout. That jumper spot connects KGND to GND, but the KGND side also has a trace that goes from there to the Start and Select buttons. If you accidentally cut that trace when trying to seperate the jumper, that would leave the start and select commons floating high. At a guess, that’s likely what happened, but that can be checked easily enough with a meter by verifying the two inside pins of the start/back connector are connected to the KGND pin on the TES ribbon connector.
After you check that, is there any way you can verify for my well being that the KGND lock switch on the PS3 TE-S models works the same as the 360 versions? That is, that it connects KGND to GND on ‘unlock’ and leaves KGND floating on ‘lock’?
Thanks, but I found the information I needed reading the post, also found information from the pin to connect to Cthulhu. install in a MadCatz TE-S all super easy! I hope to do a couple completely from scratch with cthulhu. Thank you Toodles and purplearm for an excellent product!

order only 6 buttons by mistake, now to wait the other two ¬ ¬
Here’s a pic of how i installed the remora into an evo pro stick, not sure if its the same for all pros:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1570228/2012-08-10%2002.46.18.jpg
i just made the holes longer and tightened the screws down enough to hold the board in place
It does indeed work as advertised
This will work with the SE stick right? They have such similarities.
Hi sorry if this is a dumb question, but I’m new to the tech scene and I’m working on my first dual mod/remora LED mod
I have a TE Kitty w/ spring terminals & a remora board
The terminals on the TE Kitty are as follows
Sheild
Ground
D+
D-
V
S
Ground
D+
D-
All 8 of these terminals already have a wire running into them, but I was wondering if I would still be able to put the put the power cord (in addition to the cord that’s already in one of the terminals) into one of these terminals, and if I’m able to, which one could I put the power cord into? I want to do this to avoid soldering if that’s possible.
Then I assume the other end of the power cord goes into the VCC screw terminal on the remora? Or am I completely wrong and it should go into the ground terminal? Thanks for whomever can help
you would put it into the V(CC) terminal on the TE Kitty. Either one.
Thanks. Appreciate it Tigre
Between the two, you want the power wire going to the VCC in the Xbox section. That’ll have power whether you use the USB cable or the RJ45 jack; OUT section would only have power when the USB cable is used.
Best thing to do is have the wires soldered to the holes next to the terminals, including both the red USB wire to TE board and the Remora power wire both soldered to the VCC in the Xbox section.
Next best thing is having both in the XBOX VCC screw terminal/spring terminal together.
Easiest thing but it kinda risky is to have only the Remora power wire going to the XBOX VCC spring/screw terminal and keep the red USB wire to the TE board cut short and insulated, not going to anything. The ribbon cables from Kitty to TE board can provide power.
Ok maybe im retarded, but how do you install this to a ps360+?
Connect the vcc and gnd between boards, cut the signal and gnd on the harnesses and connect them via screw terminal to the ps360+, connect remainder of harness to remora… Win?
I wanna make sure I can do this before I order them
Ok, I dont wanna sound like a PITA, but I’ve never done an LED mod before (because I didnt wanna mod the buttons with holes) so the remora with arceye3s is perfect. But you dont happen to have a diagram displaying how to set it up to the ps360+ do you?
connect each button to the underside of the remora. it matches up to either the xbox TE or TE-S terminal strip.
PS360+ button -> Remora distro

Sorry for the ugly pic, but it’s pretty straightforward and easy
My stick disconnects from my Xbox whenever more than 4 buttons are lit up. My setup is:
ArcEye2 > Remora > Xbox TE PCB > Chimp > USB
However, the VCC from the Remora goes straight to one of the VCC terminals on the Chimp. I have soldered wires from the Xbox PCB to the Chimp, rather than having two signal wires coming out of each button/direction. Could it be that my configuration is causing the problem?
Isn’t that the male connectors in Remora have a pitch size of 2mm instead of 2.54mm?
All the connector housings you listed seem to have 2.54mm.
I’m actually trying to figure out how to connect from Remora to VLX kitty or just hori vlx, which has 2*13 IDC connector (2.54mm pitch).
To solve this, assuming to recycle the connector housing already included in vlx and remora, I think I need a wire crimped with different terminals at two ends of the wire.
One would be like http://www.pololu.com/picture/view/0J2541
The other one would be like http://www.ebay.com/itm/500-Molex-mini-SPOX-crimp-contact-crimp-terminal-22-28-AWG-5103-2-50mm-Loose-JST-/140642202584?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20beedb3d8#ht_1401wt_906
Please let me know if anyone has an idea.
I’ve had the same issue and wiring the vcc on the xbox fixed my issue.
I wired mine here:
Correct… The JST headers on Remora use a 2mm pitch… that pololu 5/6 pin header wont work
oh i know, you can still buy the female wires and single handed insert them
or
digikey
5 pin $0.12 each
6 pin $0.13 each
Lol technically that would work too… maybe with some heat shrink over the mated pins, then zip tied down with an anchor to make sure they dont get pulled accidentally… personally i’d rather marry it to cable with JST header
