oh i see ,damn i was forgot , MS drivers dont support triggers on this stick
bc i was thinking switch on ps360+ ,separate triggers from xone pcb, on computer but NOT lol o:)
i try nextime with hub ,if i can use PS360 on my laptop with TE2 KI
about jumper LED i try soldering tomorrow and see if i can control led off / on
I’ve learned that the Golden Rule of pad hacks is to always wire up the VCC, GND, D+, and D- for the pads, however the instructions say to NOT do this for the X1 PCB that is in the TE2. It just says to re-route the D+ and D- lines from the USB to the Crossbone (and reroute the X1 PCB D+/D- to the Crossbone as well).
I am not installing a PS360+ however, I am installing a PS4 pad.
I have those 4 wires already wired up for the PS4 pad, however do I need to do the same for the X1 PCB? Or am I good with just the D+ and D- as the instructions on the first post of this thread say?
Think of this as a puzzle. You need data to go from the USB to the crossbone, and then to each board from there. If you don’t connect USB to one pcb, how will it talk to the console?
The crossbone gets it’s power through the sockets on the XB1 PCB, this is why I say to only move D+/D-, since it’s a moot thing to move VCC/GND.
As long as you have the PS4 board wired up with VCC/GND to the crossbone’s breakout then you should be fine, supposing you followed the install instructions for the crossbone otherwise.
Cool thanks for the clarification. I figured that it got the power from the X1 PCB since the Crossbone literally connects to it and because you didn’t mention it in the directions, but I just wanted to be clear before I go power it on and fry something lol.
I haven’t wired up the PS4 pad yet, going to do it tonight. But I have the 4 wires (VCC, GND, D+, D-) already wired on the PS4 pad ready to be wired to the Crossbone.
Seriously man, good work with this. I did not realize how straight forward and simple it was until I actually had it in my hands and started soldering stuff. Really convenient.
Alright so I am having some funkiness going on with this installation and looking to see if anyone has any idea what might be causing this.
So I just put the Crossbone back on the TE2 without the PS4 pad wired up to it. Just the X1 PCB with the D+/D- and stuff all rerouted.
AI turned it on and the joystick works and everything, however my Home button isn’t working. All other buttons work fine, including Start and Select. Another odd thing, is when I press the “lock” button on the joystick, and switch from lock to unlocked, it triggers as if I held down the Home button and asks me if I want to shut down the console. That does not happen when I press the lock button and it goes from unlocked to locked, only the other way.
One thing to note is that when I was taking the plugs out of the TE2 PCB, the one wire that is on the left side that has 2 wires on it, the actual housing came off of the TE2 PCB. I didn’t even know this until I tried to put the plug back into the Crossbone and it wouldn’t fit. But, the 2 pins it was on are sticking up and the Crossbone appeared to slide right onto it no problem. I thought I would mention that in case that could be relevant.
Any ideas? I don’t really want to connect the PS4 PCB until I know what is going on with this.
Another thing I noticed is that the X1 turns on as soon as I plug the stick into the USB port.
EDIT:
Here are some more pics. I took the Crossbone off and took pics of front/back of it. You can see on the X1 PCB what I meant about the plastic sleeve thing coming off on the left side, but you can see those 2 pins sticking up there so it is still getting on top of that no problem. Kind of stuck at this point lol.
It’s going nowhere, it is just soldered in that top corner so I don’t have to try and solder it in that tight spot later on to the board. That is why I mentioned in my earlier post that I didn’t have the switch wired to anything yet and I remember the instructions saying you HAD to use it, so I was wondering if that could be causing this.
I just took everything out and reseated the crossbone, and same thing happened, so it wasn’t sitting odd on it or anything I don’t think, since it happened twice.
Also just realized I didn’t copy the link of the 2nd set of pics I took, I just put it in the post above if you wanted to check those.
So I just wired it back up, but this time I wired the switch to 1P.
Now when I plug it into the X1 with the power off, it doesn’t turn the X1 on immediately. Before when I didnt’ have the switch wired up to anything, it would turn on the X1 immediately.
BUT … the home button still isn’t working, and the lock button is having the same behavior as if I held the home button and asks me if I want to turn the console off.
Odd stuff, maybe I’ll just wire up the USB stuff from the PS4 pad and see wtf happens.
