The continuing adventures of the XBOne padhack

Tech Talk

So, I have been wondering about how I might light my buttons on my padhack if I decide to go down that route later.

So would love some input from people with more knowledge on XBOne pad hack setups.

Thought 1: I’m assuming self lit buttons would just work, yes?

Thought 2: Assuming I want the lights to trigger when the rumble feature is activated, could I wire LED’s into my rumble motor contact points successfully?
If I could I’m assuming I may need resistors or the like as not to detonate the lights, what would I be looking at in this regard?
Extending on this idea, does anyone know if all rumble motors trigger at the same time?

Thought 3: More about internal lighting for my box, how would this best be achieved?

And on a slightly different note, I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere on here before, but if anyone could link me I will love you forever, wiring up a battery pack for an xbone padhack?

What are you getting at?

Does not work like that unfortunately. Rumble motors possibly require a certain amount of power, and you are tapping that power for LEDs.
I think more circuitry is involved than just adding a LED and a resistor to prevent LED burnout

It depends on what the game in question calls for at the time, usually No.
The motors are independent of each other.

Are you trying to lite up vents and steams, because thats all you get unless you find a aftermarket clear shell.
