When there is a common ground, do you only have to solder 1 wire to any of the ground locations on the PCB?
Then make certain that the ground wire from that point is attached to the ground on each of the buttons/joystick, all daisychained?
Also, for the shoulderbuttons, do you have to remove the little button there and then solder into the holes left behind?
i got my hrap 3 working on my 360 but now when i play on ps3 its as if all the buttons are pressed any1 know where i fcked up and is it eacy to fix im about to give up and just buy another hrap 3 and keep the one i did just for the 360
hmm, Iām going to go out on a limb and say that most, if not all, 360 controllers will not work on a ps3ā¦
I am using the ps3 pcb for ps3 lol
Oh, do you have both PCBās in there at once?
Yes, you didnāt read the ā2 pcbās in one stickā¦possible?ā thread.
You made the exact same mistake everyone who doesnāt read it makes.
Hi guys im currently building a stick and need advice on this pcb.It has no resistor bridging.Is it still usable or should I get a different pad.

hi guys, iāve attempted hacking an early version of the official xbox 360 wireless controller pcb, for my custom arcade stick. For some reason only the guide, back and start buttons work. None of the other buttons, including the joystick work. I donāt know what the problem is as all the joints seem solid and iāve connected all the points as in the guide. However, i have only soldered the one common ground point and connected all the other ground points via a connecter block. Please help guys, thanks
your problem is that there is no one common ground. IF you look at the diagram, each ground is colour codedā¦ there are multiple common grounds.
Is the ps1 dual shock the easiest way to go.Im making the stick for my ps3.Will there be any lag with the usb adapter.
so, whats the best thing for me todo? shall i get the late version of the xbox 360 controller. Or i could mod my ps3 controller as i also have a ps3. Is the ps3 the best option and does the ps3 controller have common ground issueās?
thanks
late model xbox controllers have common grounds for everything, thatās the way to go 
I just purchased this pad to use in an arcade stick, but im having troubles understanding the diagram.
Is it a common ground pad?
Do I need to have 1 ground for the d-pad and one seperate ground for the buttons?
If it is a common ground pad, all the things marked as common, do I just use any one of my choice for the ground? Or am i not reading it correctly.
Heres the pad
Yesdan007:
So what kinda success are you having with soldering the wires to the contacts?
What wire are you using?
Whatās your procedure for soldering?
This is where Iām having troubles 
Your link is broken man 
If all the buttons share a common ground, you should wire it like so
This one should work sorry
found a salution to my problem a sledge hammer never been more satisfied
Not a common ground pad
That thurr is not considered a common ground pad, you can see all the different colors shown for the various grounds, any circled that are of the same color are common to eachother.
For example, Back(BA), Right(RI) and LeftClick(LC) are all cyan in color and are all common. They can be wired together to the same ground, but they must be seperate from the rest of other grounds.
Your link doesnāt work, but Iām assuming you meant this:

No, that is not a common ground. Each blue circle is the signal point, and the color of the text indicates where the other wire from the button needs to run to. For example, RB, up and down share a common, left and LB share a common, X and A share a common, etc. Youāll need six different chains, going to only 2-3 buttons each, and this will not work with a JLF without cutting traces on the JLFās board.
(edit) and I got beat by like three peopleā¦ 
Right, update. first i had only used 1 common ground for all buttons and the joystick. Doing this i only got guide, back and start working. Then i soldered a seperate common ground point for buttons A, B, X, Y, LB and RB and they are now working but the joystick, which is sharing a common ground point with guide, back and start buttons is not working, but they are. So i donāt know what it is. The wire i am using for my joystick is 30 awg kynar wire and the wire iām using for my buttons is 22 awg bell wire, which i brought from maplins, UK. I may just try and get hold of a late version 360 control pad tomorrow and see what happens with that.
