Thanks I had to order some more wire so I could finish this mod since I was out, so I will finish this up in a couple days. I learned quite a bit about diodes and potentiometers doing this mod and ended up removing the LS and RS analog board and neutralizing the LS and RS as well so that only the main board is needed. This makes it so this board takes up virtually no space in an arcade stick. Ill get finalized pics up by the weekend hopefully and don’t worry I am not good at cable management either, all that matters is that it works.
Finished it up. Everything is working wonderfully, if you have any questions about any part, let me know and I will help the best I can.
Honestly my first time soldering wires directly to an IC, so when I press L2 it works, but when I press R2 I get both L2 and R2 pressing. All other buttons have no trouble. I am wondering where this feedback is coming from
now im getting flickering when either is pressed, but all connections are more than soldered. https://i.imgur.com/4d0R6mJ.jpg
Alright, the buttons connected to the IC stay on without flickering, but any contact with the button makes them flicker.
The X and Y rotation light up on my pc’s horipad properties, but I don’t know it’s reference.
So looking at the pic of your IC, I don’t see any resistors going from your vcc to 1A or 2A, this may be causing flicker but I could not tell you as I haven’t had that experience.
X rotation and Y rotation refer the the l2 and r2 buttons.
I believe R2 is y rotation and 8 and L2 is x rotation and I believe 7
If these are lit up, it means that they are currently active(being pressed). put in the resistors and give your wiring a once over.
The pad in a completely neutral state(no buttons pressed and analogs centered) should look like this.
No problem. Glad it all worked out
Hey Sikwidit, how many watts were the resistors that you used?
So dumb question, Where did this PCB came from.
Its been a while since I did a PS4 padhack and not a brooks PCB.
is a ds4 fake
I hope you did not spend much on it
I bought it used for $10, I soldered the USB cable but Windows does not recognize it
Hello sikwidit, thanks for share your work.
I have a doubt, you said:
-connect the ADC point from the pcb to pin 14 on the chip
-connect R2 and L2 to pin 2 and 4 on the chip
-connect pin 1 and 3 to their respective buttons
-connect 7 to ground
But there is no resistor, and in the pictures I can see them. What’s the value and were should I connect them?
I dont suppose anyone knows much about the gg xrd pad here?
I made my ps4 stick with the board years ago and the start button came loose. I opened to solder which I havent done in years and lifted the solder point. Is there any point on the other side I can solder to?
You have to follow the trace to another solder point.
