So I’m fairly certain that I have everything wired correctly aside from not having the Xbone PCB attached, since that hasn’t arrived yet. I can’t imagine that being a problem however and causing the drivers to turn up that way, when if I connect just the PS360+ to my PC it works fine. Any ideas what could be wrong?
That’s my setup for the two boards. I have the wires set up for the LT, RT, and B button when the board shows up, but they aren’t connected to anything yet on the side that goes to the PCB.
Those USB out wires look pretty thin, long, and spliced.
I’d remove that and use the USB jack directly to test with, and then go directly to the solder points with a cut end of a USB cable if you need to, although really you should be able to just run a micro B to A cable that’s decent in length out the box just fine.
Yeah you can’t tell from that angle but that spliced wire isn’t the USB out if you’re talking about the wires soldered in to the bottom of the Crossbone, the USB out is the USB cable that I had for my TE in the first place. Do you still think that that could be the problem?
Impedance is a pain in the arse. It wouldn’t hurt to beef up the USB wiring going from the PS360+ to the Crossbone.
Also make sure you do not get Data + and Data - backwards
For now definitely try just using a micro B to A cable, makes things a hojillion times easier. Once you’ve confirmed that it may be a good time to swap to a new cable.
Oh also. Are you holding down the SWITCH input when trying out the full setup (looks like it’s going to Home), and does the control panel with the home button on it have power/ground?
You can, as a test, move that jumper wire from Home directly to Ground to make sure it swaps to the secondary system.
Trying it with a micro cable didn’t work. And yeah everything in the stick is totally functional when just the PS360+ is connected, including home and player LED’s, and I know that it works while the Crossbone is connected too because holding Home tries to put it into the PS360+ mode where it shows up as the Unknown Device
I tried replacing that cable that connects the two with a regular cut USB A-B cable that I plugged into the PS360+ and connected to those pins on the Crossbone and it’s still the same result :\
Also with both the Micro USB and the switched out other cable it still does it. This kinda sucks. I’m just hoping it’s because the Xbone PCB isn’t there.
I had a similar issue. It turned out that my Crossbone had an issue that caused a severe power drop from the ps360+ due to a resistor that came from the factory with a cold solder. I had to track it down using a voltage meter and Phreak helped me pinpoint it. Before then, the only way I could get my ps360+ to register correctly within windows was cut the wire down to 3 foot. Also, make sure you are plugging your USB cord into the motherboard of your PC and not to a front panel or expansion panel. That still causes issues with my setup. I currently can only use a 10 foot and very thin USB cable (none of the thicker ones work) or a 7 foot thicker (monoprice/amazon basic) cable. But that was only after I fixed the resistor issue.
I just tried the shorter micro USB and changed SYS 2 wire combo through a back USB port on my desktop and still no dice. Sooooo, that sounds like a fun thing to figure out, I have a voltage meter but have next to no idea how to use it lol. Could you point me in the right direction of finding the problem?
Sure. This is the main thread for the Crossbone and troubleshooting issues. You can read through that as there are others similar issues. I believe the start of my troubleshooting starts on page 6 and I add a bunch during the whole thing and it might give you a good idea how to use your voltage meter. GL.
