Aloha.
Sorry if there is already an thread like this one, but i just havent found one, which answers all of my questions.
Like I wrote in the titel, I will build my own Arcade Stick. I have an original Xbox 360 wired controller ( It is the new version ! ).
Now my questions:
-
How can I get the trigger-buttons on the back of my pcb off, without damaging the pcb itself. Any suggestions ?
-
The late version of the controller has CG ( Common Ground ). What exactly means common ground ? At the early version of the controller every 2 buttons needed to be “grounded”, i know that. How many ground-wires do i need with the late version, is it just 1 ground wire for all of the buttons ?
-
Where do I need to solder my common ground ? When i look at the picture ( http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_diagrams/360_diagram1.jpg ) i can see only 1 red ring around the ground of the back-button. Is that the common ground for the whole controller ?
-
I cant really tell what they ripped off of the trigger-buttons on the picture ( http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_diagrams/360_diagram1.jpg ), thats why, i cant really tell, what the right signals for LB & RB are. Are they under the trigger buttons, so i cant see them ? So i need to take them off, right ? To get back to number 1, how can I get those off ?
I know i have a lot of questions.
I hope someone can help me, my Buttons and the Stick will arrive in a few days and i want to know all I have to till then.
thanks & greetings, korosuuu.
