Could anyone tell me what amp terminal block I would need for dual modding an xbox one pad with a qanba stick using an imp?

[Vicko]

why use a terminal strip? solder straight to the qanba pcb

[Bush]

I want to do as little soldering as possible

Uhg wish I saw the post in time before he cut the traces. You need to of had the vcc wired up together. Otherwise if the fightpad has no power it wont have its signals in a high state, leaving them just floating.

That’s why its one of the golden rules to power all boards. You need all boards powered so all the button signals will be put in a high state. Don’t power a board an its signals wont be held high which will interfere with the signals of the other board and can cause the signal to be held low causing the button press.

Ah thatmakes sense. That must have to do with the chip the pad uses. When I modded sega genesis and snes pads to the xbox 360 fightpad. I remember I actually chopped the chips off of them.

Will remember this for next time if needed, lol. We actually severed every trace on the fightpad and is now working wonderfully wired to the xbox one controller.

Glad it works man. I absolutely love when instead of bitching about something not being able to work on a system, people take matters into their own hands and make the shit work.

The only thing I would have done differently would have been to wire the pads to a db15 or db25 so that you could also use the same pad on a ps4 padhack

Nice Frankenstein pad there.
I would of use a DB 15 connector, making the Fight pad and Xbox one PCB modular, so you can make additions without cutting wires up.
Prep another PCB the same way as the Xbone controller, and you can use the Fight pad for multiple systems.
Want to use a stick or another style controller? include a DB 15 connector and you can swap the pad for the stick or what have yous.

This is the pinout I have so far for the pin connectors. I prob wont have access to a xbox one for a while so I won’t be able to test out if the main pcb can still function without the second pcb.

This is how I numbered the connector pin's

Is this diagram set up as if I am looking down it? Just want to make sure Im wiring to the correct pin. I burned my B, X and Y contact so this is my last hope. Thanks and happy turkey day.

The diagram is set up so that the “*” (asterisk) above pin number 1 corresponds to the big white dot that’s above the notched corner of the connector. Rotate and flip as needed.

Would this work? Solder the directions and button to the points on the qanba pcb and use a seperate usb to power the XO pcb? I wanna pad hack my qanba but was dreading dual wiring everything.

Ahhh…thanks

You wont find b on the connector. You’ll need to follow the trace to a small exposed contact spot or its via.

Good Idea. Looks dont matter to me, its the feel and its flawless. Just waiting for some official pads and sticks later down the line. This will work fine for now.

[ed1371]

@superchargedDave he called it that because its a term of endearment… frankenpads are something that RTDesign was making and was totally cool.

wish I was still in San Diego area… you go to ofc/SDFG? I am pretty sure I have met you.

Hi guys, do u know if there’s someone in Italy or europe that do this kind of mod?

[ChaoticMonk]

Heres an attempt to consolidate the thread into a guide.

If your new to padhacking, highly recommend reading this as it goes over a lot of it http://www.slagcoin.com/joystick/pcb_wiring.html

Before you begin, test the controller out and make sure all the inputs work. Last thing you’d want to do is void it and later discover its a dud.

Start off by removing the boards from inside the pad as done in this vid (you can stop watching at 6:26).

You’ll be left with 2 PCBs shown below with the spots you’ll be connecting too (optionally you could connect to the pins shown but can be difficult due to close proximity)

http://i1154.photobucket.com/albums/p529/chaoticmonk/pcb.jpg~original

On Top Board Topside you’ll notice a ‘sticker’ on the dpad.

You’ll want to use something thin and sharp to lift an edge then you should be able to just peel it off.

Gently and carefully scrape off the black stuff at the signal points till you see shiny metal (careful not to scrap too much or you could take off the contact point).

keep going on all the signal points till you have shiny metal visible and ready for tinning.

Tin (apply small amount of solder) the signal points and wires. Can be made easier with the use of flux

Solder the wires to the signal points (put tinned wire against tinned signal point, apply heat and they should join together)

You’ll want to apply a dab of hot glue to the wire next to each solder to stop it from moving around and potentially breaking off.

When connecting the triggers (RT & LT), you’ll need to use a 100ohm resistor

The two analog cubes can be left on the board or taken off and replaced with resistors.

If leaving on the board simply cut down the grey analog pole that sticks out of the cube and while making sure its centered, apply hot glue to keep it in place.

(img credit socks)

If removing, you’ll need to replace with 4 resistors (10k ohm recommended).
There’ll be 2 sets of 3 points. You’ll need to connect a resistor from each of the outer points to the center point.

Once you have everything wired up your ready to add to your stick. The rest depends on what your setup is.

If your just doing an Xbone stick then its just a matter of connecting the wires to the button/stick and feeding a micro usb cable through.

(img credit MacabreMonster)

If adding to an existing setup with other boards you’ll either want to use a seperate usb cable for xbone and leave the existing usb for your current setup
or you’ll need to add a switch to determine where the usb should go (could be an actual switch or an Imp board).
Just make sure every board has power (VCC) and ground connected to it or you’ll run into issues with buttons pressing by themselves.

Good luck!

[Gummo]

good work.

Did i miss the part before that said the data lines need 33ohm resistors?
