Hey guys, I think I almost got it. Got everything wired up and almost everything works correctly. Except when I go into KI training mode, I canāt get RB or LB to register as an input (went for 6 buttons instead of the 8). Weird thing is, RB and LB work perfectly fine in the menu. I can even go into button config and set them to a button. But for whatever reason, even with input display onā¦ RB and LB never register at all. Itās as if I didnāt push anything. Another thing I noticed is, when I leave input display on, back out of practice mode, and go back inā¦ as soon as I enter practice mode RB and LB both register at the same time onceā¦ without me pushing anything. Then I can never get them to register again. Is it safe to assume that RB and LB are constantly being pressed? Just seems weird though that I can navigate through the in-game menus just fine with RB and LB.
Also, another thing thatās happening, and Iām assuming itās related, in the xbox interface, whenever I want to select something I have to double tap A very quickly. For instance, I can hold the guide button and it brings up the option to turn off console. I canāt just hit A on that option. If I just tap A once, a little black outline shows up on the option and goes away. But if I double tap A quickly or mash A then it will select it.
Hope someone knows what this is and hope itās an easy fix. Thanks for your help guys.
Same thing was happening to me and Grammaton.
My issue was it was pressing the view button over and over again (if you bind it to taunt or something in KI you should see your character taunt over and over again). I was able to fix it by using a different usb cable.
I think Grammatonās was to do with his triggers being pressed.
Check again, i had updated the image on page 8 (and anywhere else linking it) to show the new trigger spots.
Hm. Iām using the cable that came with the play and charge kit so I wouldnāt think there should be an issue with the cable. It works perfect with the xb1 pad. And I didnāt even bother with wiring triggers.
Iām starting to think that maybe the RB and LB buttons are constantly activating somehow. When I first enter practice mode, it shows HP+HK (which is what my RB and LB are mapped to) one time and thatās without hitting any buttons. Then after that I canāt get HP or HK to register again.
What would be a way for me to find out if I did something wrong? I desoldered the RB and LB buttons off of the PCB and connected my wires according to your guide. Soā¦ it should work. But I canāt even tell if itās actually the RB and LB buttons that are at fault. Any tips?
If your seeing HP+HK when you start practice mode but nothing happens when you press them again then that seems like theyāre being held down. Its odd though that your not seeing anything odd when pressing them in the dashboard, unless, them both being held is canceling them both out so your dashboard doesnāt move or something.
Can you put pics of the bottom and top of the RB/LB spots?
Yeah thatās the weird thingā¦ in the xbox menus RB and LB work perfectly fine. I can use them like normal. When I first plugged my stick in, before I got to KI I thought everything was perfectā¦ but was dealing with the weird A button thing where I have to mash on the button to select anything. I could even navigate the KI menus fine with RB and LB, itās just when I get into the actual game itās doing what I described above.
Yeah Iāll try to get pics here asap. I finally have a multimeter so Iām going to check the connections and find out wtf is going on. Thanks for your help again.
Ok, update. I disconnected the data connectors from the buttons for RB and LBā¦ whenever I enter training mode it still shows the HP+HK when I first enter. And I still get the weird issue where I have to mash the A button to select things in the xbox menus.
Double update. I disconnected almost every button in my hitbox. Iām still getting the RB and LB problem. I took my multimeter, set it on continuity, and touched one probe to RB contact, the other to the ground contact, and I get no beep. I was thinking that if I had a short somewhere then I would probably get a beep on the continuity test. But I get nothing. Same with the LB contact. Ugh.
Top pic, all I have for now. Iāll have to remove all of the hot glue before I can take a pic of the bottom. I no longer think itās an issue with the RB and LB buttons though. Continuity tests fine with a multimeter for those.
This is hard to diagnose without proper drivers to view whatās actually being pressed. Itās showing a face button being pressed but it could in reality be something else, like a screwed up right analog stick signal since killer instinct uses the right analog for multiple button inputs and whatnot.
You could try doing something like remapping things to taunt until you find the actual signal thatās being considered held. I donāt remember what limitations you have in training mode, itās been a while since Iāve booted it up.
I tried taking a look at your dropbox images to see if it was obviously tilted but itās hard to see with the angles and whatnot. I hope thatās the issue. If itās not the glue it could be something to do with cutting the tips, maybe it rebounded with a lot force and put it off center even before you glued it. Be real careful with that, iād use a dremel for a smooth and no-force cut.
To date, I havenāt actually glued the analog cubes save for one that was in obvious danger of potentially being touched, I cut it with heavy diagonal cutters and then made sure they were dead center before putting just some glue. The reason is that the spring action on the metal enclosure is quite stiff, youād really be hard pressed to move it while playing, and thereās a bit of neutral dead zone before any sort of engagement. Thus far, no complains on random inputs, but if there are thatās an easy fix
Alternatively, if thereās a way to do it, perhaps you can find a control scheme that ignores the right analog, if it clears your issue up thatās the obvious problem.
Good call!
Hey, Chaosphere, since you worked on your right analog stick how much you wanna bet its actually that and not LB/RB! Test it, go into KI and remap LB/RB to something else then go back in training, if you still see HP+HK then its your analog not the buttons
Hell yes that has to be it. Right analog up will break heavies so that IS it.
Hm maybe I donāt know what I should be soldering to. I just assumed the right analog worked like the left analog and soldered the outside pads to the middle pads with the resistors in between. Hopefully that makes sense.
Any suggested fixes? Were my assumptions correct on how to solder the resistors to the right analog?
Keep in mind you lifted the trace pads up on topā¦ I would be willing to bet you didnt get a good connection with the tiny bit of trace you had to work with. test it, and desolder and clean it if neededā¦ try to get a good connection and follow the directions gummo posted. (which you probably did)
also be VERY careful there. There are tiny surface mounted components surrounding those points and if you arent careful, you can overheat and they can shift off the contacts.
