Part 5: Pad Mounting, Wiring and Finish

Hi,

today the stick arose to life! I've mounted the xbox360 controller pcb and made the wiring. Wiring will not win the beauty price, but hoewever: it works very fine.

Button configuration is now:

LT; X; Y; LB
RT; A; B; RB

I've observed that while testing street fighter IV (what else???) that functionality of stick depends on the controller configuration used in the game. Since I was using gamepad configuration buttons was only working in configuration menus, but not(!) in game.

I switched the configuration to Arcade Board and all was fine. This was a little bit disturbing. Used Configuration is

- Arcade Board
- Layout B

Okay, here're the pics.



Wiring and placing the pcb.


Fixing all the parts. Common ground mod is on top on breadboard.





The black plexi is really beautiful.
