Post by simon66 »

Ok I cut my snes controller and now I was wondering how can I reconnect it. Here is a picture of how I cut it.

Red = Ground
Black = Right
Yellow= Left
Blue = Down
Purple = Up
Pink = Left Trigger

Correct me if im wrong. But how can I connect it to this microcontroller? Here is my pic.

Can some one plz tell me how I can reconnect it? Thnx

Yellow= Ground
Brown = Y
Purple = B
Red = A
Green = X
Dark Red = Right Trigger

BTW. This is for my portable.

Also, You could wire tact switches straight to the IC instead of using the controller, that might be easier for you.

Thnx for ur help m8. I just have one more question. I put a whole on my portable and choped my snes controller put everything back together, but I accidentaly glued the controller up side down. Here a pic.

Image

as us can see on my picture, the down button will be set to right, and the right trigger will be set to down and so on. I was wondering if I soldered them to set down to down and right to right, will it cause any problem? Thnx

You need to wire up to the one that would be what you would want to hit for up. So you should probably wire it this way

Down you should wire as Left
Right you should wire as Down
Left you should wire as Up
Up you should wire as Right

What do you mean? Do you mean like you can't find where to wire to the green board the IC is on? You can wire straight to the little silver posts coming from the IC...

So for ground you would wire to this

Clear pictures of the way you wired it all up would be immensely helpful.

OK nvm... Got it to work... This is how I did it. I scraped that black paint off the board and cleaned it with alcohol, then I drilled a whole just beside the exposed wire, and soldered there. Now is working! I sent pic to Kurt and he could'nt find the problem. Thnx all for your help!
