C-Stick as buttons

Post by ToastBucket »

This is probably answered somewhere I just couldn't find it. I saw some portables with gamecube C-sticks as C-buttons. How do you do this?

This is pretty useful! Maybe I will do this with a future mod!
What's there to say? I haven't made anything special!

What do the resistors do and where do they solder to? do they go to ground?

This mod would definatly save some space inside your portable but can you hold the c stick in an upward left angle and that would be the equivilant of pressing the left and up c buttons at the same time? Any way I prefer the c pad over the c stick.

Resistors are connected to the middle pins. They are used to make the c-stick more sensitive (I think).

^ Is the symbol for ground. So yes, the resistors go to ground. Here is a good list of symbols used in schematics

No. I'm pretty sure it registers a button press in the direction it is closest to. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

It's right there in the image he made - between 6.8k and 8.2k, depending on the stick and your preferences.
