Controller Question

Post by beastlyballer33 »

I dont get it. I know the wires are attached to the controller's main board but what needs to be at the other end for it to work? in other words how do i set up a button to respond to a function with the extended wires? sorry if this is extreme novice

Okay.. so on a normal untouched controller, when you push down a button it basically completes a circuit so that the controller knows that you pushed the button. to relocate the buttons, you need to recreate that same thing at the other end. Using something like THIS will allow you to.. ..so basically you wire two of the legs on the push button to the controller board on either side that the button should push down when pressed normally. so now when you push the push button you wired in the circuit will complete itself the same as if you were using the controller as it was originally.

I'm not that amazing at explanations, but hopefully that made sense
