Twist the end of each wire to ready them for soldering. You are now ready to start soldering. Soldering to your board isn't too hard. If you look at the images, there is a small diagram to show you where the wires will end up being soldered in. Just follow the diagram and you will be set.
All of your soldering is done. Double check and make sure your solder joints are good and will not come off after some use. Another thing that I did was put a Zip Tie around the wire and hole in PCB to keep the wire from moving around too much, this should help keep your wire in place and hopefully cause less damage if it gets moved around some.
I had a little trouble here, lets hope you don't. I am not the great cutting smaller objects with a table saw.
I was able to do it but it came off the saw funny and it cut into the but a little. It looks just fine though. Lets get on to the cuts you should make. You may now put your board into your project enclosure. I suggest you screw one of the corners of the board into the standoffs inside the case. This will help it stay in place and not move around while inside the enclosure. Now go ahead and screw on your top. It can be hard the first time but after the first time its easy to pull on and off.
You are going to want to install your driver to your PC to insure it works. Your device will show up in your PC with no driver and you will need to install a driver for it. You can download the driver here. See images for help, if you need more help ask in the comments.
The images should help from then on. After you have installed the driver you are set. If you install some other programs you can use the Xbox controller as a mouse which can be handy. I mainly built this for playing games on PC, mostly racing games because it is hard with Keyboard and Mouse. Thank you for reading my instructable and I wish you luck if you do decide to make it.
If you need any help please ask down below and I will be happy to help you within my abilities. Thanks, Carter. Participated in the Gadget Hacking and Accessories Contest. Question 10 months ago. I tried this but my PC says unknown device and device descriptor request failed. I can't update driver because of this. Can anyone help please? Reply 1 year ago. Reply 6 years ago on Introduction. Works just fine on a pi just plug it in via usb and install xboxdrv and your good. But if your only using xbox controllers your golden.
I actually don't have my Pi yet but its on the way. The d-pads on the gamepads aren't ideal for retro stuff IMO but I have them already and they're wireless.
Id love to have original controls for every retro system emulated but that's just not practical :. Reply 7 years ago on Introduction. That's great I've been meaning to update this instructable for a while, now that I have access to a better camera and a better understanding of everything I'm a freshman Computer Engineering student now.
Maybe i will this summer Hey I shot you a PM about permissions to use your images. Maybe if you'd rather get the views, I could write up a page on how to use it with my board? I think you can write that any diode from 1N to 1N is ok Reply 8 years ago on Introduction. It is the same as using a controller base you bought its just the DIY solution for someone with the spare parts Great instructable! Just out of curiosity, since the R3 has a 3.
I don't have any diodes or voltage regulators on hand so this was my only option for powering the board :P. Hey im going to try and make a cleaner version here soon and ill post pictures when i do. Great instructable though! Reply 8 years ago on Step 4. In most cases, the answer is yes. However, a cable connection can offer better speeds and stability.
The most important part of picking a manufacturer is feeling comfortable that you have chosen a reputable one. This means doing a little homework. Speak to family and friends to see if they have experience of dealing with a manufacturer and find out what they thought of them and their product. In addition, take a look at social media sites.
You will find an abundance of opinions. If they are mainly positive you are probably onto a winner! Online forums can also help you decide as there are plenty of honest opinions.
You can even find out how the company reacts to negative comments. Another critical factor is how much you should be spending on your Xbox wireless adapter. It is important to check the price of several different suppliers. This will help to ensure you are not being overcharged by any of them. While an inflated cost tells you that the supplier has an inflated profit margin or something extra on the adapter, if it is too cheap you will want to question the quality.
When buying a wireless adapter for your Xbox it is important to check the specs. Critically, wireless adapters generally need you to install a driver. This is not possible with your Xbox which means you need one created specifically for the console. This allows it to plug and play effectively. The good news is there are plenty of viable options to choose from.
