Re: How to make a rechargable battery pack?
Not particularly, and there are loads of places online that will have many different kinds, from some that just sell batteries to other hobby type places like RC cars/planes and such that have them as well. It will mainly depend on the amount of space you have to work with as well as how many mAh yo...

Re: How to make a rechargable battery pack?
No battery is going to last forever, so at some point you'll be replacing it no matter what you use. The simplistic thing to do would be to just use a couple of Rechargeable AA/AAA batteries and build the charger into the thing. You can Google a pile of different battery chargers that work off a USB...

WaXebird Controller PCB
Here's the Wavebird version of the X boards that I've done. The 36X and DuXe being the other ones. This was the first render after getting the board outline roughly done. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f320/RDCXBG/WaXebird/WaXebird000.jpg Couple more after adding in everything. I decided to make ...

Re: TurboBooster Plus one component unknown IC
L = Inductor, C = Capacitor, so those LC components are an Inductor/Capacitor network, most likely used as filters. If there is no part number on the Zener Diode, you can check it's voltage with a Resistor and a variable power supply. The uPD65000 series of chips are Gate Array ICs. While there's no...

Re: Question about LiPo battery + charge circuit
If it has Poly in the name anywhere, then it's a LiPo battery. I personally wouldn't recommend that battery, as it has no protection board built onto it. Look for one that already has that, as it's a requirement for that type of battery (it has this in the Tips section of that page there also) It's ...

Hey Paul, Would something like this work? http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f320/RDCXBG/Arcade%20Sticks/TimController030.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f320/RDCXBG/Arcade%20Sticks/TimController031.jpg I made that for a gamer awhile back that also had no hands.

Re: DuXe Controller PCB
I get what you mean there, but that's still putting the horse, as well as whatever is in the cart, way in front of the cart. Putting the contacts on the board for some mechanical mess that hasn't even been tried yet is again, a huge waste of time and an almost guaranteed fail. If the new buttons wer...

Re: DuXe Controller PCB
There's a crossed wire here somewhere, or you're just wanting to do twice the wiring that's necessary. ;) Adding more contacts isn't an option for anything but having to do more work. It doesn't make anything easier or the board able to accept more buttons. You're wanting a 'blank' board made up to ...

Re: DuXe Controller PCB
The board wont need any additional contacts as those will need to be wired from the Wii U's controller directly. Now if I was making up a drop in replacement board with the parts from the Wii U already on the WaXebird board, then pads would need to be added so you could have access to those controll...

Re: DuXe Controller PCB
Gotcha. You send a Wavebird controller for me to tear apart, strip down and measure up, and I'll make up a WaXebird PCB. Which is just the board with the spots to solder up whatever you want to it, like the 36X and DuXe there in the first post. Making up one that has the Wii U's guts all transferred...

Re: DuXe Controller PCB
Make a what now? A Wavebird in the Duke shell? or something else there? Also, just FTR, there are now 3 types of PS3 3 pin sticks, the original ones in the pre DualShock 3 controllers, the Asuka type (which are a little larger) and the latest are in the newest VX6 version controller, which are again...

Re: DuXe Controller PCB
Mainly because I was on the 'blank' board kick from doing the 36X (I also started an X-controller board, for the S-controller) but also the same reason as any of the other controller work I've done, just to see if I could. This was also done in case I ever want/need to make up another Wired or Wirel...

Re: 3PS60 Controller, Wired 360 controller in PS3 shell
I'd imagine there is some PS3-ish looking 360 controller made by some 3rd party company somewhere, but I haven't gone looking for one and I'm sure it wouldn't be close to how the PS3 shell feels if that's the main concern. You may want to look into using a PS2 controller and PC adapter also. No idea...
