problems -_- (work log)

[hailrazer]

So i started to solder very very thin wires to the traces and i found out if the solder comes in contact with more than one trace then dont use a braid! it just smuged and got on more traces so i spend 10 min. getting it off with a solder pump and after that was all done i started to solder and in another 15 min. i only had 2 wires done >:(

Yea I use 30 gauge and a pencil tip on my iron and I have done 5 and it still takes me 2 hours minimum. LOL

Keep at it

haha i use a magnifier glass to see better it helps a lot and speeds up the process but on the down side it sort or messes up my hand eye coordination so i burn my hand twice now i only have about 10 wires done and i am not sure what wire i am using its was in my storage room and i think it's 30 gauge (yes i know i said i would post no pics but too bad i have not soldered the battery onto the system yet cause im gonna do that last and my screen comes 2morrow XD):
oh and i forgot this is a random question can i use a gamecube controller stick for the n64 cause i dont like the feel of the regular stick?

[nachoz12341]

crap ok then anyone know how to wire the c-stick to a 3ed party controller ?

[MigueLLLLL]

so im stuck here should i use my 3ed party controller and use the nice analog stick from my gamecube controller or my offical nintendo controller and use the c-stick from my gamecube

[nachoz12341]

game cube in analog honestly its better than the c stick in my opinion c stick is hard to use for specific direcitions and why not try both on the 3rd party

[geno whirl]

I would go all out and use your 3rd party controller and use a gamecube joystick AND a gamecube c-stick

[MigueLLLLL]

well i cant get the c-stick to work on the 3ed party cause when i try it always registers that i am pushing the button up

[geno whirl]

no matter what direction? have you got all of them wired up properly?

[MigueLLLLL]

no it when i start the game it automatically goes up i keep trying to rewire it but it wont work can someone help?

[geno whirl]

First, turn off the n64, unplug your controller, let it sit for a minute, then plug it back in. if it still goes up, make sure all o the connections are correct. If all else fails, desolder and resolder the connections to be absolutely sure. I remember when I used to play gamecube the joysticks would sometimes get wonky like they would just keep going a certain direction. I would unplug the controller and restart the system with the controller plugged back in and it usually worked fine.

Well I have heard that you can't use the c sticks with 3rd party controllers without a special way of wiring it. Pm sifuf and see about how he did it. If you could post his response here I would appreiciate that since I have been wondering myself.

[MigueLLLLL]

geno i keep on trying but i can figure out the right wiring >:(

[geno whirl]

Did you follow the diagram here on page 3? make sure that the negative lead is connected to the middle pin and each positive pin for the c-buttons is connected to the other pins like this:

Don't you need resistors for that to work properly?
