Did you ever get any further with this? I’m thinking about building an Arduino powered drone.

@Bob
I used solder, it was painful. I overwhelmed the delicate wire with heat and added solder and it made the connection. I may have tried shredding the tips too, to expose the conductibles.

Nice job! Those 360 headset wires a e a SOB to mess with, epoxy coated stranded 22ga (I think) with a pesky piece of loosely twisted nylon string inside the shielding. I tried to replace the new style jacks (inline mute) with the better (IMO) older ones with the brick connector at the controller. Didn’t have to take the hand off the controller to mute on the older one. Obviously they dude who designed the newer one wasn’t a gamer. How dd you get around that? Not use solder? Clip connecters?

@Weebz
looks like a fun project. I’m amazed that the classic controllers are so cheap, I think I’ll have to add a couple to my next project.

Amazing! I wonder if it would be possible to use static pads and slightly charge each pad to get a “press” to register. I want to build a button-based controller for “EDGE” (er, now “EDGY”?) by Mobigame, and interfacing with the screen buttons seems easier than trying to build a rotating rig.

Thanks for the tip. Just saw two books in the series. I gather the 3rd is in the works. Great yarns.
