Can you get a pic of the board? Its possible that that controller could be 'sensing' on the ground side, in which case instead of having a 'central ground' you would have a 'central positive'... so ...

You guys are real lucky that you can all just solder all the grounds to one place. For some reason on my superman controller, I couldn't solder to the ground, I had to have a live and a ground for eac ...

Is there any disadvantage with soldering only one wire to the Ground on the controller, then having that wire wrap around a screw located inside the pad? The grounded arrow wires would then go to thei ...

I used some clear double-sided tape. It should work fine. Also, I finished my ABX-1000 today!!!! Total time- 8hour construction for 70$!! I'll post pics later. Now I can finish my site.

Just an update I am basically done with my ultra thin pad. I don't know how much it weighs exactly as I haven't yet put on the plexi panels, but it is pretty damn lightweight. I finished the wiring ye ...

Kind of an interesting question, Is it possible to wire a Homepad for more than one Console.

For Example: I currently have a Xbox, but might get a ps2 etc.

That's actually pretty simple. All yo ...

nice guide. I didn't really feel like reading through it all as my pad is almost done (I'll be finishing up on the weekend), and I don't intend on making a new one soon, but the guide from what I read ...

Any chance you could post some pics?

Right now it's an unphotographable mess, but if I have time to work on it and finish up the sensors and wiring today, I'll post pics (all the wires, solder, vel ...

Were did you get cd cases that are 11"x11"? Just score it with a sharp blade, and then hold it over the edge of a table and snap it. Though if you're afraid of cracking it you might be using something ...

Ahh ok, yeah thats a good idea, screwing it all in from the top and then cutting off the bottom. I was thinking of having screws going in from the bottom attaching the base to the panels and screws fr ...

I kind of lost you, but I think I get the gist. I am 14, so I live with my parents (duh), and we have an unfinished basement (concret floor), so that shouldn't be a problem. I thought I would just use ...
