Please log in for more thread options I want to combine the functionality of two PlayStation controllers. I want the digital pot controllers (mini joysticks) from one controller and the button configuration for the other. I don't want the controllers physically combined just functionally. I tried cutting the cords on the both controllers and splicing them together into one plug. When I tried to use the controller they were completely dead. I am a pretty sure that the solder joints on the splices were good and the wires on the two controllers seemed to follow the same color scheme though one of the controllers had one more wire which I hooked to the correct pin-out. I used a lead free silver solder with no flux but the contacts seemed good. My best guesses as to why it does not work are: 1) The PlayStation does not put out enough power for both controllers. 2) The controller put out digital instead of analogue signals and they are interfering with each-other. Does anybody know why this attempt failed or have a suggestion as to how I can get the joysticks on one controller to work with the buttons on a separate controller. I only have basic equipment and a small budget but there is a good electronics store and a radioshack in driving distance. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Thank God I've never even been even slightly interested in such a futile endeavour. Tell me, just how important is a Sony Play Station in seeking your life's fulfilment ? Have you ever considered taking a walk (or bicycle ride) in the countryside or even attempting to 'expand' your mind by reading 'literature' for example ? Graham | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
