XBOX 360 CONTROLLER DRIVER WINDOWS 10 BLINKING KEYGEN
Other than that, this project is mostly a wiring job. It also plays the Xbox boot animation when powered up. Its purpose is to monitor the state of the power switch (a tactile pushbutton) and to send the sync command to the RF module when that button is pressed. The microcontroller doesn't handle anything USB related, thankfully. Note that the RF module runs on 3.3V, not 5V that normally provided by USB, hence the 3.3V linear regulator. You can snag the schematic in PNG or Encapsulated Postscript (EPS) formats. (I knew I left that extra space there for a reason.) Some creative soldering and double sided tape was all I needed to fix the issue. Thankfully nothing burned out when I plugged it in. Turns out I got the footprint for the linear regulator wrong. Don't base your wiring on the photo below, check out the diagram further down!)
(Note that the RF module connector footprint on the carrier board is actually placed on the opposite side of the board in this photo. I wouldn't use this trick in a professionally developed device, but it works well enough for my purpose. The other side was held apart by wires soldered through the holes left by the (removed) connector on the RF module, and a duplicate of that footprint on my board. A stack of washers acted as a spacer to keep the boards apart. I had to use M2 button head socket cap screws in order to fit under the Microsoft-supplied light pipe face plate. I used a prexisting mounting hole to hold one end of the board. What I did was build a small carrier board to hold a USB-B jack, 3.3V linear regulator, and a microcontroller to manage the LEDs and trigger the sync operation: I picked up one that appeared to be in good shape for $20 shipped. Searching 'xbox 360 as is' on eBay turned up a large selection of consoles in various states of disrepair. He laid the ground work that everybody else built on in subsequent tutorials. The first person to do this (that I am aware of) is dil Andou check out his documentation here. A brief search indicated that Microsoft once offered a USB 'base station' for the wireless Xbox 360 controllers but apparently discontinued it a while ago.ĭuring my search I ran across reports of people pulling the RF module out of consoles and just soldering USB cables to them. I wanted to use the wireless controllers with my desktop computer the console represents a significant chunk of cash that is otherwise doing nothing, at the very least I'd like to put a part of the kit to good use. In this case, I have an Xbox 360 collecting dust in storage. Well, commercial 'white box' hardware in general but game consoles offer relatively high-end computational parts in readily available and somewhat inexpensive packages. I've always been interested in repurposing game consoles. Connecting a salvaged Xbox 360 RF module to a desktop computer Last Update: March 31, 2015
