What the fuck just show where to connect the wires that’s all I ask for no need for tech no bull shit, if you don’t fucking know how just say hey guys I brought a kit maybe you should ask someone else not e=mc square and thats it how the fuck did you get e=mc square

Listen my clan named Sinister needs a sponsorship. Were amazing we aren’t top 50 but in one day we got to 4-1. I promise you, you won’t be mistaken. If you need some proof i record videos so you can see us play. We are good, but we need a sponsorship to go to Columbus, Oh for the MLG event. Please contact me at Stuhbility@gmail.com

Where can you get all the parts needed to do this mod? I would like to give it a try. Can they all be purchased at radio shack.

No sir marco.. the problem is not with the program as we would just look for other ways to do it.. and it works for many games.. Also if you limit the speed of the trigger then your capping the game to people with diffrent abilities as I have seen some gammers with natural unbelievable speed

If I get that right from the video, the reason that this works at all is that CoD4 is programmed poorly and allows for shots to be fired at arbitrary rates? If they were to query the buttons once per frame it would prevent any speedups.

now you just got to tell us how we can get our hands on some of those pre-programmed halo 3 pic’s :) and when we can get them, my engineering exams end next week and id love to try some of these things out. My last rapid fire controller mod using a cmos 555 timer, a 555 timer and using npn ,pnp transistors didnt work that well in the long run.

Pic sounds like a kick ass way to do it, if only my altera DE2board could program pic’s id be pretty happy

Also for those who think you can just wire to to the buttons and go. hahahaha know what a floating pin is? if you like random stuff happening leave off the resistors and watch the magic…

Hey Iâm new to PIC programming but I have learned so much from this project. Iâm sure that some of you engineers can do things better then me but not to be arrogant, you didnât! The fact is we worked hard on this. I didnât research anything about the controllers on line I pulled out a meter. I didnât know that Microsoft changed the design I learned that along the way. So in a way yeah I reinvented the wheel a bit, but from what I taught myself I can tell you a lot about how both versions of this controller work. Also we know that there are better PICs out there and that they have internal osolators but we made it work with little to no space loss and I have to say that it really kicks butt when my 50cal sniper rifle can pop out three rounds before you get the chance to squeeze the trigger a second time and with less kick. Remember itâs not just that we installed a PIC we also wrote some kick butt code and tweaked it to work with a few popular games. I want to thank Imagesco.com to for the programmers and PICâs

I can confirm what cyberpyrot is saying about the difficult of working with these controllers. I too tried transistors, and reed relays, among other things and failed to get them to work effectively as a switching mechanism (go read my project notes on Xbox-Scene if you don’t believe me).

I ultimately went with some “analog switches” since I had a bunch laying around. if those didn’t work I was going to attempt using tri-state buffers but I never got a chance to see if those would work (I’m guessing they probably would).

In any case the new controller design is much easier to work with if you plan on doing any controller hacking.

As for the Pic Parts we recieved the parts from a sponsor Imagesco.com so free trumps cheap anyday :D We lovvssss our free crap…..

Thanks Tim….twistedsymphony your absolutly right the board we have had success with we where able to pulse high to the corosponding buttons. As for the rest of you guys nothing is as easy as it may seem we thought of adding NPN transisters for simple switches.. Reed Relays are not an option as there would be a delay.. There seems to be some Analog pulse on the common hot/ground and when I say common hot and ground the buttons share ground and the buttons share hots in pairs so ther is some voltage measurment or some sort of analog pulse….

Good idea. Nice project. Thoughts:

PIC16f84A - What year is this?

ok, fine…. every single button is basically a switch, that connects 2 (or more) contacts together! all your doing by modding a controller is bypassing the switch with your own switch, with different parameters! the switch could be a transistor, or even a relay!

as for all the other components, and the chip, you could just use a picaxe chip… this is alot easier to program then having to worry about hex code (uses basic type code), oh, and it has a timer!

so for example… if your button is pushed… the chip sends a current to a transistor, allowing the terminals of the original buttons to be connected. substitute the transistor for a relay if u really want :)

hope that helps a lil :)
