Fresh hacks every day
This wiring nightmare lets [H. Smeitink] map all the buttons from an Xbox 360 controller to his PC. It gives him the ability to push control input from his PC to the console. But it goes a step further than that because it actually acts as a pass-through device. He connected a wired controller to the computer and uses a program he wrote to translate those inputs and send them to the hacked … [Read more...]
[Shawn McCombs] has been spending some time refining his Xbox 360 rapid fire hack. This time around he's got a lot more features, many of which we haven't really seen before. When we looked at the original project he had added an ATtiny85 which read a potentiometer to set the rapid fire speed for one of the buttons. This time around he's opened up settings for individual weapons in the game. … [Read more...]
Finally the 13-year-old on Battlefield 3 will get their comeuppance [Shawn] sent in his fully adjustable auto-fire mod for an XBox360 controller. It's pretty simple - just an ATtiny85 soldered to a button with a pot to adjust the rate and switch to turn it on and off. It could have been done with a 555, but this is good enough. Now one for the PS3 bronies [Capt-Nemo] loves and … [Read more...]
[Shawn] wrote in to share his post outlining the addition of rapid fire to an Xbox 360 controller. He's going all out with this mod by including a pretty beefy microcontroller. But you get a lot of functionality for that. You can just make out the trimpot below and to the right of the green A button. This tweaks the speed at which your right trigger repeats. Next to the trimmer is an amber LED … [Read more...]
[Peter Skaarup's] been re-living the past by playing old-school games in DOSBox. He's using a mouse as the controller but longed for the auto-fire button that many joysticks used to have. Instead of looking around for a gamepad with this feature he decided to add an auto-fire button to the mouse. He incorporated a PIC 10F200, along with a momentary push switch and a transistor. The push switch … [Read more...]
Ever find yourself in the middle of a Game Boy game and your hand cramps up? Save that sore wrist for something else because now you can hack the Game Boy Advance to add Rapid Fire for the B button. [William] has developed a way to do this by creating a simple circuit that generates a square wave on the B button when it is pressed. To do this hack all that was needed was a short shopping … [Read more...]
AcidMods is at it again. They just can't bare having to push the fire button over and over on their own. They've made a rapid fire mod for the wii. They said the mod wasn't too difficult as Nintendo labeled everything nicely on the PCB. We like that they have added the back light on the button to tell you that you're in rapid fire mode. [Thanks Mark] … [Read more...]
