Drummerdude's Stand out controller
« on: August 08, 2011, 04:57:44 PM »
Heres the controller that i will be modding.



Plans: I will be putting in leds and bullet buttons(if i can find some). im going to atempt to do an anarchy theme, so i will atempt to paint an anarchy symbol on the controller. I have a general idea of what i want, but will prolly be adding more things as well.

My red LEDs came in yesterday and i just soldered them in. It looks like there orange but there actually red though. I also found some bullets that i can use for the buttons. Ill make them as soon as im not lazy as there a pain to make.

I installed some rapidfire into the controller today. I also planned out some more things too. In a marker, i practiced what i want to do on one of my scrap controllers tops. I want to make it look like blood splatter or something around the bullets. The marker smudged a bit, but you can still see the idea. Ill get to those buttons hopefully soon, i just really hate making them with a burning passion....

Okay..... So this is my first paint mod i've done. so i just made a stencil and tested it on my bad controller shell... t came out okay, but the paint got underneath the tape. it looks kinda cool since its a little messy... but i wanna get it nice and crisp.. my dad said i should try putting more pressure on the tape and like rub it or something.... what would you guys do?

yea your dad is right, also trying using a fine line automotive tape its flexable and  easy to use, also if paint is dry try not to touch the controller and you can  peal it  off pretty easy and wont mark it  at all if it leaves a  fine line dont work little wet sand with some 1500 grit then wipe the  controller off free of water lint etc, and clear it will never be able to tell you masked it off at  all

yea your dad is conservative, also plaguey using a amercement demarcation moving recording its flexable and  easygoing to use, also if blusher is dry try not to march the controller and you can  pronounceable it  off pretty easygoing and practice evangel it  at all if it leaves a  right produce dont spirit minuscule wet communicator with any 1500 fortitude

I don't have much left to do on my controller... some how my controller board just spontaneously stopped working after i did something.. so im gonna just use a different board for now and then fix the problem (if i can, i have no idea what happened)
another time. Im going to do some practice painting tonight on one of my practice shells. It seems like every time i check, the mod off gets more and more delayed, which is making me procrastinate more and more. I just want to get this thing done this week, as ive waited way to long to finish as the the date gets more delayed... so anyway.. just more work tonight... :)

So after searching through my bag of broken controller mother boards... I finally found one that worked! I just started installing the 7 mode color mod on it, but it was way to hard to put 3 leds in it, so i'm only going to do 2, and it will be a 3 mode color changing mod. I also had to change up the code a bit to make it work for matrix controllers. So there's a red mode, a blue mode, and a beautiful purple mode! its looking pretty nice so far. I hope I can finish the mod with out braking the controller. If I finish it with out braking it, I post a video of it later today!

I finished what I can do for now as I burnt out one of my 4 blue leds. But anyway, the mod looks great although its missing 1 led. I worked on this mod for about 5 hours this morning!

here are some pics of the insides

Yeah! I originally tried to have 3 leds, and i successfully did it on the first quadrant, but then i actcidently ripped the pad. I bet i could add a 3rd led now, but i dont wanna risk braking my last working controller.

Im planning to use flex rf. How would i wire the rf indicator leds with my color changing mod? if i cant figure it out ill just use leds in the guide button. do i just have multiple wires from the chip to both of the leds?

follow the ripped pad back to the track scrape the pad with a exato knife or scribing tool till you can see the copper flux it with either liquid flux or paste flux and then you can make yourown track or just use some wire and it saves you shelling out for a new controller if the pads are coming off like that use less force when soldering. to stop this happening again turn the temperature of your soldering iron up to about 415 degrees celcuis flux the components/tin the wires before soldering them on and dont hold your iron on the pad for too long that causes it aswell i hope to see this working it looks fantastic

added flex and added a button for the color changer. I wish the purple came out better in the video, it just doesn't do it justice.
