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.
