…Broken?

Still no response from the controller. My code is AVR ASM, I’m pretty sure it would work. I also tried some C code I found on the internet – no response (my ASM code uses the hardware SPI module, the code I found on the internet just uses the PORTs/PINs. That makes me think the controller is broken. It still works at the computer though. Maybe I’ve blown some PORT fuses in the controller. I’ll have a friend of mine check whether the controller works on his PS2 tomorrow. Maybe I can get another controller then, too. I fear that only the original Sony controller work at 5V :/ . I have to be more carefull with the next controller I get. I still have to finish the chemistry stuff, I’ll get back to some more coding after that. There’s still a lot of work to do that can be done without a controller. Things like buffers and so on.

Here It Is!

Got a PC/PS3/PS2 controller today. Not the one I ordered though. I guess it wasn’t good to buy that one since it seems to be out of specs. There’s a 7805 in it and it only supplies 5V if that 9V dualshock motor line is connected (it doesn’t have dualshock). Still I only receive 0xFF from the controller. I don’t know where the problem is. I fear that I broke the controller when trying to drive it at 5V. Not sure about that, though, since it still works with my PC. I just don’t know where the 0xFF comes from, actually it should pull the data line to gnd and output me some data. A transistor inside the controller also seems to do that but my µc always reads 1.

Where Is My Controller!?

Still  not here at least!!! I can’t go on working without this thing since I don’t know if the code I’ve made so far works at all. This sucks that bad! I ordered that shit a week ago and still I don’t have it. I’m really upset right now. >.<

At Least Something…

Today I received the extention cables. I cut one of them and soldered some pieces of conductors to the wires. The next thing is implementing some SPI code.

I quickly hooked it up to a little breadboard with a µc on it:

Okay, ISP is connected. That means, for the beginning there’s enough hardware. Let’s read the ATmega8 doc and start coding.

Okay, I implemented everything needed to get a signal from the controller. Hopefully it works.

Still No Hardware

I bought the PS2 controller on monday but I still haven’t received it. They eMailed me on tuesday to tell me that they sent it. If I don’t have it by tomorrow I’ll start making some SPI code. It may work without testing as long as I’m very careful. But it just has to be here tomorrow…actually. The only problem is – school ._. . Have to do some chemistry stuff tomorrow, I hope I’ll be able to finish that off fast.

Looking For Ideas

Hey,
I’m desperately looking for something to develop. Should be something about hardware. I don’t like working with consoles too much because there’s pretty much nothing documented. I just have no idea. Leave a comment or write me an eMail if you have any :].

Thanks

Welcome To My New Blog

Hey,

this is my new blog. I will write about the things I develop on here. Feel free to leave a comment or write me an eMail whenever you find something I do interesting. I’m looking for new ideas all the time, too. Just a little more about myself: I’m a 15 years old german guy trying to finish off my school as best as possible. But I also develop things as long as possible. You may know me from that PS/2 Mouse connected to the PSP thing already, that’s the kind of stuff I like to do. Let’s see what this blog leads to.

BTW: I also added two projects already, check out the Projects page ;) .
