Good tut. I'm going to do this but I'm putting ps3 sticks on my controller, so im thinking im going to have to shave down the mushroom dome on the ps3 sticks because it might hit the led. On top of that im lighting up the dome and a,b,x,y buttons. What MCD rating do the led's your using have? I'm thinking about 3000 should be good, but i dont want it to be blindingly bright. I'm also not sure if im going to have enough space for a big enough resistor, but we will see after its all done.
If I were you, while you have that soldering gun out, go to your local radioshack and pick up a few small box led's and replace the default green ones for player indicator, that was the first mod I did to my controller (other than a botched rapid fire attempt) and it looks great.
(CONT) knowledge on how to do so. For instance the 9mm buttons i'm doing i will be using a code that is available on acidmods which allows you to have the abxy buttons either a solid lit state or in different flashing states. There are pre-made programs out there for doing simply solid state lights using a pic chip so that all you have to do is press the sync button instead of removing your battery pack everytime. All of this information aside you have a great taste in style. Keep at it :D
In addition to my other post. I'm currently working on a controller with a custom lit chatpad custom ring of light, throwing leds under the thumbsticks and doing 9mm abxy's with leds in the primer pin hole. I have previously done rumble leds in the xbox dome. One thing that i will stress when you do LEDS of any type on your controller is program a pic chip to power them so you dont drain your batteries or have to disconnect them every time. Pic chips are cheap and easy to program with little
Controller looks really good. There are a few tricks with the wires that can be used, firstly the places where you will find the most room with the least amount of trouble is route them down by your rumble motors(the room in this area isnt that vital as they are trying to house the rumble motors. If you find that you are having alot of issues doing this use 30ga wire, soldering 30ga wire can be difficult but better in the overall.
@sammysososa yeah I did this project with what I had in the house.... ideally I would have used a brand new controller (not an already used one from eBay as in this TUT), and I would have purchased thin wire, stronger solder and did better work with the led placement.
sorry forgot, i mention that because you said your using 220Ohm, that means (unless you have 2 in series) that LED will burn out in a few months. (ran out of chars). This is all stuff you slowly learn the more you jump into electronics! Enjoy!
One last note :D If those are standard LEDs (they look to be) I know you used 220 Ohm resistors and that remote is nothing but USB so I assume same 5v USB power supply. A 'standard' LED (loosely standard :P) we are looking at I think 2v??? forward drop v and about 10mA amperate desired, so power - drop / amp standard OHM calculation ratio a ~300Ohm (Or more, the more the dimmer) should be used. thats for 1 LED. For 2 in series (more light) 100 should be used. 2 should be max. more not needed.
I just love it! I have been doing electronics for a long time now. I love seeing these small independent, did it myself, electronic mods. I know you stood back for a minute in awww of your new creation and its just great that more and more people are stepping into the electronics world. The possibilities are endless. Great job and keep hacking away :D
@billsmith658 Actually, different colors have different forward-voltage. Red typically has a forward voltage of 1.8, but as light frequency increases, so does voltage drop. Blue led's may drop around 3.3v.

I really need someones help..so I put two led's in with the resistors and all. Screwed the controller back together, heard a snap..opened it back up. One of the resistors had snapped in half. Now whenever I put the battery pack in, the circut board heats up and no power goes to the controller (RoL lights, or LED's)..I really need someones help/advice
@420smokindaily oh and did u use a voltmeter? wouldve took your time down considerably, possibly even cut out the need for a wiring diagram. always a good idea to have one tho.
I dont get it to u have to buy the leds then solder them somewhere near the thumbsticks or do u just buy the thumbsticks and there speical thumbsticks and they already glow?
Hei, I was wondering if you could open your controller and show us how it looks like inside, especially the soldering places, you dont have have to brake apart anything, we want just want to compare, it would be easier.
@888ExtremeKilleR888 i know where to get it type this on ebay (Xbox 360 Analog Thumbstick Lighting Kit LED Mod Stick) its not too expensive hope this helps.
@Zace66 Look up the power points for the controller, then find one to use and connect the positive to the power and the negative to the ground. Put the resistor on the positive side before the led or led chain.
@Zace66 capacitors? Take a multi-meter a probe the input lines from the connector into the controller. I dont own a 360 myself. but you should find 5v and ground. Connect the LEDs straight to those lines. Note the 'Anode' (google LED anode) is for 5v and other is ground. the resistor it doesnt matter where you put it. its not polarized.
@darkfighter7143 never mind, i understood how you put all together, but i have a question, i understand that you used a transistor so the lights switch on/off with the controller, right? what kind of transistor did u used???
@888ExtremeKilleR888 I'm not sure of any specific sites that will do it for you... now that I have done it once I am confident I could do it better (error proof) the second time. (finding the time to do so is the tricky part) - What I am saying is, in a couple months, if you would still like to get one like the one I have in this video, I could possibly make one and sell it to you.
@StillSpy hahaha Looks like I know more about electronics than you... I know that you can light even 15 LEDs with only 1.5 volts dude... anyway that keeps fucking the battery faster dumbass
That controller looks really cool i do not know much about modding controllers but i know people who buy them so it would be cool to see them use one of these id like to use it myself this controller looks amazing! wow ur really lucky
@defianceunstable No, I didn't cut the bottom off. The thumbsticks are clear on the bottom and white tipped. I just found them on eBay. Thats how they were made, clear and white, not all white, and I did not cut them, that would ruin the function of the thumbsticks all together.
where did you get the thumbsticks? I have been looking everywhere for thumbsticks like yours that have clear bases and solid colored tops, but i cant find any.
@empleh949 There's a guy that sells them on eBay. Just type into the search bar "Clear/white Xbox 360 Thumbsticks" and you should find them after scrolling down the page a bit.
Can i get that pdf please. I am currently running into some trouble cuz im also trying to light up the ABXY buttons but am not sure if the 3 volts can take it. Also do you know if a 3 volt power source will light up 3.1 or 3.2 volt LED's? thanks
@Culliganman14 I am still searching for the saved copy of that pdf that I had. I saved it somewhere, but have changed OS twice since then. And yes, a 3volt power source will power anything above 3 volts, its just that it may be dimmer. so if you have a 4 volt light on 3v power, you'll most likely not see the miniscule amount of light output. 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 should be ok though.
@KJT930 The batteries. The opposite side of the motherboard has the battery pack attached to it. there are two points on the bottom of the motherboard which is where you connect the leads for the led's.
@CODaholic1000 you have to connect them to the battery leads which are near the bottom center of the motherboard opposite the battery side (front face). It's kind of confusing, but if you are close to understanding what I'm talking about let me know and I can further help you.
@drumline064 Can u please explain me a little better on xbox live because i am leaving for europe in less thatn five days and i need to buy all the stuff soon...... so mi gamertag is AF Otto and send me a message of ur gamertag and ill show u a kinect video and ull show tell me where to connect the wires or light...
well done, there were a few things that could be done to make it better. try to use a smaller gauge of wire and if you can't find 3mm LEDs just dremel off the top of the LED it's self. In any case I'll be using your vid to me my own 360 modded controller. thanks...
@DeCrypedMonkey In retrospect, I would have done a lot of things differently haha. Smaller gauge wire is ideal; however, at the time I only had scraps lying around. Good luck with your mod though!
@MrKingguyman Yes. The brightness of the led should give enough light to shine through the relatively thin plastic even if it is coated or dyed white. Try it, it would definitely look cool :)
@silentshadow1357 little stems? I'm not sure I know which ones your talking about. Maybe if you can find what your talking about on google images you can send me a link so I can better answer your question. Sorry =/
@drumline064 well. on the LED where do you attach the wires. cause i thought there were like 2 stems on it and you attach the wire there then solder it to the controller. am i wrong. i
@silentshadow1357 oh yeah, there should be two stems (leads) to the led. one is positive and one is neg (or ground) the important thing is that you have the longest stem connected to the solder point opposite the battery. If you kind of know where I'm reffering to let me know and I'll try and get a picture or something to show you better when to solder the led.
@stevenagebenwhite go for it. make certain you understand the voltage of your setup. depending on the circuitry (parallel or series), the current draw and voltage will very. I'd assume using 12v led hookup will not work on a controller but you are free to experiment! Good luck to you

@Culliganman14 I am still searching for the saved copy of that pdf that I had. I saved it somewhere, but have changed OS twice since then. And yes, a 3volt power source will power anything above 3 volts, its just that it may be dimmer. so if you have a 4 volt light on 3v power, you'll most likely not see the miniscule amount of light output. 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 should be ok though.

what is your power source

@KJT930 The batteries. The opposite side of the motherboard has the battery pack attached to it. there are two points on the bottom of the motherboard which is where you connect the leads for the led's.

Ok so were do I connect the wire to get electricity to the light??

@CODaholic1000 you have to connect them to the battery leads which are near the bottom center of the motherboard opposite the battery side (front face). It's kind of confusing, but if you are close to understanding what I'm talking about let me know and I can further help you.

well done, there were a few things that could be done to make it better. try to use a smaller gauge of wire and if you can't find 3mm LEDs just dremel off the top of the LED it's self. In any case I'll be using your vid to me my own 360 modded controller. thanks...

@DeCrypedMonkey In retrospect, I would have done a lot of things differently haha. Smaller gauge wire is ideal; however, at the time I only had scraps lying around. Good luck with your mod though!

Does it work on solid white thumbsticks

@MrKingguyman Yes. The brightness of the led should give enough light to shine through the relatively thin plastic even if it is coated or dyed white. Try it, it would definitely look cool :)

What kind of LED. are they the smd 0603. just the surface mount ones that u use for the Ring of Light mod
silentshadow1357 9 months ago
@silentshadow1357 get 3mm leds.
devileyebrows42 9 months ago
@silentshadow1357 as long as you use 3mm (or relatively similar) size led's with a required voltage of <= 3v you should be fine.
drumline064 9 months ago
@drumline064 ok but what are the ones with the little stems called
silentshadow1357 9 months ago
@silentshadow1357 little stems? I'm not sure I know which ones your talking about. Maybe if you can find what your talking about on google images you can send me a link so I can better answer your question. Sorry =/
drumline064 8 months ago
@drumline064 well. on the LED where do you attach the wires. cause i thought there were like 2 stems on it and you attach the wire there then solder it to the controller. am i wrong. i
silentshadow1357 8 months ago
@silentshadow1357 oh yeah, there should be two stems (leads) to the led. one is positive and one is neg (or ground) the important thing is that you have the longest stem connected to the solder point opposite the battery. If you kind of know where I'm reffering to let me know and I'll try and get a picture or something to show you better when to solder the led.
drumline064 8 months ago
@drumline064 so yea what is the LED with the leads on it called
silentshadow1357 8 months ago
i think this would better with a 12v smd 0603 I think I will do this tonight and load a vid up im pretty sure I can make an easier mod

@stevenagebenwhite go for it. make certain you understand the voltage of your setup. depending on the circuitry (parallel or series), the current draw and voltage will very. I'd assume using 12v led hookup will not work on a controller but you are free to experiment! Good luck to you
