I KNOW THE ANSWER! :) some glues are conductive and can work instead of soldering. ALSO, RED WIRE goes on outer circle, whichever other color wire you have goes on the inner circle. You're welcome. :)
Pedal is fixed! Just wish I'd found your video sooner ( like before I pried the sensor case off and broke the plastic the screws go into....TG for gorrilla glue, LOL)
I dont have a solder thing Can someone please help I just need to connect the right wires. I need help fast before my mom finds out and whoops my ass:(
Thanks for making this. I had never used solder before. I bought a cheap kit, followed the steps and despite my crappy workmanship, the kids are using the fully functional drum pedal right now. Thanks again!
I also got that pedal,it aint broken or anything but it only reacts if you really step on it hard.. Can you fix that somehow? How do I take the sensivity higher?
My wire is pulled out partially but is still connected to something internally. Could I just like use something as simple as tape if it needs to be reconnected to the A part lol
Hi, thanks for posting, 2 quick questions: 1. should I be able to "test" before soldering by using electrical tape to connect each wire to sensor? 2. for each wire, orange and red, there is a silver metal tip exposed, do I solder the metal tip to the sensor, or the orange and red part of the wire or either? thank you so much!
@pjmoreau123 You shouldn't be able to solder the plastic cover (that's what the orange and red parts of the wire are). You would solder the metal (silver) part of the wire.
Hey, thanks for showing how to take the pedal apart. Question about the mono wire (as my wire was pulled out of the sensor and stripped), does it matter which wire one sodders to A and which to B? As far as I can tell, one copper wire is red, and the other is orange-ish.
i dont even have that stuff and i want to keep playing the guitar hero metallica on drums and my pedal dont work so i cant afford the stuff thats new thats going to make it
Thank you for your generosity in posting this. Very helpful work around for a shoddy product that shouldn't have broken so easily in the first place! Sorry, had to vent. Thank goodness for people like you!
My pedal stopped working for me this week. I went to Best Buy and brought the Nyko Metal Pedal and it's not working either. So I was wondering if it's compatible to GH5 Wii?
My petal Fucking snapped right were the star is and the incline or whatever on the bottom so now i can't own on Xbox Live i have to do auto bass petal
Solder is the best idea, otherwise it will work loose again. Soldering will also ensure the best electrical contact for maximum signal transfer between the pedal and the main drum set.
Go to a Radio Shack and just buy a 3.5mm MONO extension cable between 3 and 6 feet long, and cut off one end and strip the wire back. If just your purple connector is damaged, they sell just plain old 3.5mm tips that you can solder onto the end of your existing cable. Most of the time the problem is in the purple connector, very cheap solder in there, and it gets strained and breaks over prolonged usage.
Oh, and dogarizm....... eBay. lol

pjmoreau123 1 year ago
@pjmoreau123 You should be able to test it using electrical tape or just holding the wires against the sensor.
I don't understand question 2. If you use flex simply attach the one wire to point A and second to point B as reflected on clip.

@pjmoreau123
The silver you see there is the original solder. It's fine to re-solder that to the sensor. Most importantly, just make a good electrical connection.

@pjmoreau123 You shouldn't be able to solder the plastic cover (that's what the orange and red parts of the wire are). You would solder the metal (silver) part of the wire.
