My question is: how do I get the button contacts that I need to register button input to send to 4layertech’s GC+ 2 board? Would I cut them off a Gamecube controller, or are they made elsewhere?
So I would wire the GC button membranes to the GC+ 2?You can use the pads from a GC controller if you want to. Nowdays most people either use the DSlite breakout boards, or good old squishy tacts
No, you wire the part of the controller PCB with the exposed contacts to the GC+. The conductive membrane sits on top of the PCB and closes the circuit when depressed.So I would wire the GC button membranes to the GC+ 2?
Okay, so I’d take the contacts from a GC controller and wire that up to the GC+ 2.No, you wire the part of the controller PCB with the exposed contacts to the GC+. The conductive membrane sits on top of the PCB and closes the circuit when depressed.
Okay, something like this? https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-1571294-3.html?te_bu=Cor&te_type=srch&te_campaign=ggl_usa_cor-ggl-usa-srch-selectmktg-fy21-googlefeed_sma_sma-1735_94&elqCampaignId=95278&mkwid=MwXlQveT|pcrid|386964346949|pkw||pmt||pdv|m|slid||productid|1571294-3|pgrid|78782457963|ptaid|pla-1398991370807|&utm_content=MwXlQveT|pcrid|386964346949|pkw||pmt||pdv|m|slid||productid|1571294-3|pgrid|78782457963|ptaid|pla-1398991370807&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkvaT9Pqo8gIVkic4Ch13-Q0-EAQYCCABEgLtNPD_BwEthe easiest way is just to get a squishy tact and wire it to gc+ plus and gnd. gc+ is literally a controller already no need to waste an actual gamecube controller
thats not a squishy tact.
Thank you. I will probably just build a G-Wii and 3D print the case myself and buy all these parts for it.thats not a squishy tact.
just look at this gwii bom which has everything you would need and there is also links to like 3 more at the bottom. you can see there.
