Apple NesRemote

Step 3 Soldering wires on the NES controller

There we go, we have a chip-less and cable-less NES controller PCB.

In this step, we are going to :
- Learn what to solder where
- Solder wires on the PCB

Here's the pinout of the holes.

Starting from bottom left :
1. Ground
2. Right
3. Left
4. Bottom
5. Up
6. Useless
7. Useless
8. A button

Starting from top left.
1. Useless
2. Useless/
3. Useless
4. Useless
5. Start
6. Select
7. B Button
8. Useless

As you can see in the 3rd picture, I soldered the A and B button together and Start and Select together. I wanted to Play/Pause with either A or B and use the Menu of the remote with either Start or Select. I use some Veroboard (strip-board) to solder both buttons together. It's optional. I wanted my remote to be like this, but you don't have to.

Then, you just need to solder wires from each necessary holes. Take long wires, because it's easier to cut them at the end, than the opposite.
