Step 2Over drive!
So you're ready to turn this instructable up a notch, eh? In that case, you're on the best step. This will turn your project into a swank mobile. You'll go from a slouching geek in a computer chair shouting in elation, "LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!" to Neo, from The Matrix.
I pinky promise.
Start out by picking up a Xbox Media Remote - I don't mean the Xbox360, I mean that big black box which, if ever pressed, could be used to save your life - maybe even take a bullet.
Once you get your remote (I got mine for $14CAD from a pawn shop) you'll need to do an inventory check again - for this mod we'll need the following:
- Tools
- Soldering Iron
- Solder
- Insulating Electrical Tape
- Items
- Xbox Remote Recieving Unit
- USB cable (once again, this will be cut... so make sure you're OKAY with that.)
1. Start by popping the back off of the reciever - you'll be using your knife for this. This is really difficult, so take your time and try not to cut yourself. Remember, the more careful you are the less you'll dent and cut the reciever - which is a better looking final result.
I can't stress how hard this was for me, but I took my time and I only have a single, small, dent in the side of my reciever.
2. Once you get the cover off of the reciever you'll see some chips and stuff. Hopefully you were careful - otherwise yours may not exactly be in pristine condition...
On the reciever you'll see pins, below a chip, for the plug, which is on the other side. Going from left to right, they are as follows:
0. Ground
0. Red
0. White
0. Green
0. Yellow
0. Black
0. Ground
They're not actually colored or labled - that's the wires from your USB cable which will be attaching there.
3. You'll notice there's no yellow on your USB cable, that's because it's a strange creation of Microsoft. Don't worry, just continue carefully soldering your wires.
Once they're all attached and you're ready to test it, head down to RedCl0ud's webpage and pick up his drivers. There's also the original guide there as well, which may be more useful than mine.
