Easy USB Massage Controller

Easy USB Massage Controller
In this Instructable I tell you how to turn a Playstation controller into a USB massage controller to relax your body through vibration.
When you play games on the Playstation you probably have noticed a short vibration inside the controller.
This is caused by two vibration motors. We are going to solder them in parallel and power them by a USB connector.

On the back side there are 7 small screws that must get out (see picture 1)
When you have done this, open the case. It should look like my
old PS controller in picture 2. In the area, where you normaly hold your hands you can
see both vibration motors.

It would be cool if you controlled the motors using your USB port.
