Hacking the Xbox CONTROLLER

Step 10 Closer look

Here's a closer look at the area highlighted in the previous picture. Notice the proximity to accessible ground and power points, as well as one of the signal traces that I was interested in for this project, namely the trace that carries the signal from the Y button to the main Atmel microcontroller that is the "brain" of this particular controller.

Look carefully for the yellow highligted boxes that show the Y-button and X-button access points.
