How to Assemble and Install an AXISdapter

The AXISdapter is a small printed circuit board made to make the installation of a wireless Playstation 3 controller into an arcade stick as easy as possible.

The AXISdapter project was started was started by ShinJN and Toodles on the Shoryuken.com forums. Both of us has made a slightly different board that performs the same purpose. This Instructable focuses on the version by me (Toodles) simply because I have one on hand. The assembly and installation of these boards is very similar and should help with assembly of either version.

AXISdapters can be purchased in either kit form or fully assembled form from the following places:

Please begin at Step 1 if you have an AXISdapter kit and need to assemble. Skip ahead to Step 5 if your AXISdapter is already assembled and you would like some help installing it in your stick.

Step 1: Verify Components

Before starting to assemble your AXISdapter, take a moment to verify you have all of the needed components.
Your AXISdapter kit should include:
1x 20 pin FPC connector
1x 20 pin flat ribbon cable
2x Resistors, 5k-10k ohm
(optional) Screw terminals (2 pieces of 7 pin terminals and 1 piece of 4 pin terminals for the Toodles version.)

If all parts are present and accounted for, it's time to begin putting them together.
