Step 7Soldering middle points
Moving from left to right, next up is the Back button. Find the wire for 'Select', trim to size, tin both pad and wire, and solder. Repeat for the Guide button using the RB4 wire, and the Start button using the RB0 wire.
Next is the holes the USB cable originally occupied. Remember that the bottom two holes are both ground, but just to be safe we should use the second one; the first was the shielding ground, and may not directly connect to true ground on our board. Start by locating the ground 'GND' wire, cut to length and tin the wire. Feed the wire through the second hole from the bottom, and apply solder from the bottom.
The next spot up was the white from the USB cable, called D-. For us, we need the X360_1 wire. Cut to length, tin, and solder in the through hole pad.
Next spot up was the green wire from the USB cable, called D+. For us , we need the X360_2 wire. Cut to length, tin, and solder in the through hole pad.
Last is the red wire from the USB cable, the power VCC line. Locate the VCC wire, and repeat and as above.
Only six wires to go.
