Rock Band Guitar Mod: Guitar Hero Buttons and Strum Bar

Step 5Connecting the PS2 Button Control Circuit Board: Mapping the Buttons on the PS2 Board

Connecting the PS2 Button Control Circuit Board: Mapping the Buttons on the PS2 Board
The first thing you need to do is look at the PS2 Gibson SG Button Control Circuit Board.
Make sure that you know which buttons lead to which wires.

There are 5 buttons, and 6 wires. One of those wires is the ground. Find it.
This is one wire that touches all of the buttons. It allows a circuit to be complete when one or more buttons are pressed.

In my model, it was pretty easy to trace the lines from the buttons to the wires.
HOWEVER, I understand there were many revisions of these guitars, and some are different.

Mistakes can be re soldered, but if you are careful, you can do it right the first time.
