Wiimote Modification for Persons with Disabilities

Step 7Solder The Wires Onto the Circuit

Solder The Wires Onto the Circuit
To begin you must first designate what Wiimote button goes with which cable. The cable designation on the 8P8C. This table will be useful when making your External Connector Box.
8P8C
(Port Number) (Button )

1 A-Button
2 B-Button
3 Home
4 Up
5 Down
6 Left
7 Right
8 Ground

Please wear safety glasses when soldering. While keeping track of which wire you solder to which button in relation to the Ethernet port, solder all wires to the contacts indicated. It is important to solder to the correct side of the button contact. Cut the wires so that the wires run along the edges of the circuit board as far as possible. Extra wire will make it difficult to put the case back together, and could disable the buttons on the Wiimote. (For tips on soldering see Soldering Tips section below.)
