Xbox 360 Tilt Controller Mod Posted by XanTium | January 22 00:34 EST

From adamthole.com: [QUOTE] After wanting to play around with an accelerometer for a long time, I finally thought of an idea that would warrant me purchasing one, modifying an Xbox 360 controller to make one of the analog sticks controlled by the tilting motion of the Xbox controller. The accelerometer works by outputting varying voltages for varying accelerations. I will use a 3-axis accelerometer so it will output 3 varying voltages. I will use an analog-to-digital converter to get the signals into a micro controller. The micro controller will do the processing that determines how the controller is tilted. It will then be output as an analog voltage to the controller in place of the on board potentiometers that are controlled by the analog stick. The Xbox 360 tilt controller is now finished! I got rid of my breadboard mess, switched to mostly surface mount components and put everything onto a circuit board. It sure is easier to play games without wires hanging everywhere! Let me know what you think about this and whether or not I should make a wireless version. Also, I would like my projects to start becoming self sufficient, so if you are interested in buying a 360 tilt controller or maybe just a soldered circuit board, let me know.

Pretty cool if you ask me. A little PS3'esque, but still cool.

[Elusid]

Haha a little is a bit of an understatement It's awesome that you can make a mod for something like this though

[hawkolugy]

I didnt know you could do it all with such little amount of space you could have definitely have fit both rumble and this in a controller for the ps3 and xbox 360. does it cost a lot?

[Juniorman030790]

I want one. NOW! How much for : just the circuit board, the whole controller done up, OR, a wireless one. I would like pricing on all three right now please. Contact me at jamesah@gmail.com because you have a bidder my friend... also, can this be switched off so i can use my joystick when I want to?

[popballz]

i would buy it if it was for wireless

[Ray2Kay]

I would buy a wireless one, SIGN me up

Sony got sued by the patent holder and Sony lost but I think they are still appealing it plus they did not want to pay royalties for a license to use the rumble feature like Microsoft did.

Yeah, I would love to buy one of these too. PM me or post some price info for wired and wireless.

[theinsanepenguin]

if your selling ill buy one, id want a wireless but would settle for a wired. its just way to damn cool to turn down

[uberfrost]

i love to buy one! how much is it?.. anyone knows?...

[RiPpN-N-TrIppN]

dude that is awsome
does it have a switch to turn it off tho so u can just use the controller like normal

[belke]

wow, that is amazing I too want one! it shows a tutorial on how to do it doesnt look that hard just some cutting traces and soldering 5 wires. at least that was from a glance:)

I would also love to have this if it was wireless. Does it have a switch to turn off the motion and use the second analog stick that would be cool if it did

[crasher0255]

Yeah ill agree wireless would be nice....but overall nice job man, looks like it would be alot of fun. Id buy one
