SoundGammon Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I was wondering if it is easy to hack a wired Xbox One controller? I want to make my own flipper controls using a hacked Atari Pinball dedicated unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the electronics of a wired Xbox One controller to interface an Atari Pinball controller ? Not sure to understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure to understand I want to hack or wire the shoulder buttons that are used to control the flippers on the Xbox One and wire them to a the Atari Pinball unit. It has flipper buttons on the sides. Right now I have it hacked into a PS1 cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange_Kiwi Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Please share pictures. Also, if it is only switches, the wiring will be simple on the electronics side. However, if it needs to convert signals, it might a little more tricky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest way is to use a MCU with a USB "host" feature, that way you can read anything you want from the controller and just use GPIO's to control the Atari Pinball unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, if the person has the knowledge. If not, for sure, there's a lot of tutorial. I can help, and from what I'm seeing, you can too 😎🤠 Are you in electronics also?
