UD-USB Decoders

hi UD, I am using the decoder with a Sega Saturn USB wireless dongle (Retrobit). All the buttons except the hard punch are on the face buttons. Is it possible to change the hard punch from right trigger to button C anyhow? Thanks

2 things:

- What is the top jumper set for (5V or 3V)?

- To test the decoder itself (no harnesses), hook up only 5V and GND to the decoder, plug in a game controller, and grab a voltmeter. Put the voltmeter between GND and UP and watch the voltage change when you hit UP on your controller. Now go through every terminal the same way for each direction and button signal on your controller.

They were both set at 5v, I will test with a voltmeter like you suggested soon, thank you for the reply.

Sorry for the lengthy delay, cat. They have been sitting on the floor in front of my desk since you sent them. If it's any consolation, I haven't made any other changes before working on yours :)

I hope to add support for those and a few others soon.

Dear Undamed Sir,

Thank you very much for the quick reply

Thank you very much for offering to add support to both the PowerA Controllers

I know it is very hard work and I really appreciate it very much Sir

Thank you very much for making the DB15 USB Decoders

They are a God Send on a Dark Cold and Rainy Night

Thank you everyone on this Forum for all their help too

Thank you Everyone
 
Two questions:
  1. What is the least expensive controller compatible with UD USB Decoder?
  2. Anyone use UD USB Decoder with the 2x10 multi-console header in a test bench setup
    • Actually, anyone using the 2x10 multi-console header in any kind of setup at all. Please post pics
Working on a test bench setup with this device. Have it all figured out (I think) with the exception of what controller to use.

I opened one of the boxes! These are premium controllers! And I started clearing off my desk! I hope to do some testing this week :)

I've always wanted to add usb controller functionality to an arcade cabinet. Recently I have been working on an astro city cabinet and have plans to wire in UD USB Screw Terminal Decoders into the harness to have a dual action control system. I'd like to keep the original Astro CP controls but add the ability to plug in your own stick for those that are very picky of the controls that they play on.

As I get closer to the project I'm left thinking I really don't know what would be best way to tap the controls.

Do I just splice the leads into the wiring at the button? At the jamma harness? at the AMP connectors on the control?

What do you guys think?

my friend and I did this recently, he has an astro and I have a blast.

He tapped his decoder into the controls.

I made a AMP harness splitter. Comes out from the cab. One goes to original controls. And the other goes to the 20 pin or whatever connector on the UD board.


They both worked out just fine. Just depends on what you have the ability to do. Overall pretty easy.
