A question to Medieval Madness PS3

[Groni]

Hey Guys,

just a quick question to the US users How is the Plung (Launch Ball) in MM assigned? Is it the right analog stick too? I´m asking, cause i am building a wireless pinball controller using a modified ps3 stick. Need to know it, if i have to assign a launch button.

If it is the analog stick what move do you have to do? Back and forward or only forward. If it is only forward, is it possible that the stick is always in the forward direction without plunging all the time? Would be nice if someone could test it out for me. I am building a plunger mechanic with a spring and the analog stick is always in the forward direction. This gives me some space to plung. Also the ball gets launched when i release the plunger. Just if you are curious why it has to be always in forward direction.

Thanks in advance.

I *think* you can press X, if I remember correctly.
I'll verify tonight.

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

It should be both (X) button and Analog Stick.

 

[SKILL_SHOT]

it is right analog stick and X I just checked.

Thanks you very much. This helps building the Controller

Please post photos of the controller when you finish it, I'm sure others would like to see what you build.

Ok no problem, I will do some WIP Shots when I start building. The Nudge mechanic will be a challenge, but in my Head it works
Also the Plunger will be a challenge to make. I already ripped off all the unimportant parts of the PS3 Controller. Only the main chipset is left.

So time to attach some wires to it If that works, then 20% is finished

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing it.

You've got some serious technical skills!

 

[Groni]

Thanks, but it´s not finished Maybe you should wait with that comment, till it´s finished and working

Kinda critical to attach the wires, cause i have only maybe a milimeter to solder the wire. One wrong move and the board is gone...

But lets see if all went good

A Groni WIP thread on The Pinball Arcade Fans Forum?...I love it!

 

[Groni]

Oh Damnit! I crashed the board! Richard? Technical Skills I have?? Nope But hey, tommorow I´ll buy a new one. Maybe I should think about another way to attach the wires....

 

[Groni]

Oh good news I searched my second controller that I throwed in a corner, cause the L2 & R2 Buttons were weak. It´s not a original Sony, so i thought "hey the plastic buttons were weak, not the electronic" so i opend it, and
than all turned well. There is a board with directly huge silver contacts. To attach wires to that is very easy and quick The electronic works very well, and the analog sticks are 10 times better for my project.
So now i need sleep, and tommorow i can start to work on the wires again. I will open up a new Thread with the progress. So stay tuned

Sounds good
