Just been out and got a cheap USB controller just for this! Can’t wait until the thread is finished and I can get stuck in!
Great to see video game controllers used for DJ’ing. 
Actually make sense. Can be found for cheap, feel familiar, have a bunch of buttons right of your fingertips, USB, extensive literature online about modding… etc etc…
Also,
:eek:
Now THATS something Im looking foward to see! Hypothetically they can be used also as touch sensitive since those are made of magnetron sputtering that mix a bunch of metal alloys making them conductive of magnetism as well as electricity… nice!
Come baaaaack
Any nooooz?
+1+!!!
Sorry guys still here just a few personal issues in the home life, Women you know how they are, I’ll bust out the next post tonite as a bit of workshop R&R will do me well. Stay tuned. I also went out and got a bit bent the other night at “The Upbeats” so was a wee bit tweaked for any tricky soldering, please forgive me, I’m getting older and I don’t seem to be bouncing back the way I used to. Damn you ageing!
What happend to this =( ?
I’m still here guys, theres just been a bit of a moving house incident, my current address is Crate 211 Roslyn Mill Storage so its a bit hard to do any techy stuff out of a shipping crate, I move into my new pad in November so stay tuned and as soon as I’m set up I will finish this thread.
Curious to know what software you would use with an xbox controller on a mac - is there something out there to do this?
Hope the house move has gone to plan, looking forward to the next instalment on this thread…
Cheers,

+1 Is there a software to convert to midi for Mac. (or have I just started taking my Xbox pad apart for no reason! lol).
Subscribed! 
I haven’t used this program, but I’ve heard it mentioned a few times on this forum.
Not long now kids only 2 weeks to go till I move out of my shipping crate and off of my mates couch to my new abode then let the mod fest continue, the break has allowed me to source some more tidbits for the build as well so stay tuned.
hey bro whats up? you still going to finish this tutorial?
Yep gonna finish it, If I get time tomorrow I might raid my mates workshop and do another install, I’m still couch surfing at the moment hence the delay in posts
I still have some old controllers, and a soldering iron. I would love to be able to turn them back to life in the form of DJ equipment =D
Keep it up, my friend! You’re doing a great job!
That’s the best bit they don’t need to be touch sensitive! They already are!
As you have: Spinning Platter > Laser/Something reading it. Meaning when the platter has it’s speed affected i.e touched there’s a reaction.
I hope the project isn’t abandoned, I was really looking forward to seeing the end result =)
Don’t worry I found USB gamepads (straight xbox controller clones) for $30. I’m seriously considering do this mod.
Oh that’s great to hear =D I’d also like to do this, I have 3 unused Xbox controllers I’d like to convert to a nice little traktor controller but I lack the knowledge to do so. So I was hoping to learn it here. I guess I’ll have to do some research and try it myself.
Good luck with your project, Remote. I am looking forward to your worklog (if you are making one) =D
Handyface.
Dude I hope everything works out with finding your own place, life’s a bitch sometimes
/agree
Good luck, man!
