Note the two bolt holes for the NXC Breakout, the notch on the underside for the DJ turntable’s pigtail, and the wire channels.To accommodate the pigtail’s wire, the area under the breakout board is cantilevered so the cable has space to twist where it wants to. I've lost the instructions to the console so I can't look at them. You can substitute another Wii breakout board like the I’m not going to link the specific seller I purchased the decals from because they took nearly a month to ship my order.
Also note the plastic casing on the plug that forces the cable straight down.I 3D printed a mockup mount to align the microcontroller at the right height and centered in the notch. With the sticker sandwich complete, I peeled the completed decal off of the transfer paper, pulled off the backing on the black circle, and applied it to the turntable.I decided to match the decals on the left and right, aligning them with the turntable buttons on the left-hand side. This was so it didn’t matter which turntable I used on which side, and I can always swap them if there’s an issue.All of this is well and good, but it doesn’t mean much if the controller doesn’t actually If you’d like to draw your own conclusions (or if you think this whole thing is fake! Still, the aiming is a significant shortcoming.Okay, I’ll say it. This tracker resets after a short inactivity period to keep things responsive.The crossfade slider functions exactly how you would expect it to: moving it to the left puts Lucio in “heal” song, and sliding it to the right puts Lucio in “speed” song. The left side is a tapered block, but the right side of the bathtub has a bunch of complex geometry for reasons I don’t quite understand, which made fitting the mount a challenge.Completed cover assembly, including strike plates and magnetic mounts.For the plates on the cover I’m using some scrap 0.0359″ (20 GA) mild steel sheet I had lying around from an earlier project.After making some rough templates with paper, I cut the sheet metal to size with a pair of straight shears. Thankfully others had already done After plugging in the turntable, the microcontroller senses that the detect pin on the breakout has been pulled ‘high’ due to the loopback connection.
A nice vinyl background for the decal.For applying the decal itself, I created a mockup of the sticker + background in Illustrator using the photo from the listing. I am quite familiar with glovepie, though its outdated and doesnt support all inputs. The user only needs to plug in the USB cable and they’re off! I looked into buttoncast and wiinupro, but idk if either of them will work or how to use button cast. The cover is an injection molded plastic piece that attaches to the base unit using two tiny molded plastic hinges. Here’s how to play:When using a single turntable (either side), spinning the turntable will move the crosshair horizontally. I looked into buttoncast and wiinupro, but idk if either of them will work or how to use button cast.
I had borrowed one of these turntables to test the implementation All-in-all, I like the all-in-one solution with an analog stick that the Wii turntable gives me. What can you do.And with that, it’s done! Spinning the effect dial “down” (counter-clockwise) will trigger a reload on Lucio’s primary weapon (“amp it …down”).The threshold for both of these abilities is configurable. Unlike previous titles such as Guitar Hero or Rock Band that use multiple discrete buttons in order to match different notes,Earlier this week I was browsing Reddit and came across this interesting post of someone playing a game of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) using a Wii Nunchuk to aim.
For each new control data update, the program checks how many turntables are connected (0 / 1 / 2) using the library function, and then parts out the controls to their respective Both the aim (mouse XY) and movement (keyboard WASD) sets have dedicated functions which process the raw control data, while most of the buttons are a direct conversion to their HID counterparts.
There’s definitely room in the case for adding batteries and wireless capability, although given the controller’s size I’m not sure it would be that useful. For that I picked up a short roll of To start, I measured the size of the turntable’s spindle and created a mockup in Illustrator.
I also want to use it on pc for the memes. On my left hand I use my middle finger to control the joystick, my index for the ultimate, and my thumb for the crossfade slider. In this case quite literally.The Xbox 360 turntable uses a proprietary wireless protocol, and the PS3 turntable uses bluetooth. Unfortunately I couldn’t apply these directly, as the silver “DJ Hero” logo would show through on the edges. The base unit also includes several controls for interacting with the game console outside of the game.
For whatever reason, the good people at Activision decided to make use of that additional real-estate by adding a joystick to the Wii version. Then I disassembled the two shells, drilled out the opening, and squared it off using a set of needle files.I sized the microcontroller’s mounting bracket so that it will drop straight down into the mount without having to angle the USB port into the opening. The USB port sticks through a small hole in the back of the case.After I had everything setup and working on a breadboard, it was time to figure-out how to get things nice and integrated into the On the Wii version of the controller, there’s a nice bathtub cutout under a cover for the Wiimote to sit in.
I’m right handed so I use the turntable on the right-hand side. (I assume it has something to do with navigating the Wii OS when the IR sensor is blocked, as the Guitar Hero guitar also has a joystick while the 360 and Ps3 guitars do not.
You should be able to find the decals easily enough on Etsy or a similar site.Everyone I talk to about this project has the same question: why use the Wii version of the All three consoles share the same general controls with one exception: the analog stick.Both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the controller function as standalone units, and under the flip cover at the top you can find your typical navigation controls: a directional pad, start/select, and ABXY ( △○×□ ).
