When plugged into the PS2's USB ports and the switch in the 'on' position, the batteries will be recharged and the guitar usable at the same time. The battery-pack is charged automatically by the wireless daughtercard depending on the position of the power switch. One thing your photos/description isn't clear on is how the battery-pack re-charging side of things is wired up, both internally and the USB-to-1/8" connector externally. Great work! I've been wanting to make a similar change to my controllers and I think I'll use yours as the blueprint ) It looks real nice, and has reminded me on more than a couple occasions when I've accidentally left the guitar switched on.īest regards, rock on, and happy soldering. Simply de-solder the original LED on the wireless daughterboard and route a pair of wires to wherever you'd like. If you wish, you can also add an indicator to the front of the guitar. Though, it is always best to double-check and confirm with the aid of a DMM, which color wires go to each pin on the guitar and the wireless daughterboard, before cutting anything.Ī 3-4" section from the original Guitar controller board should be sufficient to route everything as shown in the pictures. Looking at the PS2's plug on end, from left to right (facing you) the pinout is: Be sure to test the guitar and wireless adapter for proper operation before deciding to irreversably hacking parts off both the guitar and transceiver prior to wiring them together. Neat way to attach the wireless transceiver to the back for travel.Īll parts specified are with Radio Shack part numbers, though equivalent through Mouser or similar would work just fine.
:)Īny will do, but this one looks especially nice.Ĭharging Jack, and optional external antenna. Sorry it took so long! School is keeping me pretty busy. I just got an e-mail asking for parts info, so I'm currently putting together a parts and source list so we can get more wireless axes out in the wild.Īlright, here it is. (I'm working it out on medium right now.) But when I have my buds over they play on hard and expert with the wireless guitar, and happily report that it works just like its wired counterparts. The bad news is that I'm still limited by my less than stellar Guitar Hero skills. You can jam on the buttons or work the whammy bar and what you do is instantaneously reflected on screen. The good news is that there is no perceptible lag. II adapter, receiver and guitar are solid on.Good job dude.
Wait a while, make sure all the lights on the GH Then turn on the guitar controller (if wireless) Plug the receiver (if wireless) or controller

Turn off PS2 console and guitar controller (if These are the instructions from their website:
It's fits between the wireless attachment to the PS2 and the system itself, and I assumed it would be a simple process to get it to work. I've received my Ant Commandos Guitar Mania adapter in the mail a few days ago this is the piece of plastic that's supposed to allow me to use my wireless third-party controller with Guitar Hero 2.
