to start off I am not selling or buying anything. I am offering free knowledge to you. there are various methods to mod a controller such as led (matrix only) rumble (matrix only) ICs PICs smoke crack button extension etc etc etc using the tlc555 IC is a fast and easy way to create a all around great mod with limited electronics knowledge. if you are more experienced i suggest using a PIC. GETTING STARTED for “right or left trigger/s” first watch this video to determine if you have a CG or MATRIX type controller www.youtube.com then purchase the parts below ( note whether you have CG or MATRIX as this matters when executing the tutorial at the end) item………..radio shack # URL for part TLC555 Timer…..276-1718 www.radioshack.com 10K ohm resistor….. * www.radioshack.com 1.8K ohm resistor …..* 220 ohm resistor…..* 100 ohm resistor…..* 100K ohm potentiometer…..271-284 www.radioshack.com 1uF tantalum capacitor…..272-1434 www.radioshack.com .1pF capacitor…..272-135 www.radioshack.com Push button switch x 2…..275-0646 www.radioshack.com NPN switching transistor…..276-1617 www.radioshack.com Breadboard…..276-159 www.radioshack.com Wire (could use phone cable usb cable etc)….. 278-872 www.radioshack.com *You can find all resistors in the 500 pack….. 271-312 www.radioshack.com FOR BOTH TRIGGERS YOU NEED WHAT IS ABOVE & WHAT IS LISTED BELOW (500 PACK HAS ENOUGH TO DO BOTH TRIGGERS) PNP transistor…..276-1604 www.radioshack.com Diode, type 1N914 x 2 …
A simple dc to ac converter. C1,C2 47uf,25V Tantalum Capacitor R1,R2 10 Ohm,5 Watt Resistor R3,R4 180 Ohm,1 Watt Resistor D1,D2 HEP 154 Silicon Diode Q1,Q2 2N3055 NPN Transistor T1 12V Center Tapped or use an old Transformer out of a Microwave oven there good up to around 1500 watts. Most of the time the transformers are still good. Be sure to discharge the filter cap in the oven before you touch it. Add a bridge to the output and hook it to your cell. Total cost $0.00 Construction time about 30 min.

Electrolytic, Dielectric, Graphics and Diagrams with explanation by Dr. Oliver Winn – a pioneer in the GE capacitor business. Charge builds in the capacitor as electrons fill up one plate. He talks about making polypropylene capacitors which use a layer of aluminum foil and plastic film… Also electrolytic capacitors – using aluminum and tantalum oxide as a very thin dielectric layer.
