Lignt Mod In Controller... For Those Of Us That Cant Remember...

[neo_m]

Hi

Made this mod because i would ALWAYS forget to turn the controller off when im finnished

So what i did was put in a Light so you know when its off and when its on

here is a pic of the board

Its SUPER easy to do, but so usefull for ppl like me that cant remember my name

I used a 1.5v Mini SMD LED

therefore i had to put in a resistor so i didnt blow the LED

With all due respect to what is a great job on your part,
Isn't the power consumption essentialy zero when the controller isn't charging or a button isn't being pressed?

Allow me to site the example of bullet clone controllers- no power switch!

I bring this up because while the light is handy, if the modified controller is left on, that LED can potentially drain the batteries where a stock controller wouldn't drain them at all.

I've left my stock controller on for days at a time with no detectable battery problems.

Again, not to detract from a fine job, just an observation on my part.

i dont think there is hardly any battery dran because i used to leave the controller on all the time.

and that would definatly use more power then the stock

I'm not sure I understand.
You're saying the LED's draw is minimal?

with out the led
not sure if it drained power

with led it
it would drain power if you leave it on over night. but the light is there to remind you to turn it off
