How to Transform Your PS2 Guitar Hero Controller for PS5 & PC | Clone Hero & Fortnite Festival 2/3

Today, I continue my ambitious project of converting a RedOctane PS2 guitar into a universal gaming axe, picking up right where we left off in Part 1.

Desoldering: Desolder components like the whammy bar, start/select buttons, and the frets.

Pinout: I sketch out a new pinout for connecting everything to the Pi Pico. Mistakes and Learnings: Every project has its hurdles, and this one is no different. Watch as I tackle unforeseen challenges, make real-time decisions, and share the reasoning behind each step – success and failure alike. 🔧 Tutorials Include: Creating custom mounts for reed switches. Detailed soldering tips and fixes for common mistakes. Utilizing Ethernet cables for extending connections. Final assembly. 🎮 Why Watch This Video?
