Repair of my xbox 360 Controller.
Left Analog Stick was seriously worn and loose to the point it wasn't controlling my games correctly and more often than not have a mind if its own, luckily the same analog stick is used in the ps2 controller for which I had a duff one with good sticks so cribbed one from there, now all works like a new pad.

Nintendo is apparently allergic to money. After creating an instant and profitable hit with the NES Classic, the company decided to end production of the cheap little emulation machine just a few months after its introduction. No matter: tech savvy Nintendo fans who couldn’t get a hold of one...

My Arduino Based Fan Controller is coming along nicely. My motor shield and relay shield have come in the mail, and will be used for various fans. The Larger relay at the bottom is a main power power relay that basically turns on and off 12V to the bottom rail on the breadboard. A simple 3 way switch can be used to bypass this. I have some transistors to amplify the current from the arduino to drive the relay, which in turn drives the 4 relays on the relay shield and provides power to fans. I have 2 5V fans, and my linear voltage regulator (far right) gets super hot and shuts down, a new solution needs to be found.
The whole thing is driven over USB to the arduino. The Arduino gets it's power from the USB, and I have a simple program that knows how to communicate with it, and knows how hot various devices are.
Death Toll Thus far:
- 1 capacitor
- 1 transistor
- 3 transistors near death
- 4 LEDs
In this picture I'm using my little stand to hold two current probes from my multimeter so I can measure the inbound current from my wall wart, supplying 12V.
