Xbox 360 Controller Monitor

Ben Heck is at it again with the Xbox 360 Controller Monitor being his latest brainchild this time round. This project requires one to modify a wireless Xbox 360 controller and a display board, where the board will rely on LEDs to show which are the buttons on the controller that are being pressed, in addition to analog stick movement. Playtesting sessions can be recorded to be used as a latency reference to the game itself later on. All signals are taken from the hardware level of the buttons/sticks themselves, hence doing away with bottlenecks when providing feedback. These signals will be buffered so that they will not interfere with data being sent back to the mothership – we mean, Xbox 360 itself.
