Wire 3ds Slider to a DPAD?

[andrewdorsey]

Is there a way to wire the slider to the traces of a DPAD? Has anyone done it?

Here's how to do it with a normal analog stick:

I'm not sure if it's applicable to a 3DS slider.

Yeah I have seen this before, only problem is the sliders are made differently, which I'm sure you know. I want to eliminate the DPAD and just use a 3ds slider if possible. Just wondering if anyone has experience with something like that, thanks in advance!

This seems like it could work, but you could always use a pic or micro controller to take the output from the 3ds stick and translate it to a digital press.

That sounds more promising. Are there any guides out there, or is it pretty strait forward?

You'd have to know how to program a microcontroller.

Hey guys!

Any progress, or info if anyone made this work? I want to do this to a 3DS slider to replace the dpad as well

Step one: Learn Arduino
Step two: https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy.html
Step three: Be the first person to use a 3DS slider as a d-pad
Step four: ?????
Step five: Profit!

You don't need to waste a micro controller on this. You could just use a LM339. If you want I can draw you up something.

What're you thinking, set up an op-amp as a comparator?

LM339 is an actual comparator with a transistor on the output. I'm basically making an ADC converter. http://www.ti.com/lit/pdf/slcs006
