Guitar hero world tour guitar usb5/17/2023 The same wiring was needed: one pin (that connects to both of them) to 5 volts, and the two others to the Arduino and to ground (with a 10k pulldown resistor). The buttons for escape and star power are on a pcb, like the neck. It would be much more organized and clean if I have made it with own PCB-s, but I wanted to make it as soon as possible (But I made a schematic in Fritzing how it should look like - but the final connections for the arduino are not the exact same as on the picture). I know, it is a mess, but during the holidays I was not able to buy new stuff. The other side of the resistors are connected to the Arduino. I also soldered 10k pulldown resistors to the other pins, and connected one side of the resistors together and then to ground. The 3 buttons under the strumming mechanism, the on-off switch and the speaker are not used in the project.Īfter finding out the original wiring of the fret buttons, I soldered a wire to the pin that connects to all buttons and connected it to 5 volts. The big one is used to start the star power, and the smaller one (next to the big) is used to pause the game during a song. There are 5 extra buttons on the front of the guitar. Doesn't matter, I simulated an oscillation in the java code to be more "realistic" in the game. I expected a potentiometer or something to detect the angle of the bar, because you can rotate it around, but there is only a connect - no connect switch. My expectations for the whammy bar were also too high. It is okay for the toy, but to play a rythm game, it is not acceptable, because it's hard to strum quickly up and down. I did not expect 2 buttons for strumming up and down. The only disappointment was the strumming. The 8 buttons on the neck are mounted on a PCB, and there are 9 wires connected to that board.I checked the wiring for each button with a multimeter, and wrote down the "pinout". It was really uncomfortable during the project to screw and unscrew all of them so many times (fix an error - create two other.).Īs I opened it up, I liked what I saw. On the back, it has many screws (16 to be precise) holding the body and the neck together. Okay, I played with it for a few minutes, but it was not very exciting. When I got home with the guitar after buying it, the first thing I did was getting a screwdriver and opening the thing up.
