ddr pad electronic failure

[beth33]

Recently built an arcade grade ddr pad (36 x 36), using modified x-box hand-controller as foot pad controller, re-wired.

Soldered single strand solid core wire to x-box contacts.

There are 4 steps (N, E, S, W) used as directional/selectors.

In selector mode, all buttons (steps) work. In dance mode, only 2 buttons/ (steps) work, although all worked initially.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

take it apart and make sure the wiring is still good... if you have a multimeter with continuity test it would be real easy to check proper continuity between switches and controller, and also to test the operation of the switches
