V5 Series Hall joystick drive board installation process,

[@nothingblank4216]

I installed this mod in 07/08/2024. It takes me about 1.5 weeks to install this setup. Because i am new to soldering and i don't have the equipment, so it takes me this long to do. First time to soldering beware as it requires time and patient to do. It has steps that need to be done right in order to work well. Lucky, my controller works perfectly with this driver installed. It has circularity error on both sticks around 3~4% My experience: 1. It takes some time to install the driver as the board require some bridging and wiring. Things are too small to install and require multiple times to apply solder like the middle pin of the hall effect sensor with bridging wire. 2. Need to make sure your soldering is very clean and no accidental connection to other connections. 3. No Step by step instruction in the box. Have to rely on the video (Though the video is very well explained) 4. The first step of removing the joystick is already an hard task without heat gun. Remove joystick by cutting off pins is a good option for soldering iron 5. You are given two pair of joystick. You are suppose to transfer the sensor from one pair to other. 6. There is still a micro jittering in the end. Not sure its my fault or joystick fault or accidental connection. 7. I recommend static mode than dynamic. It make life easier if you forgot about it. ( Centre Point Mode switching ) Good: . It really works as advertise. I have 3~4% circularity error on both sticks . Calibration works as the video shown. All mode A, B, S works. Turn off calibration works. Centre Point Mode switching works. Bad: . Its really difficult . Still have a bit micro jittering If you have any question, just commend below. I try my best to answer

7. I recommend static mode than dynamic. It make life easier if you forgot about it. (Centre Point Mode switching) Hello, please tell me how to set it up.  

[@nothingblank4216]

Go to jun Zheng channel and you will see the "V5 series joystick driver board "Simple Calibration" description and function demonstration." video. I assumed you didn't do this before. Use Cable to turn on controller 1. enter mode A (hold any direction of joystick) 2. move your joystick Left or Right and Click(L3/R3) (Centre Point Mode switching) 3. turn off your controller to save setting

[@The_Ballo]

This video is better than your last PS5 video, perhaps because the installation is more straightforward.

[@Steelgreyhound]

Thank you for your work! Good luck with your project and your store! Looking forward for you improving this even more!

[@southernstyle8835]

Are you selling these on aliexpress? I don’t see the updated listing

[@RustyRaindeerRepairs]

Why did you swap the sensors from K-Silver to Jinfu joystick? Is that just a personal preference, maybe Jinfu being better mechanically??

Would this work with the DualSense Edge (PS5 Pro Controller) stick modules? Those are the swappable sticks that are sold separately by PlayStation?

[@mkp4823]

I don't know if you have found the answer to your question yet. but u can install these sticks in edge controller module. You will need a different calibration board which is v.52 instead of v.5

[@ControllerSupported]

I hope these are much easier, because I had no success and junked a controller with the first one... using 2 sets and doing it exactly as the video was showing... I may wait a bit before I give these ago, I'll wait for another controller to get drift and try this new board.

[@junZeng-520]

Skills and tools are important, and good tools make everything easy

[@NotMyActualName_]

I wrecked the first controller I tried it on too. Which part hung you up? I can offer some advice. For removing the old sticks, make sure you ADD some solder to the joints first. This makes reflowing them much much easier with a heat gun as the solder will melt at a lower temp after that. Second, make sure you apply a flux paste to the board, it makes the wicking action a LOT better for the stubborn tiny pins that are way too close to surface-mount capacitors, or the center pins that have the insulator pipe on them. Without flux paste, even if your wire has a rosin flux core, those parts are goign to be harder to heat and coat correctly without ALSO using the iron for so long you end up melting nearby surface mount components. Don't skip the flux. Third, use a small, flat drag soldering tip like he uses in his videos. Having a good iron with temp controls helps a lot too.

[@The_Ballo]

I have a lot of experience soldering and if this is your first time I suggest practicing on something you don't care about, first.

[@irvintang2751]

I trashed a controller too following exactly what he did. I think it’s maybe because he never explain which connections are actually important and which are just to held the board in place. The middle hole I never really understand.

[@NotMyActualName_]

@@irvintang2751 The four big pins on the joystick off its main corners are purely structural. That corresponds to three large holes on the driver board. The two smaller holes not on the edge of the board go to the microswitch for the R3/L3 button on the joystick. You could pre-solder those connections if you wanted. To make this as easy as possible I would pre-solder the four microswitch pins and the one joystick pin that isn't covered at all by the board. Then you can avoid the two hardest bits of soldering which are the small center holes which are DANGEROUSLY close to surfacemounted resistors and you could accidentally bridge a solder connection to, or melt off entirely. To make the edge soldering easier, pre-tin the back side of the backer board on the center hole. If there's already a little bead of solder there melting it and getting some solder to wick through is MUCH easier. It's a complicated bit of soldering. Having a good iron with temp control makes a world of difference. Also having the correct tip helps a lot. Jun Zeng uses a drag soldering tip in his videos...that's useful for the solder drags he uses in several places, but using a long fine tip for the rest would make a lot more sense.

[@imarkd82]

Hi Jun and hi all. I'm from italy and i need some informations. On my aliexpress app i've found the Drive board sold by a shop called "VaalPaev Official Store" with two hall effect joystick in the same kit very similar to the ones in the video. Are they the right ones? If not, where can i find the K-Silver and most the Jinfu (i cannot find this anywhere) joystick? How can i recognize a joystick from another one? If some have info or link, please send me Thank you so much

[@NotMyActualName_]

I don't understand why we need to drag a solder joint from one pad to another. Why can't that just be included in the board design? And does this design solve the problem of the board interfering with the force feedback motor pads on the other side? In v4 the board covered those pads and the only way to install was to leave a wire sticking, drag some solder out across the board or scratch away at the pcb to expose a connection point.

[@hollow314]

Just my guess about the solder joint, it is to cutting cost to manufacture since there are different pad needed to bridge for different controllers. But your point about the covering up of the feedback motors' pads is valid.

[@NotMyActualName_]

@@hollow314 yeah from what I've seen the same board is used for Xbox and PS4 and ps5 with different solder points. But that still overcomplicates the installation. Just make three versions of the board.

[@GregRosolowski]

I bet when he sells more that will go and the price will drop. Just an assumption.

[@junZeng-520]

From the beginning of the development of the setup, I considered some common Settings to help reduce costs and reduce inventory pressure, if you are involved in the industry, I don't think you want to have three versions of goods in the warehouse.

The shell has two little white clips in the front you need to close up to prevent that gap. The PS5 driver boards don't come anywhere near anythign that would push against the shell. The slimmer design is probably for the xbox, where the trigger on one side actually contacted the board.

[@computeractivity7972]

What disoldering and soldering device do you use ??

[@NotMyActualName_]

I have installed a couple of the V4 versions of this device, you really need either a heat gun or a vacuum desoldering iron. The former is super cheap and easy to get. Just make sure you're starting off with as low heat as you can get away with and be slow and steady. My first attempt I melted some of the plastic/rubber components on the board and had to throw it out. Masking it with foil helps, but I was just using way too much heat. Just apply a little heat to get the solder flowing and then pull on the stick from below with some pliers until it comes away gently.

[@betabry42]

@@NotMyActualName_ Low melt solder helps a lot, if you mix with low-melt before removing the old stick, it makes it so simple and clean.

[@NotMyActualName_]

@@betabry42 yes, forgot to add that. Definitely makes it easier. I applied a little fresh low melt solder to the pins before heating with the heat gun. The stick came out very easily.

Hi..im new here. What this board do?why need it?

It filters out the jitter the Hall effect produces and helps with calibration of the Hall effect sensor. It improves the circularity of the joystick as well

What kind of wire are you using to connect, I know that’s not like the wire for solder where it melts, so what is that one? Pls answer

[@TheGamer2Know]

[@iErnexZ]

Does this increase input lag?

[@NotMyActualName_]

I've not noticed that it does but i'm not really that sensitive to it. Intiuitively though it MUST introduce SOME amount of lag because the board is essentially post-processing your data inputs. That said it's being done with a dedicated chip so it's almost certainly sub 1ms
