Reset button on Nintendo 64 controller?

It's powered by 5v from the board. From LeHams Diagram.

Able to update the diagram? Stupid me will forget, and I'm little confused now.

 

I received the clicker today. But I found out I was out of wire and braid. So I won't be able to install this yet.

 

Actually, it's relay that holds. If you push the on button the relay will stay closed until you push the off button. So to reset the console you push the on button and then the off button.

Anyone have a recommendation for replacement control sticks? I plan on fitting the remote into the n64 control. Figure while I'm in there I'll replace the stick.

 

Couldn't figure out how to add a quote while editing a message. Uses the MOBO. Having a good iron makes a world of difference. I can't stress this enough. I use to use some piece of crap for the longest time. Soldering is so much more enjoyable with a decent iron and definitely worth the investment.

 

You don't need to spend a lot on a good iron, I use these - they are excellent. Low wattage (30w) but do the job well. Higher wattage irons are more likely to damage a board if heat applied for too long.

I am able to do fine soldering work with these pencil tipped irons too.


Tried other cheap ones, these are the only ones i'd recommend that are cheap.

 

If I had to get a cheap iron, I would most def get a Aoyue 937 clone.

Many people have used the clones and have had great success. But if you can save up an extra 30 bucks you could get the real deal: http://www.amazon.com/Aoyue-937-Digital-Soldering-Station/dp/B000I30QBW

 

Good idea though not to use a sponge as it oxidizes (rusts) the tip fairly quickly. A holder with copper or bronze wire wool (dry tip cleaner) is better than steel. Works well at cleaning the tip without cooling it or oxidizing it.

 

Attempt to install this since my last post, and appears my wire kept snapping :\ I bought more wire though and will attempt again otherwise I'll have to get some help with it.

 

Just had an interesting Idea! It looks like the expansion port supplies 3.3volts. I think I'm going to put the remote inside an old controller pak.
I'm sure we all have some of these laying around. Too bad I don't have any with me.

 

The N64 needs 2 voltages to run, 12v (actually, goes to a 7805 so 5v) and 3.3v; if you are using a jumper pack it needs 2.9v-3.4v; expansion pack 3.1v - 3.4v however rated 3.3v

 

he's talking about running a remote for the IR rest off the 3v line inside the controller
