So I had a look into https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/wiki/Reading-a-Controller-Pak but there is no info at all on **how to connect the N64 controller** - e.g. what is the \"controller connector\"? By browsing through the repo I could figure out that PH4 (Arduino Mega Pin 7) is the \"Controller Data Pin\" [1, 2]. And I can guess from the wiki that the controller needs 3.3V, but I cannot find from the scheme [3] where I am supposed to connect it and how. The best hint so far is this thread on \"Reading a Controller Pak with your PC\" [4].\r\n\r\n[1] https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/blob/master/Cart_Reader/N64.ino#L346\r\n[2] https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/tree/master/extras/controllertest\r\n[3] https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sanni/cartreader/master/extras/pcb/cartreader_schematics.png\r\n[4] http://s9.zetaboards.com/Nintendo_64_Forever/topic/7465098/1/\r\n\r\nFinally I would like to use an Arduino Uno or may be an Arduino Yun (with SD card slot) to connect my N64 controller and dump my savegames from Controller Pak to file and store them on PC, respective use them in an emulator.\r\n\r\nSo my feature request is to update the wiki page with all info needed to properly connect the N64 controller to the cartreader. Optionally it would be great if you could also elaborate on how to connect and dump the controller pak using an Arduino Yun and on how to modify your source in order to do so."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/sanni/cartreader/issues/comments/385150986","html_url":"https://github.com/sanni/cartreader/issues/16#issuecomment-385150986","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/sanni/cartreader/issues/16","id":385150986,"user":{"login":"sanni","id":19169494,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/19169494?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni","html_url":"https://github.com/sanni","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sanni/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-04-28T08:01:54Z","updated_at":"2018-04-28T08:01:54Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"My bad, updated the picture to one that connects SS to pin 10.
