I'm trying to make myself a controller to use for Street Fighter.

I bought a wired xbox 360 controller and disassembled it to get the PCB from it.

I originally did this 2 years ago, and housed the controller in a shoe box. Everything worked great. However, this eventually wore down, and i'm trying to rebuild it in a sleek aluminium hobby box.

I drilled holes and put the buttons in, then soldered wires from the PCB to the buttons. All of the buttons work fine.

I was pretty much done, so i glued everything in place, using a piece of cardboard as insulation between the case and the PCB.

After finishing and closing it all up, i opened Street Fighter to give it a test.

Any time my hands are in contact with the box, it automatically fires the two xbox360 shoulder triggers.

The other buttons all had one wire to the relevant PCB location (black), and another wire to the grounding (red)

The two shoulder triggers were different to all the other buttons. These had two locations i had to solder wires to, and also required a capacitor (i think thats what its called?) on one of the wires.

The problem seems to happen intermitently. Sometimes i can touch the box, and its fine, others times not.

I've reopened it, and moved the PCB further from the casings, but its still happening.

There's no exposed wires that are touching the box.

Please help.

I have a leak coming from my dishwasher. It is caused by picture related. Do you know what this is called? I am trying to find it online but I keep getting routed to door leakage. Is this easy to fix?

Should I try to build an extreme AA battery charger /diy/? Any tips on how I would go about it?

I can purchase a 15-minute charger with fans to cool the batteries, but what I'm thinking is, how much faster would I be able to charge them if I jacked up the current and increased the cooling? Good idea or no? Am I mental?

Hey guys, I saw the second Purge movie and got really inspired by this specific mask and seeing as Halloween is around the corner I figured I'd give it a go!

I want to make my own mask but with a design similar to this. I wanted to have one word at the top, something ominous like "Run" or "Death" or something like that. I want the general design to be something simple yet ominous. I don't know why but it just seems really creepy and it's exciting!

Can anybody with experience or any ideas recommend some stuff like colors, what type of mask, words or phrases etc.? Any help is appreciated!

How do I make a soundproof room that is invisible to ground penetrating radar and thermal imaging?

I wanna make one of these wood wrist rests and I figure I could get the general shape pretty easily.
But I was wondering if anyone could give me any tips on how to get the wood nice and smooth and if I should treat the wood with anything after.

My shitty third floor slumlord apartment has old knob and tube wiring in it. So it obviously has no grounds. I don't want to fuck up my computers, so I'm trying to ground an outlet in one room.

There is a cast iron fire escape just outside the window that is stuck directly into the earth. I drilled and attached a solid 12ga insulated earth wire to it, and ran it in a small hole I drilled in the window frame. I used this wire to ground a new GFCI outlet I installed. It all checks out electrically, and my computers work fine.. But is this safe long term? I've asked, the landlord will not rewire..

Hi /diy/
Do you know where can I order some cheap PCBs? What site have you ordered PCBs to?

Anyone know about semiconductors?

Basically, there's one bad and I need to swap it out. It's a pain to find the exact one, so I need help figuring out which ones I can use.
