Cobalt Flux Wii, Step 2 – Close but no cigar
I’ve been slacking off. Thanks to The Orange Box
Anyway, since I had something more important to do, I decided it would be a great time to make some progress on Cobalt Flux Wii!
First, I decided to just cheap out and scratch that conductive shizzle off and lay those traces bare.
That is as simple as scraping them with a utility knife blade.
Next, I whipped out a green scrubby and made it all shiny like.
Then… I did some really horrible soldering. I ditched the X and Y leads, as I have the old school Flux pad.
Finally, I closed it up. I would have soldered the dsub to the end, but… I forgot whether I needed male or female. And it’s late.
More… later…
Looking good so far!
I’m really looking forward to seeing the conclusion of this article, as I would like to get myself a “real” dance platform for this game 🙂

thanks!
ps: your flux->360 project looks rockin’

Does it work with the Wii?
I’m considering picking up a copy of Mario Mix if I think I can make one of those boxes for my flux. It sounds cool but I’ve never soldered before. Should I feel intimidated?
