It is the same all you have to do is cut the wire and soder it to another usb cable that has been cut. All the cables meet up and there is one extra from the controller. Now my question is how to make it go from usb to game port or if we could use a serial connection. I am not sure if you could rerout it through the serial. If you have any ideas that would be great. How would you imput the usb into edu bot?
