I hope you mean onto a cable and not the controller. I think the pins on the controller are gold plated (corrosion resistant). It would be a shame to get solder on them.

But I seriously think that you should try the meter first (if it's pulsing too fast, you might be better off with a scope). It'll tell you if you're even getting voltage/correct signals. If you're not getting anything at the end of the cable, you should try the pins directly on the controller.
