Jig-Con Creation Basic Tutorial (Easy-Medium)
This Tutorial will be a basic Jig-Con. It can be simplified to fit inside the actual joycon entirely. The basic use is to protect the actual Switch Rail from damage caused by a traditional Jig. Its fairly simple to do and easy for the most part. You just need basic soldering skills to preform.
This will be a basic run down of how to create a Jig Con and what is needed.
Items needed:
1. Replacement Joy-Con rail and Shell.
2. USB Cable or any thin wires
3. Solder
4. Soldering Iron
5. Kapton Tape (Optional)
6. Soldering Skills
Step 1 Locate the Joy-con rail connections.
Step 2 Pin lead outs are as follows. connect wires (from inside usb cable) to the pins on the back of the ribbon cable. the orientation is top left pin and bottom right pin from this perspective. (Pin 1 and 10 are being used to short).
Step 3 solder wires to pins (protect other connections by using Kapton tape Optional).
Step 4 Move wires out of way.
Step 5 assemble.
Now again this can be fit inside an actual working joycon. I would add a button to the bottom that could be pressed when wanting to short it out and use it as a jig
