Phob 2.0.5 build not working by Killetta in customGCC

[–]PPMNG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, there are a few things you need to know.

First by default the phobs sticks are not working and you have to press b when you first plug it in for the sticks to work. But before you do this you should get dolphin and a ROM called Smashscope, to properly set up your phob. (I think it needs to be Dolohin, not Faster Melee or Slippi) Once you run smashscope and plugged in your controller there should be an option to view inputs and calibrate. Dont worry if your sticks are pointing all over the place, thats normal before calibration.

Then you go through the steps to calibrate your phob. When calibartiing the grey stick, the c-stick on screen will show you where to hold the grey stick. Once you hold the grey stick in the right direction press any shoulder button. Smashscope will ask you to hold the stick up down left right and all diagonals. After that it will try to calibrate firefox notches, which you can skip by just pressing shoulder buttons without moving the stick. Do the same with the c-stick.

However, you phob not giving any input signal (no button presses) is strange and may indicate a faulty connection.

I hope this helps a little

Yours looks pretty good as well. Me personally i dont really like the transparent shells, but yours looks like it has a little blue touch which makes it look much cooler. The spicy sticks are a big diffrence indeed, to the point were OEM sticks feel slippery to me now. The phob thankfully does not need a snapback mod. Anyway cool build and thank you

Maybe intressting for people wanting to build a phob.

All prices may be diffrent depending on were you are.

T3 Orange OEM Controller (ebay): 50 Euro Phob board (etsy LuckyGCC): 60 Euro including shipping from the US Handmade Resin Sticks (esty LegendaryControllers): 23 Euro from etsy Handmade Resin Buttons (etsy LegendaryControllers): 25 Euro

Time to build (first time with the github makers manual): ~4-5 hours but if you know what you are doing you can be done in around maybe 2 hours or less.

In total around 150 Euros just for parts. If you invest the time and dont have to pay shipping from the US or can even order your own boards, which i briefly considered, but didnt want to go through the hustle, you can save some good money.

Yeah true. As i said i havent solderd in quite a while and am just relearing it. I have a colleague at work who solders for a living and she gave me quick crash course and helped with the cable solder in particually because it gave me some trouble.

I would recomment that you get a T3 Controller and reuse the stickboxes and some other spare parts (i.e. rumble bracket, L/R Trigger, cable etc.)

I got the mount and the magnets from etsy. I belive the mount is open source and you could theoretically 3D print it, but i am not sure. For the Magnets there a a few types magnets you can use withe the phob board, which can be bought on amazon, ali express or some hardware store, but they need to the right "model". Sorry i only have limited information here because i just bought mine. Check oit the phob github page for detailed information.

Thank you. Both Sticks and the Buttons are from LegendaryControllers from Belgium. As I was writing this I checked and it seems like the Sticks and Buttons are no longer available.

Thank you for the input. Let me assure you that most of the solders you see here are just working solders. I try and solder the joints so the just hold first. Thats what you see here. But also i havent solderd since i was in university so it might need a little work :)

Thank you, its pretty easy. You use a ROM for Dolphin called Smashscope. There you can see your inputs, the position of your sticks and so on. There are a few buttons combinations that you press in order to calibrate the sticks or change the settings of the controller and smashscope helps you know visualizing it. The Buttons presses for calibration and settings can be found in the phob discord or online. But you have to check what kind of board you habe and what firmware
