Hey all,
Just wanted to share some details on a quad mod for my fightstick that a buddy and I just finished up. I had planned on getting a custom case, however, I got very few responses from the companies that offer them (FoeHammer in particular). I decided that I would just use my Xbox One MadCatz TE2 stick as the case given it's already hinged, has good weight, and good space internally.
We then chose the PDP MKX Pad for Xbox One and the Hori Fight Commander 4 for PS4 as the PCB donors. These controllers are both common ground, and use a low and high voltage setting to gain functionality to previous generations. Being that these PCBs cover two consoles per, it made the most sense for a quad mod in my eyes.
To switch between the PCBs, we use a Dual Pole, Dual Throw (DPDT) switch, and for switching between generations (low voltage vs. high voltage) I used a Dual Pole, Single Throw (DPST) switch. This piece is very important as nearly everyone including myself and my friend thought a SPST switch would work for switching voltages. As it turns out, in my testing, you cannot have both switching signals on the same pole. I believe this is because the PS4 low voltage mode is actually high enough to trigger the high voltage mode on the Xbox One PCB. This results in the Xbox One PCB never being able to engage 360 mode.
With that, the rest is pretty standard. JLF, Sanwa 30mms, etc. Below are some pics!

Huge thanks to @chemist4hire and Gummo on SRK tech for help with explanations and guidance on PCB selection! Also Gummo for his invaluable pinouts for every PCB in the world lol. Saved us a ton of time testing out every single signal. Also, my friend Andy for hanging in there and the long night to get this thing working lol
