The USB adapters came for the controller ports today, and I was a tad nervous since my brother usually does the soldering round these parts. He was not here tonight so I sucked it up and gave it a shot. After following a very easy to read wiring diagram on the retrousb web site, I got to it. My first attempt did not work, and after I inspected the soldering job I did it was no wonder. It looked like complete shit, I think the solder was embarrassed to even be on there. After a more meticulous attempt, I plugged the usb into the pc and a controller into the port and........success! I'm very proud of myself (and yes I know this is the easiest shit ever). Everything else besides the pico power supply has arrived so we should be done within a week!
Hey man, at least you didn't accidentally solder all the jumpers together like I did and make the little guys not work.
