Prototypes

- Models
- MSU PP 1.2 MAIN ALPS
Notable differences include
- Plastic finish being glossy
- Player LEDs arranged in a square around the USB-mini port and includes a clear plastic shield over the opening for the LEDs
- PS Home button is clear and retains a red LED underneath it
- L2 and R2 buttons are present as opposed to Triggers
- Motors are present
- Battery inside contains a sticker with the date 2006/3/2 and the model of the batter appears to be longer
- Lacks the pinhole and switch on the back
- Label on the front reads Gセンサー搭載 Stick動作せず once roughly translated it reads Powered by the G Sensor, without moving the stick
- Label on the back reads 0604KATA2
- Toshiba MCU is on top side of the board (in all the other models is at bottom)
- The main board was designed without gyroscope and without accelerometer sensors, it has a "children board" sticked on top manufactured by HDK (the first 2 letters of the "HDK" brand are partially visible etched on copper on the children board), this children board includes the accelerometer HDK HAAM 325B [1]. It outputs 3 signals on the 3 white wires "hand made" soldered to the TOSHIBA controller to retrieve the axis data. The other "hand made" soldered component uses 3 wires (black = ground, red = volts, and yellow soldered to TP26) seems to be a Murata ENC-03R Gyroscope Sensor [2]. It seems both components was integrated later in the circuit board of the controllers labeled "sixaxis"
Internally the Gyroscopic sensor for Sixaxis controllers is wired onto the board - presumably as a test for a sensor revision on a spare sample board. The sensor itself appears to be far from complete and very early. Windows (10) detects the controller when connected via USB; analog sticks do not get detected but all other buttons do. The controller does not work on DECHA00A/J units, but might work on DECR units or earlier.

Counting from left to right... pins 8 and 14 are connected together in the PCB and carries 2.8v stanbdy (in the PCB the copper traces are wider than the others for this reason), This means there is a voltage permanently on this ribbon, also the button "wakes up" the controller from standby by sending this voltage back to toshiba chip

- Notes
- This component seems to provide with several voltages to the BT module that i could not identify... probably are for the different components inside the BT module
- The connections with the toshiba controller probably are to provide voltages for the subcircuits inside it. There must be at least one exception because the toshiba is the "boss" of the board so it needs to be able to send some controll signal to this component to enable/disable power rails and things like that
The toshiba controller probably is connected to the battery + or/and the 5V USB (so it should work even if this component is disabled because this one is a slave), is just i have not tryed to find all the pins of the toshiba chip, wrong, the toshiba chip is not connected to battery/USB, it seems to be connected only to "low voltage" lines
Memory
The EEPROM is located the most closer posible to the toshiba controller, usually in the opposite side of the board where the toshiba controller is located, aligned to a border of it

Sensors
About sensors and testpoints... In a PS3 controller board (sisaxis or dualshock 3) there are 4 data lines that are the outputs of the sensors (accelerometer X, accelerometer Y, accelerometer Z, and gyroscope), that goes from the sensor itself to a resistor and then to the toshiba T6UN6EFG controller. Every one of that lines has 2 testpoint, one before and one after the resistor, the purpose of this testpoints is to meassure the raw data from the sensors and also to check the health of that resistor (seems to be critical, either because is degraded with the use, or because could be fryed suddenly), the schematic for every one of this lines is as simple as this:
sensor output -> testpoint -> resistor -> testpoint -> toshiba T6UN6EFG controller
The resistor seems to have a value of 33K (verifyed in VX4 board only) and works as a filter
When the controller is turned off is posible to meassure the value of the resistor by meassuring resistance in between the two testpoints. When the controller is working is posible to check the sensor "raw" signal by touching in the first testpoint, and the "filtered" signal by touching the second testpoint (this is what the toshiba T6UN6EFG really gets)
About sensors location in the board... The giroscope is always located at the center of the board in between the sticks and aligned with the USB connector, this is because it meassures rotations around an imaginary axis located in that position (vertically in your room from floor to roof and passing exactly in between your controller sticks). The accelerometer is always located in the left-top corner of the board, this seems to be because this area is more sensitive for right handed people (if you are right handed and shake it with only right hand... the left side of the board is going to suffer more g-force)

Accelerometers

DFN
The pinout is the same than the Kionix KXSC4 used in Move Motion Controller
The boards where is used this components has solder points ready to replace it by a 32S3 Accelerometer. Are different components (probably from different manufactures) but the copper traces in the dualshock boards are connected "pin by pin" in between them

Kionix KXSC4 (Accelerometer - 3-Axis)
Used in Dualshock 3 MSU_V3.5X boards and Move Motion Controller. Same pinout than the kionix SXPC4
Unknown manufacturer 32S3 (Accelerometer - 3-Axis)
14 pins (pin numbers are painted in white in some boards)
This component seems to be fully compatible with the KIONIX KXPC4 accelerometer, actually most boards models has solder points to mount both, the kionix and this one (the boards are "ready" for both, is at manufacturing time when they decides which component to use)
Most of the photos of the different board models here in wiki uses the kionix (and this is a coincidence)... but if you look at the photo of the other side of that same board you will see an "empty" placement for this chip instead, aligned with it, in a corner of the board. The few exceptions are the most older models

Sticks
Texas Instruments SN84001
This component seems to be controll the sticks, some board models doesnt have it
28 pins. Used in VX3, and VX4 boards
4 Pins
Two rotational potentiometers (variable resistors) are positioned below eack stick to meassure X and Y displacement. Current flows constantly through each one, and the amount of current is determined by the amount of resistance. Resistance is increased or decreased based on the position of the stick in a range from 0V up to 2.8V with center point at 1.4V
3 Pins
In newer models
Ways to tell if the controller is not original
- The SONY logo on the top of a counterfeit controller will not be aligned correctly with a originall controller.
- Different sticker label
- Counterfeit controllers have an extra screw on the back, hidden beneath the sticker.
- The label on the back of a counterfeit controller will be paper sticker.
- The label on the back of an official controller will have a thin layer of plastic over the paper sticker, giving it a matte finish and a more protected feel.
- The paper label on the back of a counterfeit controller will not be correctly aligned with the shape of the device on the back, as it was most likely put on by hand.
- Buttons
- The center Home button on a counterfeit controller will be marginally darker than the Home button on an official controller.
- Square, Triangle, Circle, and Cross buttons will be raised higher on a counterfeit controller.
- The colors of these face buttons will be dull, compared to the bright colors of an official DualShock 3.
- Sticks
- Compared to an official controller, the seams beneath the analog sticks where the bottom and top halves of the plastic meet will be sharp.
- Leds
- The LEDs lights on the controller that signify which Player it is controlling will not be flush with the outside shell. Official controllers are relatively level all the way across. Some controllers may have minor protrusion of the LEDs, though this should not be significant.
- When you turn on a counterfeit the controller, the flashing red lights on the outside will actually shine THROUGH the casing of the device, something that would never happen on an official product.
- Syncing
- If you have consistent trouble wirelessly syncing your controller to your PS3, the device may be counterfeit.

Homebrew
- PS Seismograph 0.2.0 from Deroad:
I have updated my homebrew to 0.2.0. now it supports all tv resolution (old versions were only for 1080p/i tv) This is a simple Seismograph for ps3. it uses all the axis of the first controller.
