Sometimes the wires coming from the hand controller are all bundled into one cable, so it is
impossible to cut just one wire. If this is the case, you will have to cut both of them and join the
other wire back up again. his sort of thing is shown in Figure 14-2. In this case the wire consists
of an inner conductor and an outer braided wire sheath. Strip back the outer sheath and make
sure that no thin strands of wire are shorting out to the other wire. Use insulation tape or heat
shrink sleeving to insulate the sheath. hen wire it up as shown in Figure 14-2. Note that this
diagram is for one controller; you will have to duplicate this for the other player's controller.
