Well Obviously I Would Connect The **** Chip To It FACEPALM

There isnt a solder joint to handle something like that on the chip itself. The chip itself is not programmed and made like that. Thanks for the sarcasticness though if this was in a do it yourself section that would have made it better, as you werent specific that you were going to solder to the chip. Many people come on here that just need with their bought controller. Im just here to help out man! All of this stuff I do around here is donated time out of my day, next time I dont have to respond to you if that would be better for you? You are welcome to try it however if it doesnt work then Im sorry.

Hi Rodman
I moved this to the DIY section.
Connecting the Ragnarok to the PNC port is a little bit different than connecting the legacy modchips to the PNC port. To be honest I'm not exactly sure how to accomplish this. The Ragnarok uses four wires:
Ground
D+
D-
VBUS (5 volts from USB bus)
When the Ragnarok sees 5 volts connected to its VBUS then it knows it's supposed to go right into PC programming mode. So you'd have to cut the d+, d- and probably also the voltage line that goes from the PNC cable to the Microsoft circuit board. If this is something you are really interested in I might be able to try to scrounge up a photo and try to photoshop what I am talking about.

what if i loose the 3.5 to usb cable what then? this way i have everything i need!

Sorry guyus I have been busy..
The ragnarok is not programmable through PNC, if you want to use the pnc function.
If you dont care for the PNC function (or will never again want it) you can cut the traces on the controller mobo and wire the mod chip pins to the vias from the pnc port. this is straight forward, find a schematic of the pnc port for your controller and match it up, or get out the multi meter and find the correct pins yourself. If you leave the power pin connected without cutting the trace, everytime you plug in the pnc cable, your chip will go into programing mode.
another option if you are worried about loosing the supplied cable (other than being more responsible) would be to utilize a female mini usb plug they are about $3.00 on ebay. something like this:

yes, the Macro is only programable through PNC and still maintains the function of the PNC cable.

But do you know how that function is supported on the controller?

The macro is a clip design chip that attaches to the main IC of the controller. It does not have a wire that runs to the pnc TP's like other viking products. Meaning there is no way to isolate the programing signal so a 3.5mm jack or usb plug could be used, hence my statment above, the macro MUST be programed through PNC....
did that answer your question MJ?
