Let me know how that goes. If that's the case here, it's pretty sad that Activision would end up blocking their own guitars from functioning with over-zealous hardware detection.

And who knows, maybe the check is only performed at startup and I could turn it back off once in game.

I have had no issues playing GH2 or 3 with the modded tilt sensor. the "new" SG/LP swap i'm doing has this mod and is using the original SG tilt sensor with an on/off switch and it works flawlessly.

Just a little heads up/warning for those who replace the accelerometer with another tilt sensor. I was playing RB2 with some friends, one of whom was using my modded LP. When on the song select menu, the category would switch every once and a while when no one was hitting any buttons because when he adjusted his sitting position, he'd tilt the guitar and it would change our category.

Mystery solved.

Thanks a lot for this mod. My LP was giving me a lot of trouble with the tilt sensor, and I was about to go crazy. I did this mod and it works great. Actually what I did was change the sensitivity to 6g, since it was way easier than soldering to pin 7 and had the same effect: now star power won't go off by itself. I was going to make a switch to turn it on and off, but I had so much trouble soldering to that tiny little circuit board (this is my first mod and I have very little soldering experience

) I decided against it. Instead, when I get WT I'll just let the guitar that comes with it be my "tilting" guitar, and the one I modded will be my "select" guitar. It works because I suspect select-activating will be close to impossible for me on the WT guitars anyway.

Thanks again

. And I definitely recommend changing the sensitivity to 6g instead of using pin 7. Trust me, on 6g, it's virtually impossible to tilt-activate anyway.

Here's a link to an older thread that has a few sucessful and unsucessful attempts at this mod:

Hello guys !

Sorry my english is poor , and before beginning any modification , I want to know something :

If I only disconnect the resistor between blue dots , and dont do anything else , does the guitar tilt only with back button or it doesnt tilt anymore?

Thanks for your response

Mike

can someone tell me how hard is it to activate with 6g?

hello, can anybody please tell me any information about this capacitor. I lost mine and need to buy a new one.

Hello all and thanks a lot for the 360 LP Tilt Sensor Adjustment / Disable Guide.

It's wonderfull, my sensor can run when i active the switch

I think putting a mercury sensor to replace the switch

Thanks thanks thanks !!!!

After posting on 2 other threads I finally found this one showing me exactly what I needed to know.
And after a bit of thought I have a couple ideas (that I cannot test myself at this time) that may help with the sensor issue.

1. Installing a mercury switch (or similar for those who dont want to risk mercury poisoning if they acidently break the switch open) in a "closed" position instead of a toggle switch to disable the sensor.

In theory this should enable tilting the guitar normally, you may have to have the guitar in the tilted position at game start, but hey it should fix the overactive tilt sensor...

2. Certain diodes have resistance settings, has anyone tried using different diodes to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor?

I would test these myself, but I am currently waiting on the parts to come in. I was given a timeframe of up to 3 months for delivery

Okay, I can't solder worth shit and the "low-tech" solution is not working for me. What would happen if I just pulled the accelerometer off the circuit board completely?
