Here we go :

At First , Cut the Sensor Bar cable into 2 wire : Red and Yellow

Then burn 2 wire a bit to conduct electricity :

Cut the USB cable,you'll see many wire : Red , Black , White, Green and the Silver outside.Only need "Red" and "Silver" one, cut off the other left

Twist the yellow wire (sensor bar) with the Silver wire (USB) :

Now connect USB cable to PC :

well... i bought a battery powered one and wired it usb without the additional battery. worx great, why the extra battery? seems like it kinda defeats the point of having it usb. mine regulates voltage input anyway so the dif. from 5v to 6v is insignificant.

If i don't add battery,the led won't turn on that's why.Beside it only cost a very small power of battery,i could use 1 per months

thank you for the posting. i am just a little confused. can you skip the part with the battery? it just seems weird that if you are using USB why would you need the battery? shouldn't you only need one or the other ? battery or usb wire?

can you re-write directions without a battery if possible. thanks a million for your help so far.

@inteGReddy ,your sensor bar is a wireless one which is made by a 3rd company.You don't need to add extra battery when converting it to USB cable
My sensor bar is original one from Nintendo(7.5-12v), its voltage is different to yours(5-6v)

For no battery,just twist the red wire (Sensorbar) with the red wire(USB) but this will not work on the original one

You should put a diode between the batterie and the usb.
Don't ask me why, i just see it like that in other place.

As long as you have the correct voltage ,it should work no problem
You could buy a multi-voltage AC adapter (3v,4.5v,6v,7.5v,9v,12v),i got one chinese product for 3$

yeah... imo it'd be better to wire it to an ac adapter as opposed to having to use a battery in conjunction with usb. albeit, more dangerous in nature.

I'm trying to do this now. The problem is, there doesn't seem to be a silver wire in the USB cable. There's black, white, green and red. They were wrapped in foil and outside that was the closest thing here to a silver wire; lots of metal fibre wrapped around the foil as further shielding.
