i just bought a battery powered extended range sensor bar for like 10 dollars and then cut a usb cable off of an old xbox contoller, soldered the negative and positive wires to their respective contacts, and now i dont have to bother changing the batteries out. =D was really little effort.... looks much cooler than a completely home made one.

Yes, the thing is, in my country you can only get the original sensor bar or a generic wirelless, and is very expensive.

this is the one i bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as..._-78815101

it uses 4 AA batteries, which is roughly ~5v. so... usb power source worked perfect. the only thing i dont like about this one is the auto shutoff feature. now that i have it running on usb i dont really need it to auto shutoff but oh well. im too lazy to take a pic of it right now but maybe later....

Does it work well? I'm thinking about making one and don't want to waste a ribbon cable on something that doesn't work. By the way, can you get a tutorial in English please?

I bought a wireless one. I hooked it up to a usb cord, but I think the cables were dodgy (my stripping skills weren't too good - don't take that out of context!), so I ended up using batteries anyway.
