Xbox 360 Wireless Controller - Connecting to an Xbox One

Connecting to an Xbox One

 
 
1
Set Output Protocol
 
 
Follow the instructions here to correctly connect your CronusMAX PLUS to a PC via the PC PROG port using the supplied Mini-USB Cable.
 
Load Cronus PRO and go to Tools > Options > Device
 
 
Set the Output Protocol to XB1.
 
These are also the recommended default Speed Up Settings for Wireless Xbox 360 Controllers. Rumble Over Bluetooth is disabled as it's not being used.
 
You can now close the Options window and disconnect your CronusMAX PLUS from your PC.
 
2
Connect the CronusMAX PLUS to your Xbox One
 
 
Connect the CronusMAX PLUS into one of your Xbox One USB ports via it's Output Port.
 
Note: As the Xbox One provides constant power to its USB ports, even when you do a soft-reset, we recommend using our custom Power/Data Switch Cable so you can easily reset the CronusMAX at anytime without getting stuck in AU mode.
 
  
The CronusMAX PLUS LED Display will now show the Authentication 'AU' Animation.
 
3
Remove any Xbox One Controller Batteries
 
 
Remove any batteries or charger pack from your Xbox One Controller (if it has them).
 

This is a very important step or the controller will not authorize correctly.

 
4
Connect your Xbox One Controller to the CronusMAX PLUS
 
 
Connect your Xbox One Controller into the Input Port of the CronusMAX PLUS using a full data Micro-USB Cable.
 
  
After a couple of seconds the display on the CronusMAX LED will go from the Authentication 'AU' Animation to 0 (or a number if slot recall is enabled and a script was previously loaded). If the Display does not change from showing AU, try a different Micro-USB Cable between the CronusMAX PLUS and Xbox One Controller, and/or physically power cycle your Xbox One.
 
WARNING
If the LED on the CronusMAX PLUS does not change from AU to a number then the authorization controller is not authenticating. 99% of the time we find that this means the Micro-USB cable to the controller is faulty or not full data or simply not compatible, you should try another one. Another issue that sometimes comes up is that the controller USB port has a loose data pin. It will charge fine, but won't transmit data. Also make sure the controller is powered on of course - that's a rookie mistake. If it's stuck in AU after a console reset, then you need to unplug the Cronus as it is still reading the consoles security ID from the previous reboot. This is a problem with Xbox One as power is constantly provided to the USB ports, even after a soft-reset. We recommend you use our custom Power/Data Switch Cable.

After a couple of seconds the display on the CronusMAX LED will go from the spinning Standby Animation to 0 (or a number if slot recall is enabled and a script was previously loaded) - indicating that the controllers are authorized and you're ready to play.
