i am a software engineer student, i am on my final project
for this project i need to research a few things so i thought i would start here.
i need help from anyone that knows all the components inside an xbox controller.
i am particulary interested in the components that are used to connect the wireless xbox controller to an xbox and the vibration components aswell .
if you have any diagrams of the components and descriptions it would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance

what's there really to know about the vibrators? They're just an unbalanced weight connected to a DC motor via a rotating shaft... Aplly voltage, weight spins, causes vibrations from the wobble.
The wireless radio is a little tricky, I don't know much about how it operates from a hardware perspective, and it's encrypted to discourage 3rd parties from making unlicensed peripherals, there are a few places that seem to have reverse engineered the encryption but none of them would tell you how, so you're not going to find much about the software side of things.
Do you have access to the PCB of an xbox 360 controller? You might want to get one and either a quanba PCB or a PS360+ so you could analyze the differences if you need to get that in-depth.
