Viewer Challenge - iPhone 360 Controller

You're the master of hardware, but how about software?

I challenge you to build an app for the iPhone that will work in conjunction with a small chip-based converter that will allow the iPhone's touch screen to work as a controller for an Xbox 360. It can connect either wired over the standard USB connection for the 360, or, for a real challenge, wirelessly over the Bluetooth standard connection

I come bearing good and bad news!
Using the chip I picked up earlier I have got my pad working fine - that's the good news, the bad - I don't know why your's isn't.
Rather than using the usb and inverter have you tested it just tying the enable on the 4066 high and low? I that works then it's a problem with the inverter and usb if not I'm not really sure where to start - the software you are using confirms the pad works when connected with a piece of wire? Do you have another pad to try?

The wired one, I believe the newer ones are slightly different, mines quite old so will be the earlier one.

Any update on the problems?
I was driving it high with 5v but it shouldn't make any difference.
