GPIO inputs spinnen total rum

[funkybunch]

Habe seit 4.1 Probleme mit meinem USB Encoder gehabt. Jetzt bin ich anstatt über den Encoder direkt auf die GPIO's gegangen um (so hatte ich gehofft) keine Probleme mehr mit der Eingabe zu haben.

Leider totale Fehlanzeige. Alles spinnt komplett rum.

Wenn ich vorsichtig durchs Menü navigiere, klappt es noch, aber sobald man mal ein wenig schneller eine Bewegung macht wird alles mögliche an Befehlen erkannt. Also ich gehe mit dem Joystick durch die Spieleliste, Plötzlich öffnet sich einfach mal das Hauptmenü oder Spiele werden als Favorit hinzugefügt.

Kurz gesagt: Es werden scheinbar immer irgendwelche Buttons erkannt, die man nicht betätigt.

Wenn man einen Button länger gedrückt hält spielt alles komplett verrückt. Auch Neukonfiguration im System ist schon ein totales Chaos, da das Halten der Taste nicht funktioniert.

PS3 Gamepad macht keine Probleme, aber die Arcadebuttons sind ein Desaster. Ist das ein Bekanntes Problem in der 4.1 Unstable? Mit 4.0 lief es damals noch problemlos.
Muss ich vielleicht irgendwas umstellen?

@funkybunch Hi !

Looks like no one speaking german could answer you. Would you mind translating to english ?

[funkybunch]

@Substring Hi! Thanks, i'll give it a try. Not translated exactly but with new insights.
I've testet several ways to control the games, but the only nearly perfect method is using a gamepad. At the moment i reconnectet the buttons back to the USB encoders. The Encoders are dual strikes by Jochen Zurborg. The reason for using especially this encoders is, that i got a real ps3 in my cabinet too for playing newer games.
The only Problem is, that every keystroke will recognize 2 times. When i press a button, sometimes the menu opens and close again. Same problem with the Joystick. A click to the right equals a jump 2 systems... but only sometimes. It's difficult to describe, but i've found a similar post.

I've tried the encoder running in PS3 and PC mode. Same problem.

What's the „The xarcade2joystick trick described in the wiki seems to work.“?

[Substring]

@funkybunch when each input is remeated twice, it's most of'times because it's triggering 2 events : one as a keyboard, the other as a pad.

Xarcade2jstick is a small tool that converts a "keyboard" as 2 pads and locks the keyboard events.

[Substring]

please provide a link to that encoder, i'd like to check some stuff

[funkybunch]

@Substring is it possible to deactivate this tool? i can set the dualstrike in different modes. but in ps3 mode (which i prefer cause of switching between pi and ps3) it is probably the problem you described.

here are the links:

[Substring]

@funkybunch sure you can disable xarcade2jstick, but i don't think it's the origin of your problem as it just works for very particuliar devices. Anyway you can disable it in recalbox.conf

[Substring]

Could you run /recalbox/scripts/recalbos-support.sh and upload the resulting archve so that i can take a look at your setup ?

Thanks in advance

[Substring]

@funkybunch I don't see any joystick or encoder plugged. Could you retry with your encoder(s) plugged ?

[funkybunch]

@Substring Sorry... forget to connect the Joystick. Here's the new one. Link
But unfortunately one of the PCB's seems to be broken

[Substring]

@funkybunch I see nothing wrong. Can you try running evtest and see if you still have that double input problem ? should be easy to notice in the output of the command

[funkybunch]

@Substring with evtest i see that sometimes a button triggered 2 times. i testet 2 buttons alternately and marked the lines when it triggered 2 times.

the other problem i have is, that the encoders don't detect at starting the system. i have to disconnect and plug in again.

[Substring]

@funkybunch This looks pretty much more complicated than I thought ...

You have some kind of ghost rebound on your controller, but is it a hardware problem or a a software problem ? I definitely can't tell ...

[Substring]

Does it happen in any mode you set your controller ? PS3/Xbox/Mame or whichever ?

[funkybunch]

@Substring Now i checked all modes separately.

The xbox mode is the only one which works 100% correctly, but then i have to switch the mode everytime i play a game on the ps3.

Even the mame mode which emulates only keystrikes makes this problem but regular usb keyboard works fine.

[funkybunch]

@Substring Where can i deactivate the xarcade2jstick tool? can't find the entry in the Recalbox.conf

[funkybunch]

@Substring ok... found, deactivated but same problem as before

[Substring]

@funkybunch so you want it as a PS3 pad ? And in such case you have double inputs, right ?

[funkybunch]

@Substring Yes. I definitly want to use it as a PS3 controller for sharing with the original console.

I tested a regular PS3 Gamepad with recalbox. The regular gamepad works fine.
