Solved Xin-Mo Dual Arcade lässt sich nicht komplett konfigurieren

@Substring
the 18 pin version

@h.hansi122 ok. So all buttons work until you press select ?

[h.hansi122]

@Substring
When I try to configure the controls within the Emulationstation menu, I can configure the arrow-buttons, abxy and start, but then, when it comes to the select button and the following ones, they are just not recognized. Not on player one, or on player two.
The outcome is, that i can't use the select button, L1 and R1 aswell as the hotkey.
When I use a wired Xbox 360 controller, everything works fine.

@h.hansi122 Are you sure you followed the wiring schematics ? this rather looks like a hardware problem.

Other way : can you run evtest and say if it's the same behaviour with your faulty buttons ?

[h.hansi122]

I already proofed the wiring two times and couldn't find anything.
Unfortunately I'm not home til Sunday to run evtest, but I will do this as soon as I am back.

Many thanks in advance!

[h.hansi122]

@Substring
Now I'm back home and firstly detached and reattached all the wiring, again, following the instruction in the link above.
Same problem as bevor.

I'd like tu run evtest, but unfortunately I couldn't find a useful tutorial, how to do this. I think I have to use Putty or something else, but I don't know the commands I have to use.

@h-hansi122
Yes, just use PuTTY. Log in with

• username: root
• password: recalboxroot

Then type cat /proc/bus/input/devices. This shows you a list of all available connected devices.

This could look like this:

 I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1
 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
 P: Phys=isa0060/serio2/input0
 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input8
 U: Uniq=
 H: Handlers=mouse2 event8
 B: EV=b   B: KEY=420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
 B: ABS=11000003 

Take note of X in eventX. In this case its event8 (H)

Now type the following command:
evtest /dev/input/event8
(or whatever event your control is)

Now you should see an event of every button or axis you press / move in the terminal window.

I hope it works like this. It's been a while since I did it the last time. Otherwise just google for evtest

[h.hansi122]

@lackyluuk
It worked. Great.
Thank you!

This are the mapped buttons:
btn_base - Hotkey
btn_base3 - select
btn_base4 - start
btn_Pinkie - L1
btn_Top2 - R1
btn_Thumb2 - A
btn_ Thumb - B
btn_Top - X
btn_Trigger - Y

The Joystick worked as well.

This is what I've got.

@h.hansi122 when you ran lackyluuk's very first command, how many xin-mo pads showed up ? I'm wondering if the usb quirks is set up. Looks like yes seeing the number of available buttons ...

When you tried evtest, which player inputs did you try ?

[h.hansi122]

@Substring
2 Xin-mo pads are showed up, event 0 and event 1.

I tried with the inputs for player one.

[Substring]

@h.hansi122 which recalbox version are you running ?

[h.hansi122]

@Substring
4.0.1, the newest one.

[lackyluuk]

@h-hansi122 The latest stable version is 4.0.2
The current unstable is 4.1

[h.hansi122]

@lackyluuk
Your're right, sorry. Checked again, installed version is 4.0.2

[Substring]

@h.hansi122 xinmo is supposed to work out of the box, you shouldn't even have to reconfigure it O_o

[h.hansi122]

@Substring
Well, then the problem might be that i did reconfigure it?
As there seems no solution for the problem, i will try to reinstall Recalbox.

[Substring]

@h.hansi122 depending how familiar you are with linux, i'd just reommend through putty :

/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop
cp /recalbox/share_init/system/. emulationstation/es_input.cfg ~/. emulationstation
/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start

I'm not sure if it's es_input.cfg or es_inputs.cfg

@Substring @lackyluuk
Had few time the last week, but finally managed to try it this way. Didn't work.
When I run the commands and restart Recalbox, the Joystick doesn't work and as soon as I hit one of the buttons, a window pops up: "configure input. 2 Gamepads detected". As soon as I try to configure, I get the same problem as befor: everything works fine, I can configure the arrow keys, abxy and start, as soon as i get to the select-button. Can't configure select or any of the following buttons.
So I finally gave up and completely reinstalled Recalbox. Didn't help. Same issues.
In my desperation I just hit any buttons while configuring and found out something: the select button (the one I want to be the select button in my build) works fine when I try to configure it as any other button. As well, the other buttons, that didn't work befor, can be configured as any of the arrow, abxy or the start button. But again, as soon as it gets to configure the select button in recalbox, nothing works.
So finally I guess, the problem isn't any of the hardware-buttons, but recalbox just lets me configure up to 9 buttons and not 12 buttons, as it should be.

Sorry for my pour english, I hope I can make you understand, what I mean.

@h-hansi122 what the f*** is happening with your encoder ... Can you send us a support archive ?

[h.hansi122]

@Substring
What is a support archive?
