@jean-marc-strauven does evtest output strictly different event names when you try each button/stick direction ?
GPIO joystick and buttons issue
-
Hello,
I am making a bartop Arcade using Recalbox and I have issues when it comes to set a controller on the recalbox interface, I plug all my buttons on the gpio using this guide: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/GPIO-controllers-(FR)
The problem is when I try to set up a new controller, every pushbuttons are working, but when I try to configure them, after I set one, the other ones are not working anymore.
I Know im not super clear, english is not my first language, but in other words, i can only configure one push buttons than the other one just dosen't work anymore...
If this ring a bell to anyone of you please respond it would be super appreciated.
Thank you, Francois

shall I move your message to the french section and answer you in french ?
-
I was about to ask on the french forum also, but i would let this on the english forum, the more anwser the merrier!

Meanwhile test your GPIO sticks with
evtesthttps://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Test-your-joystick-with-jstest-(EN)
jstest is almost the same, though it's deprecated
-
Hello,
I have the same issue and all the test (evtest, jstest) are ok..
have you a solution ?JMS

@jean-marc-strauven does evtest output strictly different event names when you try each button/stick direction ?
-
@Substring I was trying to test my GPIO using the jstest. Basically it gives me the error 'jstest: command not found'. I follow the instructions of https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Test-your-joystick-with-jstest-(EN).
This issue that i'm having is: When i try to set up my controller the joystick works and the A button. Apart from that none of the other buttons work. Anyone experienced similiar issue?
-
@ivolourenco most obably a wiring issue. Use
evtestinstead ofjstest -
@Substring so i did a evtest GPIO detected as within recalbox. All buttons worked (how can i save the log of events to share with you?)
I even did a wiring direct to the GPIO for individual buttons to remove the wiring possibility (e.g daisy chain ground).
Any other ideia?
-
@ivolourenco has every single button returned a different event ?
To share what you did, juste select the text in putty (it's automatically copied, that's a linux habbit) and paste it here between triple back quotes -
@Substring output from the evtest below.
Sequence was: js up; js down; js left; js right; B; A; TR; TL; X; Y; Start; Select.So i would imagine that all the setup is ok. However, within the Recalbox is not detected.
I have a daisy chain ground that runs on all the buttons and is connected to the GPIO 6 any potential issue with that?"""No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*

@ivolourenco So, each of the buttons are working properly and independantly. The daisy chain is just for the ground, and should link a pin of each switch to the Pi ground.
You're not supposed to remap the controller in ES, it's configured by default. Try those commands in SSH :
/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop cp /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg ~/.emulationstation /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start And try your stick without reconfiguring it for now

@ivolourenco the
cpcommand is not correctly typed. I tried it on my recalbox and it works.
When reporting, please use such `bback quotes, not double quotes -
@Substring All buttons responding. Seems incorrectly setup though. Shall I remap them?
And what have i done... with the commands you suggested?

@ivolourenco Incorrectly setup ? If you followed the wiring diagram + buttons layout like :
Y X L
B A XYou shouldn't have to remap. But ok, try remapping now you know how to reset the mapping
Former dev - Please reply with @substring so that i am notified when you answer me
Ex dev - Merci de me répondre en utilisant @substring pour que je sois notifé -
@substring going to start drilling the button now!
I just noticed that when i push up it goes down... so may be there is a issue on the setup of wiring.
However, I did a run on remapping but it still does not recognise after A button
Thanks
-
@ivolourenco can you go to http://recalbox while trying to remap, and make a screenshot of Recalbox when you're stuck at remapping ? You can post it here using the small cloud icon with an arrow, no need to drop it on some website
