GPIO joystick and buttons issue

[Substring]

@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

@Substring see the outup of those commands:

Note: The joystick works withing the recalbox. But none the button work still.

@ivolourenco said in GPIO joystick and buttons issue:

cp /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulatoions

This is not the command I wrote, please read again

[IvoLourenco]

@Substring sorry for that, output below.

[Substring]

@ivolourenco the cp command is not correctly typed. I tried it on my recalbox and it works.
When reporting, please use such `bback quotes, not double quotes

[IvoLourenco]

@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 X

You shouldn't have to remap. But ok, try remapping now you know how to reset the mapping

[IvoLourenco]

@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

[Substring]

@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

[IvoLourenco]

@substring so this what i do:

1. Main Menu/ Controller Settings

2. 2 Gamepads detected (picture below)
   

3. Press A and start the configuration (joystick configured - Picture below)

4. A button configured as Button 1 and after this none of the others are recognised.
   

[Substring]

@ivolourenco so no button would work once A is assigned ? They all work on evtest, i don't get it ... unless you mixed P1 and P2 ...

[IvoLourenco]

@substring yes basically none work after A is assigned.

How could P1 or P2 affect that? I’m using the GPIO layout proposed within the wiki.

Is there a way within evtest to understand that the button is assigned to the correct GPIO pin?

[Substring]

@ivolourenco nope evtest just reports which event has been triggered. I still believe that if you're saying the layout is not right, then the wiring is wrong

[IvoLourenco]

@substring so I setup my buttons, initiate a game. And then when I have a game loaded at the insert coin (metal slug) or 1 player game (mario) there is no response from any button. I do not have an hot key specific button.

I tried once again to remap my buttons but it does not work as mentioned above.all the wiring is ok as per schematic.

Any thoughts?

[Substring]

@ivolourenco someone has the same kind of issue but for dreamcast only. Can you make ansupport archive ?

[IvoLourenco]

@substring after some more testing this occur within Neo Geo, Name, PlayStation. I can play some games of Nintendo not all.

Support Archive is a separate topic? (Sorry for the noob questions)

[Substring]

@ivolourenco go to http://recalbox/help and make a support archive, post the generated link here

[Substring]

@ivolourenco which recalbox version do you have ? Don't tell me you're still on 4.0 ?

[IvoLourenco]

@substring was 4.0 because I could not found roms... so i was using a compile file to try some games.

Changed to the 4.1 and did the support archive, same problems regarding the mapping. (https://file.ac/DaGZwV_MA-U/)

Can we discuss roms subjec on Kiwi IRC? Let me know when suits you.
