Arcade controller issue on setting
-
@loujez I can imagine. It's certainly not my area of expertise, as I don't have a cabinet.
If you follow the recommendation on one of the posts I linked to, to test with evtest and/or jstest, what's the outcome?
Maybe we can start there?
-
Ok i'm going to try it. I come back soon
-
@loujez are you wiring them directly to the pins on the pie? If so how do you wire 26 buttons? I didn't know that was possible?
-
ok when i do this. the button 4 responds. When i press it, it is on, when i grab it it is off. The others buttons and joypad dont work
-
@TMNTturtlguy yes sorry, not 26 buttons but 26 pins ! of course. 4 are used for each joypad. Down, left right up x2
-
@loujez got it! Did you daisy chain the grounds from button to button?
This link is in English, I hope you can translate it. It is a good guide on how to do what you are trying to do.
-
@TMNTturtlguy Thank you ! I'm reading it. I give you a feedback after
-
@TMNTturtlguy ok i have already it read before. And what is called daisy chained is what ive done on my cab. But still the probleme. In fact each button is connected to a particular gpio pin and the other parts of microswitch are in a daisy chain that end up to the ground pin. I was already okay with that
-
@loujez if you have connected everything per the link and the ground, the buttons should register on the command line when you run jstest. Have you run this test? Her is a link to that
-
@TMNTturtlguy Yep i've done it 10 minutes ago. As i said the only button recognized is the button 4. And 2 buttons share this name. The others buttons are not recognized. i'm completely lost lol
-
@loujez I would disconnect all of your buttons and wires and follow the guide step by step to be sure that you do not have one wire wrong. If you follow the guide the buttons should at least register.
-
Ok thank you my friend for your help. I will do it tomorrow and i will give you the results oft the orperation. Thank you for everything ang have a good night ;)

@loujez you are welcome. Good luck.
