@corminos said in Setting ServoStik using python and GPIO pins: I see my problem now. When I first read the instructions on the link, I did not understand what he meant by "switching to hardware mode". At the time I did not have the joysticks and did not understand what that meant. Now I do. I'm going to do some more reading and then give it a try. Just a little nervous because this is a one-way ticket and I really don't feel like shelling out more for another control board if I screw it up. Thanks to those who read and responded. I love how active this forum is. Hey there. I'm just wondering if you had any luck with controlling a ServoStik with GPIO? Did you convert the board to hardware mode and have success? Thanks.

@unicornsonlsd I did this using the RGB Commander utility. It sets the servo stick from 4/8 way automatically depending upon the game you launch in MAME. DISCLAIMER: I'm using RGB Commander v.3 with one of the older RetroPie Jessie images. Haven't tested the current v.4 with the newest RetroPie 4.4 Strech image. Might be worth a try though!
