dragon rise USB : PCB ENCODER ISSUE

[neutrios]

Okay guy i'm new on the forum and i'm little bit noob in electronics but i want to understand.

I have issue with my PCB dragonrise (chinese aliexpress product you know...), here the first issue :

• My RPI doesn't recognize button, when i push one of them there is a "not define" message. I've got 2 RPI, the 4 and the 3, at the begining i thought that was the fact the RPI 4 is to new fort the version of retropie, but i have the same problem on the RPI3...

So because i'm tenacious, i've try one method that works but i want to understand why this is so hard to configure... I unplug all the buttons and configure each button one by one to plug and unplug each of them until it works... and it works !

Someone have the explanation to this ?

Thanks everyone for your reply !

Looks like an encoder/wiring issue. If you test with jstest, outside of EmulationStation, are the buttons working ?

I have a DragonRise Inc. USB Encoder and haven't had any issues mapping the buttons in Retropie 4.6 on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB

the config is here ...

/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig/DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg

and inside the .cfg is my button mapping

input_driver = "udev"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
input_l_btn = "0"
input_load_state_btn = "0"

input_left_btn = "11"
