Retroarch help with controller

[pierpa86]

Hi at all, I can not get out of this problem, I'm trying to use a joystick with 2 axes seen from linux (retropie) as /dev/input/js0,i can manualy configure it on mame but retroark keeps telling me no joypad Detected in autodect screen, i try to use js0 only for directional movements and keyboard for button

thanks in advanced for any support.

sudo jstest /dev/input/js0

         Driver version is 2.1.0.
         Joystick (python-uinput) has 2 axes (X, Y)
         and 0 buttons ().
         Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
         Axes:  0:  5170  1:  7281

this is the driver in python

    #!/usr/bin/python

         import spidev
         import time
         import os
         import uinput

    # Open SPI bus
            spi = spidev.SpiDev()
            spi.open(0,0)

   # Function to read SPI data from MCP3008 chip
   # Channel must be an integer 0-7
            def ReadChannel(channel):
            adc = spi.xfer2([1,(8+channel)<<4,0])
            data = ((adc[1]&3) << 8) + adc[2]
            return data

         device =uinput.event([
              uinput.ABS_X+(0,900,0,0),
              uinput.ABS_Y+(0,900,0,0),
               ])

        joy_x=1
        joy_y=2

  while True:

joy_x_value=ReadChannel(joy_x)
device.emit(uinput.ABS_X,joy_x_value,syn=False)

joy_y_value=ReadChannel(joy_y)
device.emit(uinput.ABS_Y,joy_y_value)    

time.sleep(0.020)

solved... emulation station cant detect joypad with no buttons, you need to use joypad with at least 1 button for detect.
