New Picade setup - no sound or joystick detction

Picade
2

After some helpful debugging tips from @Gnurou in discord chat and from this post PICADE - X Hat- Buttons + Joystick not detecting, I tried the additional following steps, but did not get further in solving the issue. However, have more details that might help ID the cause.

  1. Reinstalling picadehat script install and rebooting. (curl https://get.pimoroni.com/picadehat | bash)

  2. output of “ls -l /sys/class/input/” https://clitxt.com/t/vp9-1537337922.txt - expect to see gpio-keys device there, but don’t

  3. Steps for debugging hardware:

  • drop to terminal from ES by hitting F4 (you will need a keyboard!)
  • install wiringpi for the gpio utility: sudo apt install wiringpi
  • run watch -n 0.1 gpio readall to watch your GPIO status
  • hit some buttons, twiddle the joystick (slowly, 0.1 is a tenth of a second so any action <0.1s may not be visible) and see if anything changes

< I did see some activity when hitting buttons from the console, so that was a bit promising. Joystick only registered some activity when moving up. lt, rt, down didn’t see any activity.>

  1. It’s possible that the dtoverlay/drivers/etc for the controls aren’t loading properly, to debug the software:
  • Make sure /boot/overlays/picade.dtbo exists
  • Make sure dtoverlay=picade is in /boot/config.txt
  • Check dmesg output for any glaring errors
  • Check that /etc/udev/rules.d/10-picade.rul

Here is output from “dmesg” command: https://clitxt.com/t/2ck-1537335849.txt
