I just received my Picade console, the build went good but I am having issues with the completion. I do believe that my screen/driver board are bad as it has lines through it and other abnormalities to the screen. I decided to replace it with a 12" HDMI compatible one from Amazon. In the mean time I…

Curious. It could be a programming issue. What do you see if you connect it up to your Pi, drop to the command line and run sudo lsusb This should list all connected USB peripherals. And also, ls /dev/ttyA*

Hi there sir. Well I already have the picade card connected via the supplied usb cable to my raspberry pi 3 card. I attached a keyboard and then hit F4 to get to the screen and input the supplied commands. Please find attached pictures of the results V/r Dale [image] [image]

Curious, not a whisper of Picade there. Do you have another USB cable you could try?

i changed out to the usb cable that i use to transfer data from my Samsung phone to the PC and still have the same indications i am showing power on the picade. and the reset looks like it works. Is this board supposed to be “plug and play”?

Yes, it’s absolutely supposed to be plug and play. It should just show up and function like a regular keyboard/gamepad, with each button corresponding to a keypress by default.

Sorry about that ill have to figure out how to turn it off or switch to “another” one :) So far i do “believe” i have tried all 4 ports. This build has been fighting me from the start. I bought it from a company in the states called “MCM Electronics” thought it was cool… i have no clue what their wa…

just on the off chance i tried a 3rd cable still no joy… plugged a USB controller into the “pi” and it was recognized right off the bat :(

Thanks for trying everything. It looks like it’s faulty. That shouldn’t happen, since we test all of our Picade PCBs. But, granted, dodgy ones do slip through from time to time when something marginal passes testing but fails in transit, or upon first use :( I noticed you’ve already got a support t…

i would just like to say that your company is awesome!! Many thanks to Matt and yourself for all the help. As we say “two thumbs up”. i would say that the fault with this would lay in the company on my side of the pond as you never know how they treated it before shipping it out ;) best regards and …
