PICADE - X Hat- Buttons + Joystick not detecting

Solved again. I but the officil charguer and the ray and limitations dissapear.

Thanks for your help

Now I have another problem. Just put a sd card with a retropie image, perfectly installed with all type of roms , so when I configure the joysticks it came crazy, the 1up button is like hotkey. The select button convert into save and load state. Etc

Its recognized like a keyboard with the instructions of a keyboard

So its impossible to play

Also the last problem is when I turn off the pi with the button, the screen freeze with poer down, but the screen continue on. So I have to unplug the cable. It was not supoosed to do it automatically?

You’ll have to wait for somebody from Pimoroni to chime in, I don’t own a Picade. @gadgetoid

Yes the Picade controls are set up as keyboard inputs, but if you step through the control configuration in RetroPie they will function fine in the menu/games.

The HotKey button is whichever button you configure as HotKey. I changed mine around recently because I kept screen recording, and now it works pretty well.

These are how I currently have mine set up:

[LT] /--------------------------------\ [RT]
           [U]           [B] [Y] [RS]
        [L][D][R]      [A] [X] [LS]
     \--------------------------------/
        [START]             [SELECT]

with LT (Left Trigger) as the hotkey enable since I had trouble with it on SELECT since it kept entering recording mode.

This makes [LT] + [START] exit, and [LT] + [X] go into the emulator config menu, which are both super handy.

Since virtually no Arcade-style or classic consoles had Left/Right triggers (just left/right shoulder buttons on the SNES, GBA) it’s usually the best choice to reuse one of these.

I have the same problem, but on a Raspberry Pi 3b (not the b+). I am using the official Raspberry power cable.
Power on with the power button works, but all other buttons and the joystick cannot be detected in the Control Configuration in Retropie.
Power off does not work either. I could not verify if sound is working.
X Hat sits tightly and parallel on/to the Raspberry Bi 3b.
Could it be that the X Hat is defect?

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

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.rules exists

Yes, I do that configurations but when I start a game and press por example select, it goes back to the menu screen. Also if a press start it says " recording in pi/…" . If a press RS , it says “Fast forward”.

These are my problems, I have the same configuration as you. In the menus it is perfect, but when I try a game this happens.

Maybe is a retropie problem, because it thinks I am using a keyboard no a gamepad at games

Anything I can do?

I’d say rebind your controls and make sure to skip either Left Trigger or Right Trigger and explicitly bind a hotkey. Sounds like you might have let RetroPie pick a default, which can be problematic.

Yes , rebindings keys continue the problem. All the time in all games it recognises it as a keyboard. I tried differents things but without a solution. I am desesperate because I cant play with my picade

Ok - this is the best progress i’ve made so far- thanks for posting such in-depth steps.

  • Already installed wiringpi - but re-ran and confirmed it was installed.
  • Ran the watch on GPIO status and was shocked to see all the buttons we’re being detected including joystick.
  • picade.dtbo exists in the correct directory
  • dtoverlay=picade is in the config.txt
  • 10-picade.rules exists in the correct directory.

So looking good up until there. As a last step ran dmesg and thats where im seeing an issue.

Okay, I haven’t seen that before. Do you see a significant number of these messages? Is there anything else related to “input” or “gpio_keys” in the dmesg output?

If you dmesg | grep input you should see a line reading something like:

input: gpio_keys as /devices/platform/gpio_keys/input/input3

The next thing to check is if you have a keyboard device showing up in /dev/input/. It might be /dev/input/event3 (depending on what the line from dmesg says) and should always be available at /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio_keys-event

So you can:

cat /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio_keys-event

And hit a few buttons. You should see garbage appearing on the screen. This is the raw event protocol, and is normal. Hit “ctrl+c” to exit.

If you sudo apt install evtest you should also be able to:

evtest /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio_keys-event

Which will decode that protocol into something almost human-readable.

If you don’t see a corresponding input device, or /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio_keys-event is not showing up, then presumably those errors you’re seeing are fatal and something odd is happening at the driver level that we’ll have to delve into. In that case, could you run:

lsb_release -a
uname -a

And what might also be helpful is:

dtc -I fs /proc/device-tree -o dt.dts

Which will write out a dt.dts file that you can stick into pastebin or include here.

Another two questions I have.
1st. When I turn off the picade with the yellow power button, the screen continues ON with some letters. Do I need to power it of with the power button on the top?

2nd. Can I add a microfan to the picade hat? Where? I reach 85• degrees of temperature so I the icon of advertence appear

Thanks

Ouch, 85c means the CPU and GPU are throttling back. If I was going to add a fan, I think I’d try to mount it to the side of the case, to blow / suck hot air out. Do you by chance own a dremel tool? Mine has come in very handy for making fan grills and ventilation holes etc. Or get a fan that comes with a wire grill, then just make a round hole for it. Then put some holes someplace else out of site for cool air to get in. Like a PC case is setup.

Replied inline to your instructions above -

Many thanks gadgetoid. Your proposed solution now helped me to get at least the input (all buttons & joystick) detected in emulationstation on a brand new retropie image which I burned to my SD card. As I already have another image with an older retropie version (not stretch but jessie) which I had installed when my raspberry pi 3b (not 3b+) was hooked up to my TV, I wanted to ask you whether the X Hat and thus the input controls should also work on this older retropie version. I have installed this older image on my SD card and performed all the steps for installation, including your solution for the buttons and joystick, but they are not detected in emulationstation. When pressing the buttons and moving the joystick all inputs are recognized in wiringpi. Nonetheless, they are not detected in emulationstation. I have also tried getting it to work by upgrading retropie to the newer stretch version. But that did not result in the inputs getting detected in ES either.
So finally my basic question again: Can I get the X Hat running on my old jessie version of retropie. Or do the X Hat drivers require to switch to a new, blank version of retropie (stretch) without any of my existing Roms and scraped metadata installed. Thank you for your time and support!

Seems to be the same issue im having… It must be something with using a pre-existing image.

Now that i think of it, I never did a completely fresh install on a card but rather have been using an IMG I’ve spent a lot of time currating/customizing over the last year… that i just upgraded all the packages on.

Same as you Rob mines built on the last version of jessie vs stretch.

Tonight I’m gonna try updating to Stretch and seeing if that works, and if not trying a completely fresh install. Would hate to have to completely rebuild my image again, but if it means getting this guy to work -

I hope you are successful in getting the inputs to work after the upgrade to stretch. Don’t forget to make a backup of the existing image before upgrading to stretch. I had some issues after the upgrade with the VLC packages not being installed, so I could no longer start emulationstation. Got that fixed by now but please don’t ask me how. I had to try various methods until I got it to work again. One more thing I wanted to add is that sound is also not working on my old image. But it did already work on the brand new stretch image. So I guess it seems to be a software or driver issue why, inputs don’t work. Correction: Sound is working on the existing image which I upgraded to stretch. Only the inputs do not work.

Hi gadgetoid,
I still did not get it to work in my existing image. Please find below the output I get when running dmesg

Could it be that these 99-xxx files are interferring with the setup of the picade controls in emulationstation?

Any solution about how I can turn off the pi directly (also with the screen) with the yellow button?

The power button does that. It completely cuts power.
