l2/r2 analog stick board

[Flavor]

Okay, we're making progress, everything is working now except my L2/R2.  Analog, face buttons.  Everything else is great!

Interestingly, it seems I'm able to assign the L2/R2 buttons in the actual make config, but after I run `gpio readall` post setup, they're not showing as being pressed at all.

I've attached 3 files now:

• The readout before L2/R2 was pressed.
  
• The same readout after both have been pressed and held in.
  
• The contents of `/mk_arcade_joystick.conf`
  

Thanks again so much for your help with this.

Hey, bumping.  Still haven't quite figured this issue out, if anybody is willing to help me.

I didn't notice this before. It's good that you bumped. Check your mk_arcade_joystick.conf file and look at the gpio=4,17,6,5,19,26,16,18,23,24,15,14,-20,-43,-42,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1 piece.

The -20 is okay.  That's normal, as the power button is wired differently than all the others.
The -43 and -42 aren't good if you're using our hardware.
Try changing the whole thing to this:
gpio=4,17,6,5,19,26,16,18,23,24,15,14,-20,43,42,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1
I hope that'll fix L2/R2. 

Try that and post about what is still left to fix.

All seems to be working!

Flavor, I really can't thank you enough. I appreciate your patience and guidance, sincerely.

Hey abd333,

Would you take a look at this thread, and see if you think it's likely the same issue?  I think it seems like the same.  If so, this may be some new issue.  Please reply there.

I'd be curious to know what steps lead you to this.  I think there is something happening here where the kernel and the kernel source code headers get out of sync.  Then, you can't build the mk_arcade driver.  

Thanks,
Ed

Hey Ed, thanks for linking that thread! You were correct, this was indeed the root issue. Here are the exact steps that gave me a working solution:

1. Fresh install of IMAGE=Freeplay_CM3_20051201

2. SSH and do: `cd ~/Freeplay/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi/; make config`. This SUCCEEDS -- device recognizes all buttons including L2+R2. Here is relevant stdout snippet:

[L2] button bind on pin 43

, reversed logic

[R2] button bind on pin 42

, reversed logic

After system reboots, L2+R2 buttons are not recognized in EmulationStation controller config or Retroarch input config -- after reading snippet it occured to me this is to be expected due to "reverse logic". 

3. There was mention of this issue a few pages back in this thread so i edited `/etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_joystick.conf` to flip signs: -43 -> 43 , -42 -> 42  to give me a file like:

options mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=4 hkmode=1 gpio=4,17,6,5,19,26,16,18,23,24,15,14,-20,43,42,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1

4. After a reboot, L2+R2 buttons are recognized in ES controller config (interestingly, they weren't recognized in Retroarch until i performed another reboot after setting controller config in ES)

5. Success! L2+R2 buttons now correctly configured
