gpionext's Issues

Config tool not seeing gpio even though its working

So I was able to wire up and successfully configure a joystick and buttons with GPIOnext with the config wizard.

Now, I wired up a second joystick and I can't reconfigure anything.. I get to the part where it wants me to hold the joystick UP and it doesn't recognize the switch. The strange thing is this same joystick is still working fine in retropie as a joystick device.

I tried checking the GPIO pins with the gpio command and they are showing as triggered there just fine.
I tried running the remove script and the GPIOnext folder and reinstalling from scratch, same issue.

Really not looking forward to reinstalling retropie from scratch again :(

---

Update.. I have a pin ouput I use to control the lights on my cabinet.. seems to confuse the config utility in GPIOnext. Workaround of unplugging that pin during configuration solves the problem.

A physical pull up resistor is fitted on this channel!

Hi there,

I am currently facing a problem that makes my GPIOnext not working. But it was yesterday :/

Here are the pins I am using 3,5,7,8,9,12,31,33,35,36,37,40.

And the message I do get:

Missing an uninstall option

Thanks for making this, but there should be an equally easy way to uninstall it. Now I unfortunately have to understand the code to undo the installation.

I had seen it suggested over Adafruit-Retrogame, but it was not immediately clear that it couldn't be configured on its own but requires being run with Retropie. The "gpionext config" also allows setting the target keys, but there's confusingly no way to either manually set the mapping or have it auto-detect while in configure. I recommend that you make that clear in the README as it certainly wasn't obvious to me.

No module named evdev

After the installation, when I try to config, I obtain this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/pi/GPIOnext/config_manager.py", line 14, in <module> from evdev import ecodes as e ImportError: No module named 'evdev'

I'm trying to install it on retropie (last version) on a rpi3

PINOUTS DEFAULT AND ON/OFF COMMANDS

mholgatem, hello how are you? Greetings here from BRAZIL!

First of all, I would like to thank you. His project solved an old problem of the RETROPIE, in relation to the GPIO.

I would like you to clarify two issues that I believe have been misunderstood in GITHUB:

1. • WHAT ARE THE GPIO PINS USED TO CONTROL 1 AND 2 BY DEFAULT;
2. • HOW TO INCLUDE COMMANDS ON / OFF BY GPIO.

It would be very interesting a video of you on this. But I would be grateful if you answer here too.

GPIOnext and PWM audio

Hi, I am building a GBZ with a Raspberry Pi zero w and after I install and configure GPIOnext the sound through PWM (PWM0 on GPIO #18 (ALT5) and PWM1 on GPIO #13 (ALT0)) don't work... before this it was working well.
any suggestion?

Thanks!!

i2c for analog input

Request for adding i2c analog controllers. I can see some i2c implementation on GPIOneer but sadly it seems the work didnt progress to GPIOnext.
Can you provide details on how analog is supported in GPIOnext?

Can GPIOnext run on an Asus Tinkerboard?

Hi,

I have Retropie running on an Asus Tinkerboard and I've tried to install GPIOnext, I have run into a few install issues and now seem to have hit a brick wall running gpionext config. I get an error with the RPi.GPIO module, it only runs on a Raspberry Pi. Do you know of any work around?

Thanks

udevadm info

I am trying to follow the tutorial on https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595666 to order the joysticks to make GPIOnext always the main joystick.
In it, I found that doing

udevadm info -q all -n /dev/input/js0

you should get these 2 values

ID_VENDOR=
ID_MODEL=

I dont get any of those with GPIOnext, so the question is.

Is there any chance to make these 2 values available and configurable in any way ?

Thanks !

CPU usage goes very high when holding a button and pressing others

holding a button, then pressing other buttons several times while the first button is still held, makes CPU usage according to htop go from 0.0% to 40% on a pi zero. this seems to persist regardless of configuration flags. it also creates a lot of python processes. releasing all buttons makes CPU usage go back to zero and removes the extra processes.

Resistors: Should I use any on my buttons?

Hi,
I am actually using GPIONext without resistors in my buttons. They are directly connected.
Should I use any on my buttons and joystick?

My GPIONext config for "gpionext set pulldown" is as default [false] .
Thanks !!

GPIOnext is not recognised

My Problem is, after installing a fbtp driver driver link( https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/295/retropie-and-waveshare-32b/36) for a Waveshare 32b screen i cannot add any buttons. If i type in evtest GPIOnext is not available. I know this seems like a problem that you shouldnt care about but adafruits parts are way to expensive and that display is working pretty fine i just cannot get evtest working . Can you please help, many of us who are Retropie are forced to use adafruits Display and its way to expensive. here is the code

Add deadzone config option?

I notice that there is way too much sensitivity for the direction pad. It really gets in the way of a good user experience (even navigating through ES menus is a pain) - playing games such as Pacman or any S'MUPs (any game that relies heavily on direction control) becomes a nightmare sometimes, as the buttons seem to be doing whatever they want to do, due to their extreme "out-of-center" (for the lack of a better term) sensitivity.

An easy fix for this is to add a specific config for setting deadzone values. By deadzone, I mean the threshold value for the daemon to detect a transition from the center (all 4 direction buttons released) to any direction. The greater this value, the more the direction pad must be moved to any direction.

Thank you.

two player configuration for Retropie

Hi,
Is there have any way to configure second player/joyistik? So, i needed like two different keyboards emulation at the same service. Thanks..

Is there a way to hold a button and it fired the command multiple times?

I have GPIOnext working great with two buttons (thank you!), one for volume up and one for volume down. I'd really like to be able to hold the volume buttons and they fire the increase or decrease volume commands numerous times. Is this possible with GPIOnext?

Button from multiple board and loop

Hi i want to make a gba sp raspberry pi my question is if i want to add y x button in a new loop cause the other loop is on a gba sp board and there no connection for that, so i have two loop and two ground so my question is does i can with gpionext make on joypad from that also does i need a anolog to digital for psp 1000 joystick

Installation fails

Hi,
Somehow the script is working, but I had some installation issues, so I would like to share my complete experience here. I don't know if this can be classified as an issue 'per se'.

1. I had gpioneer previously, but I never tested properly because I'm trying to build a GBZ, and it's really hard to me.
2. I removed gpioneer with remove.sh script. It said there weren't installed several packages, but I didn't mind. I don't have a clue about unix.
3. I installed gpionext script and run installer with bash. At some point, the rpi0 rebooted continously after 15 s running. So I had to make a new retropie installation.
4. After I configured wifi, etc, again, I installed gpionext script again and run the installation with bash. This time I had error conections with jessie repository. The installation finished and the script asked if I want to run configuration. I said 'yes' but I had en error about a missing package (or similar, I don't remember).
5. I run the installer a second time, and failed again but later than the first one. Configuration still failed.
6. I run the installer a third time, and apparently nothing failed. The configuration run fine and I could configure the buttons. Nice menu by the way.
7. I run ES and it detected the "gamepad" and could configure all buttons.

Thanks to the author. Now I'm closer to finish my GBZ.

Python scripts through commands option

Hello, first of all thanks in advance. I would like to know if it is possible to execute a Python script through the command option in gpionext. I tried to run with "sudo python /home/pi/script.py" and it did not work but if I execute a normal command I can make it work. I do not know if it's because gpionext is not designed to run Python scripts or if I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks

Diag

Hello,

Thx a lot for this. It seems to work great.
Anyway when I'm playing it goes to pause mode each time I'm using to keys at the meantime (up+left for example)
Any idea how to fix this ?
Thx a lot.

GPIOnext crash

Hi all
I installed GPIOnext, configured joysticks and buttons for 2 players (26 entries in total; 1 joystick and 10 buttons for player 1 and 1 joystick and 8 buttons for player 2).
I also tweeked a little with combo_delay and debounce values to get a better gameplay but I don't remember the last numbers I set. Is there a way to check?
I quicky noticed in emulationstation menus that 1 single button press jumps 2 lines not always but happens alot. Some times it get stuck and keeps scrolling in one direction.
Here you can see the system output when I pressed 3 diferent buttons (1 click each).

But in game happens a worst cenario. In games that you need to keep pressing a button, for example a racing game that you need to keep pressing the accelarator, all buttons stop working after pressing the same button for 15 or 30 seconds.
This is the error I got:

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3b+, running retropie 4.6. All gpio are connected this way: GPIO pin -> microswitch -> ground

GPIOnext doesn´t works with pins 27 and 28

Hi!
I´m trying to configure GPIOnext with pins 27 and 28 but it doesn´t recognize with tehe default pins and if I try setting pins it sends me an error message like this:

Is there any way to use this pins with GPIOnext?

Thanks

Button not detected during "Hold [button name]" in config

Hi,

I just installed GPIOnext and everything appears to have installed correctly. I run the config manager, select Joypad 1, select 0 sticks, select Start, then press enter. The screen instructs to Hold Start Button but does not recognize the button press. I've got my button wired as in this tutorial and set GPIOnext to pulldown. I verified the button is wired correctly by running GPIO.input(10) and checking for 0's and 1's. I have tried moving the input wire to other GPIO ports just in case, but have not been able to setup this button yet

I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 running RetroPie 4.6. Button is wired VCC -> 1k resistor -> button -> GPIO board pin 10

NO GAMPADS DETECTED

I've gotten it to detect a game pad tons of times but all of the sudden after I configure some more buttons it just doesn't detect a game pad anymore

Doesn't detect GPIO pins 0 and 1.

when running the gpio-next program, everything goes well but it fails to recognize pins 0 and 1.

Run commands

Hi all

I have used gpionext it great sucess and most it simple programmable buttons like:
sudo halt
or volume+ or down:
/usr/bin/amixer -q -c 1 sset Headphone 4dB- unmet no cap

But now i am stuck it running scripts, for example "/home/pi/screen.sh", programmable with or without sudo it full paths and the script simple don´t run. The script are mark it executable and i test the script first running ./screen.sh.

What is wrong ? How i put the script working it a button from gpionext...

EmulationStation not recognising GPIOnext config?

Sorry, newb here so please feel free to ask questions of me.
Raspberry PI 3 B, GPIOnext joypad, Arcade Game, Power Control System (Jaycar XC9062 and XC9064). Using current RetroPie build.
Steps taken:
Boot ok,
launches into EmulationStation,
press F4, as per included 1 page instruction;
sudo apt update,
sudo apt install git python3-dev -y,
git clone blah GPIOnext.git,
sudo ./install.sh
Follow all prompts to setup joystick, buttons, etc
gpionext test 1
All results seem correct and successful.
launch EmulationStation, Welcome screen, 1 Gamepad detected.
As soon as I press any key to configure device, “GPIOnext Joypad 1” on screen with “OK” below and that’s it. Nothing progresses except F4.

Please, pulling what’s left of my hair out, have honestly searched multiple forums, no close results.

Thank you kindly,

Ed.

Getting the "Failed to add edge detection" even after running remove.sh and reinstalling

I have a Waveshare 32b and a Gameboy Zero Button PCB wired up to my Raspberry Pi Zero W. Both the Waveshare and the Button PCB work separately (so I know everything is functionality correct) but I have run into an issue with GPIOnext. Some of my Button PCB wires go to "no-connect" connections that the Waveshare 32b has (specificaly pins 3, 5, 7, 8, and 10) so if I configured GPIOnext on a fresh install of RetroPie - GPIOnext works great. However, once I use the "LDC-Show" driver from Waveshare, GPIOnext will fail to start due to the "Failed to add edge detection" error message above. I completely understand why this error is occurring (and would love to know about any workarounds,) but my issue is with GPIOnext.

I've run the "remove.sh" done a reboot, and then run the "install.sh" only to find I can't run "gpionext config" because it fails for the same reason. I've made sure to run "gpionext stop" first, and tried to do "gpionext set pins default" and many combinations of the above...but there must be some remaining configuration laying around the filesystem that is preventing me from cleaning/reinstalling GPIOnext. Any idea what would cause this?

I realize I could just reimage the sdcard and start from scratch to not use the same pins, but that seems like overkill for something that appears to be a GPIOnext issue. Any idea what this could be?

Thank you for making GPIOnext and thanks for the help!

Update: I even tried removing the entire GPIOnext folder from my ~/ directory, and then getting a fresh copy from Git, but I run into the same issue. Also, just from a cursory glance, it looks like GPIOnext is using a SQLlite database? It seems to not be persisted outside the ~/GPIOnext directory, but obviously something is stored elsewhere.

Lag on keypress

Hi !! I got GPIONext installed on Retropie. I configured 1 controller. Everything if working perfectly....except that I am getting a lot of lag on inputs. I try setting up a Joypad and Keyboard...same issue. I am testing in Track and Field where you have to rapidly press the button to run faster....With GPIONext...I have a hard time running....But with my USB Keyboard , USB Gamepad and USB Control Stick....everything is fine.

Failed to add edge detection

I've a SpotPear 1.54 display with some GPIO buttons in snes configuration, when i try to config I have the error Failed to add edge detection

Attempting to use GPIOnext causes restart

Trying to use gpionext causes a restart every time.
Tried:

1. gpionext config
2. sudo python3 /home/pi/GPIOnext/config_manager.py
3. gpionext config --pins 36,38,39,40
4. gpionext stop
5. any other gpionext command

Switching to and running commands as root user still results in the same behaviour.

Any attempt at using GPIOnext results in a restart of the system.

I am using the latest Raspbian Stretch based RetroPie image (4.4).
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3 B

Emulationstation Thinks Some Buttons are Keyboard Input

Hello,
I'm new in raspberry pi and don't know a lot of things.
Following a tutorial, I made a handheld gaming device similar to the one that Adafruit made.

Using GPIOnext, I successfully configured and mapped each button, and I configured them fine in emulationstation. The problem occurs when I restart the raspberry pi, some buttons get mixed up and when I re-configure in emulationstation, every time I press hold the buttons A, B and X, it says KEYBOARD instead of GPIOXX. The other buttons are fine, it's just these three.
So I have to re-configure in GPIOnext and type "gpionext start" every time I turn on the raspberry pi.

What causes this and how do I solve it permanently?

Thanks!

Everything seems to work except the Dpad

Image RetroPie 4.4 was used. Everything seemed to work out, I was able to configure every button. But in Emulationstation everything works except the four directions of the Dpad. When I run gpionext test 1 also every single button is recognized. Why does this issue occur?

How to tell the deamon to run with flags?

Hi !!
I stoped the daemon and made some tests with the command with flags.
Now that I have found how I want the daemon to run, how do I tell the daemon to run with certain flags?

GPIOnext Pull Down

Hi,
A little background, I initially set up GPIOnext on a Pi Zero without any issues however I noticed when any button was held the PWM audio out would stop and would only resume after the key was released. I thought I would try to see if switching to Pull Down switches solved this issue. However, I have run into an issue when using the GPIOnext pull-down flags. I'll try to explain as best as I can. I have installed a completely fresh RetroPie and have installed both WiringPi and GPIOnext. I have simplified the project to a singular GPIO input as shown below:

In the boot config:

Sudo nano /boot/config.txt

I have changed the pin state by adding the line:

gpio=_PIN_=ip,pd

Then by running the gpio read 28 I was able to confirm that that pin was indeed correctly set to pull down. "Reading 0 when released and 1 when pressed".

I then configured GPIOnext to use the pull down flags using:

gpionext set pulldown true
gpionext reload

So far so good, using gpio read 28 the pin was still reading correctly. The next stage was to configure the button in GPIOnext using:

gpionext config

To keep things simple as possible I configured joystick 1 with 0 Dpads and only one button selected, in this case button "A". After proceeding I enter the configure Joypad 1 page where I am instructed to Hold the button. The button, however, is not detected in this stage.

When I exit the gpionext configuration page I then try the wiringpi command

gpio read 28

Now the pin state has inverted and is now reading as 1 instead of 0. It seems when entering gpionext config reverts the changes made above to the pin back to the original pull up state.

I've tried to explain as detailed as possible and am quite new to this so if I have missed something let me know and I'll try to add it. It's probably something simple that I have missed but any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Kind Regards,
George

Failed to add edge detection

I'm running retropie on a raspberry pi 3 b+, and am getting the following error: RuntimeError: failed to add edge detection. i'm having a problem sshing into my pi (pretty sure it's unrelated) so i can't copy and paste the traceback. I'm currently working on getting ssh to work, if you happen to have a answer/solution without the tracebask, feel free to share. If need be, i can retype the traceback, although i'm lazy and would rather not. I'm hoping the pic will help, sorry for the quality.

wont work at all

I instlal the git repo to my retropie build and I have a breadboard with a few buttons on just to test these buttons are 100% wired correctly i run the install.sh and all is good i then config all is good I run gpionext start all is good I go to emulation station my buttons dont work so i reboot my system they still dont work so i reconfig I do that 5 times .

retropi thinks i have joystick 3 and 4

I removed mk-arcade-joystick from the dkms tree and installed gpionext and configured. It works fine but retropi thinks i'm using joysticks 3 and 4. Am I doing something wrong ?

Alwas on

I get these message on config:
Please release all buttons to continue
and in retropie one tab on left and it stays on.

Joystick Issue

I wired up some buttons and a joystick. When I try to configure the joystick it doesn’t not recognise it when I hold it down or right even though it finds the pins when I hold up and left. Otherwise there haven’t been any issues.

No Gamepad detected in emulationstation

Hi, I am trying to make a small 4 player NES emulator with GPIO gamepads using RetroPie on a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I only have 4 buttons at the moment, so I made a D-pad and set up GPIOnext. It works when I type "gpionext test 1", but I can't get it to work in the emulationstation. I already tried the reload, start and stop commands, making a clean install of RetroPie, configuring 4 gamepads with only an A button on each.
My question is how can I get it to work in emulationstation and how does the daemon work? Do I need to run "gpionext start" or "gpionext reload" on boot before "emulationstation"?
A weird thing that might be important is that after I reboot using RetroPie's menu my keyboard stops working too.
The pins I am using are 3,5,7,9(Ground),11

install.sh does nothing

Upon typing in "bash GPIOnext/install.sh", it does nothing. No messages no nothing. Just goes back to prompt immediately.

request - I2c functionality for extra Gpios

request to add I2c functionality - add an adc / mux for extra pins for 2 player setups(just for start, select, coin, exit buttons) -
And here's why..

i built an arcade console, using a pi3 and Gpioneer..
I'm using PiSupply using pins 23 & 24 for startup and soft shutdown of the pi.
problem is im now atleast 2 pins short for the standard 2 player setup if i was to use an ADC on pins 3 & 5 i believe this would solve this issue, for start, select, coin, exit, not for player keys(due to any delay that may be introduced)
i love Gpioneer and its easy to use, the only thing holding this up is the limited number of pins on the pi3 - 8 ground pins ? really? lol...
(i simply am not smart enough to get pins 27 & 28 to work at all)

Still getting "Please release all buttons to continue" after update

I followed the instructions here #2

cd ~/GPIOnext
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mholgatem/GPIOnext/master/update.sh
git add update.sh
sudo bash update.sh

I'm still getting the error message "Please release all buttons to continue"

It usually occurs after inputting pin 40.

is GPIOnext works with analog joystick ?

Hi !
in first thanks for GPIOnext, it's a great software,
i need to use it with an analog joystick, i have been search on internet but nothing,
GPIOnext take only one way on the joystick, not the two way : left and right for example.
How can i work with an analog joystick ? i need a analog to digital converter like the ADS1015 ?

device selection not working in config menu

I installed gpionext on retropie 4.3 on a raspberrypi 3.
I can navigate up and down in the config menu, but the item selection does not work.
Nothing happens on pressing ENTER or SPACE or the like.
I cannot exit either - had to cancel with CTRL+C.
I was logged in via ssh.
Unfortunately, I don't see a manual way for configuring gpionext.

How do you uninstall?

Thanks a lot for the plugin. I've been very satisfied with it, but I no longer use GPIO for input, so the package has become unnecessary for me.

How do I uninstall it?

emulationstation setup - no controllers detected

Hello, i'm building a raspberry handheld and want to use buttons conneced to gpio pins as input in retropie.
I succesfully added them in the gpionext config and they work when i type gpionext test 1.
But i cannot get them to setup in retropie.
The emulationstation setupscreen only shows "No gamepads connected." and holding or pressing buttons does no difference. If i connect a usb keyboard, the usb keyboard works, but the gpio buttons are still not recognised.

How can i get the virtual joystick to work in retropie?

error

I'm trying to install, but this error pops up, what should I do?
