Re: buttons making game lag/freeze?

==SOLVED== The issue was cause by bad silicone pads, simply replacing my silicone pads that come in contact with the contact pads on the board fixed my issue, my games no longer freeze when pressing buttons. Special thanks to TinkerBoy for taking his time in helping me fix this issue. I'm still real...

Re: buttons making game lag/freeze?

I thought you said you already know what's causing it? You cannot obviously use the PWM audio pin you configured in config.txt for buttons. Well I have now tested it by removing all the PWM pins connected to buttons and only having PWM pins connected to audio. And I'm still having these freezing is...

Re: buttons making game lag/freeze?

So after a lot of testing and changing my whole pin layout on my Controller PCB I have discovered that what was causing my game o freeze was my pwm audio, apparently having buttons that also use pwm pins alongside the pwm audio will cause the game to freeze when pressing buttons. Some kind of confli...

Re: buttons making game lag/freeze?

Screen rotation is easy, just add this line to the config.txt display_rotate=2 (if that doesn't work it's rotate_display=2, I can't quite remember) As for the buttons, check for shorts, maybe those buttons are shorting on nearby GPIO pins? Use a multimeter if you've got one. The first step i would ...

buttons making game lag/freeze?

Today I solderd up my Tinkerboy controller PCB to my Pi zero, tested it out and it all mostly works. The issues i'm getting is the start and select buttons don't work at all, when holding either of them down they will just freeze whatever game I'm playing. I also get lag from holding down any of the...

GearBest Screen video connector?

Hey guys, so I have the GearBest Screen 3.5″ LCD TFT RGB Display Module, and I need the video connector that plugs into this port, so i can connect it up to my Pi Zero. But I have no idea what it's called or where I could buy one. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/437573652368588810/457550493...

Re: Am I missing anything? and build advice needed

check out hoolyhoo's screen bracket, it is a good choice, and has built in button wells and screw posts, which are very nice. As for the button board, it looks like a simple common ground PCB, so you would just solder each button to the pi's GPIO pins (i always follow this guide: http://www.sudomod...

Am I missing anything? and build advice needed

Hey Guys, this is going to be my first build. I made a previous post back in december asking about my shopping list, and I think I have all the parts. Now that I actually have some free time to spare I would like to actually start building my GBZ, but I feel like i'm still missing a few things. So h...

Re: Need advice for my GBZ parts shopping list

Most of that looks good. But you can save a bit of money by ordering these. But shipping will take longer. The gearbest screen doesn't need any modifications to run on 5v and the banggood powerboost is just as good as the adafruit one but much cheaper. https://m.gearbest.com/development-boards/pp_2...

You also need a PAM8403 audio amp and a low/high pass filter module. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192138732831 https://sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=452&hilit=pwm+oshpark Ah! yes thank you very much for telling me about this, completely fo...
