Function button

Post by thejordonian » Mon Nov 13, 2017 9:15 pm

Hello! I just built my Mintypi yesterday only to realize I didn't install my function button. So after taking it all a part and adding the button I can't seem to get it to actually work. I tripped checked all my soldering and connections and making sure it's all sound, I even checked the tactile button I have and it works as well. I just can't seem to get the Mintypi to see the function button. I'm at a lose here and if anyone has this issue and fixed it it would be a big help! thank you. Also I tried soldering it straight to the Pi board and same thing, nothing.

Thank you

Are you using the latest mintypi Image? Try re-flashing your SD card first. Use this link to download the latest image.

Make sure you have the gpio hole to the left of 'cs' soldered. That is meant for the function button I believe. See my picture. Red line points to the gpio I'm speaking of.

Yes it was an oversight on my part that I forgot to label that point and Wermy had an image indicating the GPIO but that was also wrong so alot of confusion about it. I think it has been fixed (Wermy's image) but the golden rule here is the GPIO to the LEFT of CS is the GPIO for MODE Button.
