dpad response is poor

Hey all, I just finished my build and everything is working (which is really cool :mrgreen: thanks to the whole community here, you guys are awesome) but when browsing through the emulators or when playing the dpad would skip a step or two. I mean instead of going left one step I would go left two steps at once. Same for up and down. I played around with the screws holding the PCB and I noticed a slight change, but I can't get it work 100% properly. Anyone else had the same issue? Thank you guys..

Can you post the code you are using for the Teensy?

Thanks for the quickuick reply.

I followed wermys guide step by step and used the code he shared here: http://sudomod.com/wp-content/uploads/2 ... y_Zero.zip

I also could post the exact code if that helps :)

i am using the same code, and have the same issue... also a/b buttons often register a key press twice (if i press once)

I tried my pi0 with retropie with an external USB hub on my TV and I noticed some skipping as well. It just happens every once in a while but it happens quite regularly. I guess its could just be a performance issue.

It happens with me on helders AIO v1.4. Not super frequent (maybe once every 10-15 min?) and it's manageable though it does suck for games that are input intensive. I don't think it's a hardware thing, I think it has to be something to do with retropie.

Thanks for the feedback so far. For me I can say it also happens a lot. Maybe I'll try to setup RetroPie from scratch again..

The only thing I have noticed but it happens on two different builds?
Is when your on the home screen with the list of emulators when you press right a few times to scroll through the options after maybe 10secs it scrolls all the way back to the left, normally to the amiga emulator.
I thought it was my wiring, maybe a short but as it happens on two I'm thinking a software glitch?
