Joystick Issues
I am having issues with my two PSP joysticks in my Circuit Sword Build. When configuring, they show as configured but Joystick 2 will move automatically when configuring inputs, automatically selecting it as a button and Joystick 1 can not be configured at all when configuring inputs.
Here is my wiring:
Here is the output from cs-configure:
At this point I have changed out the joysticks with others I had and have re-soldered a few times. I also reprogrammed the Arduino controller. Any thing I'm missing?

Re: Joystick Issues
I have had similar issue where joy 2 move by itself even if not connected, reflash did not help. Kite was not able to help me, only solution was to disable the second joy and live without it. Seems to be a hardware issue.Jaycristo wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 12:20 pmI am having issues with my two PSP joysticks in my Circuit Sword Build.

Re: Joystick Issues
I hope it can be worked out. I read your post and I had a similar experience with some negative values too when I kept refreshing.banjokazooie wrote: ↑Sat Nov 23, 2019 2:44 pm

Re: Joystick Issues
Does the same happen if you plug joy1 into joy2, and joy2 into joy1?

Re: Joystick Issues
I had a similar problem, twice. First time the pins were partially shorting on the joystick. So check that with a multimeter. And the second time it was a broken joystick. Also friend of mine had a problem with the back of the psp joystick shorting pins on the board so kapton tape!
Get back in the kitchen and make me some Pi!
Re: Joystick Issues
If I put joy2 into joy1, I still can't configure joy1 to the right stick. It shows as enabled. I tried to test with a multimeter but I never used it before so I am not sure I did it right. I tested by putting the needles on each side of the solder on the pad and it beeps.
I did move joy1 to joy2, and that one works fine and am able to configure in Emulation Station. I believe that any movement I was seeing previously was due to space in the case and the sticks not being able to move back to center.
Re: Joystick Issues
I tried testing with a multimeter, not sure if I know what I'm doing as it was my first go at it. When I put needles on each side of the pad, it beeps. I had used kapton tape on the joysticks and on some of the pins by the headphone jack.skankhunt42 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 6:38 amI had a similar problem, twice.

Re: Joystick Issues
Put the needles on each pair of pads in turn. If you have it in continuity mode (usually signified by the diode symbol) and it beeps they are connected and there is a short circuit. Probably where you have soldered the pads as they are very close together. So clean excess solder off the pads in question and re-solder the wire and retest with the multimeter. But test each combination in turn first to find which, if any, are short circuiting.Jaycristo wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 12:29 pmI tried testing with a multimeter, not sure if I know what I'm doing as it was my first go at it.

Re: Joystick Issues
I will definitely clean up some of the soldering but I think something else might be going on with my joy1. I moved the stick that used to be in joy1 to joy2 and it works fine in joy2 yet any joystick I put into joy1 while being recognized in cs-configure, can’t be recognized in Emulation Station when trying to configure inputs.skankhunt42 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 2:39 pm

Re: Joystick Issues
Could I get an in focus and with a bright light picture of the board around the joy1 connector area? Ideally so that the picture contains the ATMEGA chip (big square one) and the joy1 connector (the big white connector)
