Random Directional Inputs (possibly Joystick)
Posted: Tue 2 Jun 2020 23:42
Hello everyone,
First time poster, was hoping it wasn't going to be so soon after receiving my Retrostone2 in the mail, but here I am.
Everything looked good when I first unpacked it. I plugged in the RS2 to charge up for a couple of hours. In the meantime, I followed the tutorial for getting the SD card ready, according to http://www.8bcraft.com/retrostone2-tutorial.
After putting in the SD in and powering the RS2 on, everything was getting prepped over a few minutes and eventually Retrorangepi booted up. I was then prompted to map the controls for the RS2 with the control that was detected. This is where the issue began.
The RS2 was registering intermittent inputs from "Axis 1+" or "Axis 1-" at a rapid rate. Whenever I tried to map each button starting, the RS2 would try to map one of those inputs to each entry, often coming up with message "Already mapped" when it tried to map to each key.
All the other buttons seem to register properly, except for the joystick (which seems to be where the "Axis 1+/Axis 1-" are coming from).
At first, I thought this issue was unique to retroarngepi as a software issue, so I tried formatting, deleting partitions, and starting the installation from scratch. But the same issue happened again.
The issue seems to also persist when I go into other functions and applications on the RS2 (desktop mode, various configurations such as bluetooth and wifi, etc). The selection in each mode will move around erratically as if I'm using the joystick when I'm not inputting anything.
I looked through the troubleshooting and support forums, but I couldn't find any similar issues. Could I please get some help? Can I give any other information that would be helpful in troubleshooting this problem?
Thank you everyone in advance!
