Hello
I have a 4 player arcade machine that I built and everything is programmed and fired up. I got green lights on both packs. Plugged them into my main machine and looked at them both with winpac. Everything is mapped correctly on the Ipac4. I can not get it to talk to the raspberry pi3. I am running retropi. I plugged in a regular keyboard and everything is working awesome. I can not get my buttons to communicate to through the ipac4 so I can map the buttons and play. The only thing that works is the Player one joystick. If I hold that up it will recognize my controls as a keyboard and it maps the up stroke at "key`". From what I read online - this is correct. I also have a button that sticks once in a while and that is the player one coin button which shows up as a #5 stroke. And that to is correct. I know what you are thinking... but all my buttons are wired correctly as they have four pins 2 for the switch and two for the LED. All the LED's are on and the grounds/commons are on the same side leaving the only one left at the switched wire and that is wired to the Ipac4.
I am at a loss. :angry: Everything I read is that the Ipac4 should just take off as a regular usb device. What am I missing. It screams driver issue, but my windows pc recognized it. Is there something special I have to do with the PI3??? :badmood:
Anyone out there that can help with this?- I am so close to having an awesome arcade machine. :banghead:
I have the same post on the main forum if you want to see pics. - please help!!!
