Right Shoulder Not working

[rhinom2]

Hi, I just finished putting together my circuit sword lite and my right shoulder button is not working. Is is not recognized at the moment of the mapping.

The Left shoulder, Left and Right triggers work good, is there anything I can do to fix the Right shoulder?

Thanks a lot for your help.

PS. I have the same problem with my Gem, the right shoulder doesn't work, it is not recognized at the moment of mapping.

Hi, for the Gem are you using the latest software version available? There was a known issue for that :) you can see on the gem wiki FAQ that there is a pinout diagram at the bottom, where you can re-work the shoulder button pin should the software update not fix it.

For the CSL, with the unit on and functioning, could you measure the voltage on the connector or button itself for when the button is not pressed and pressed? You can confirm it against another button, the expectation is that when 'not pressed' it should read 3.3v, and when pressed it should read 0v

Hi Kite, I fixed the Circuit Gem problem, I used the latest software and seams to be working fine.

For the CSL I flash a new SD card image and it fixed the R shoulder problem, but I got a new problem, the screen is becoming to white and almost hard to see, I will re-flash the image and see what happens.

Thanks for your help

Ok cool, in that case it it is likely one of the solder joins of an important signal. Let me know how you get on, and if no joy I can create a diagram on where to start looking

Thanks for the reply. Well, it sounds kinda weird, because when the R shoulder wasn't working the screen was just fine, when I re-flash the image the R shoulder started working but the screen started giving me trouble :) Anyway I'll let you know, the results of a new flashed image.

Thanks

Hi how are you? Flashing a new image didn't fix the screen problem, in fact the R1 stopped working again :( please help me with the diagram to star looking for the problem. Thanks

This picture is a view from the side with the LCD connector on (pictured). So if you orient the board so that you can see the LCD connector and then rework the pins:

For R1, could you do the voltage measurement thing that i mentioned earlier. Also, if you are in like terminal or something (e.g. plug in keyboard and press F4, or press start -> exit ES) and you press R1, does it print a character to the screen like the other buttons do?

Hi, I just had the chance to re-do the soldering and everything looks good, the soldered pins are perfect on both sides, but, I still have the problem with the screen it's becoming white as the system turns on. I will replace the screen to see if it is the problem, I have another kit that is working just fine.

Ok, let me know how that goes, if no improvement I'll replace your board

Hi, I'm really sorry, but, the screen is not the problem, I switched the screens and the other one just start up white. I don't know what to do from there :(

Send me an email to [email protected] and we’ll sort out returning it and I’ll repair :)
