How to change LightKey binding?

I have to highly recommend the LightKey. With its angled design it’s super comfortable to use. Now, there is an issue though: when I’m playing freeDoom the key LK2 / PgUp moves the player to the right, but it is on the left of the LightKey. LK4 is on the right but moves the player to the left.

The launcher now has now the possibility to change the ABXY buttons between Xbox and Nintendo-style, but there is no possibility to adjust the LightKey buttons.

Is there a way via a SSH connection?

You could change the keys in the arduino code and reflash the keypad

Yeah. But I do not have a cable with the corresponding connector to connect to ISP. Furthermore, it’s correct in the emulators (only tested with GBA so far). Guess it’s only freeDoom that is the other way round.

You don´t need one the keypad has a usb connector like a good ol’ arduino.

Say what? How did I miss that during assembly? Thanks for letting me know

Did you figure out how to fix Doom?

Anyone figure this out yet?

You can edit the ~/.chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom.cfg file to swap ASCII codes for those actions. Perhaps also, default.cfg.

Yeah you really should make changes to the chocolate-doom.cfg instead of changing the arduino code or you’ll mess up all of your retroarch stuff.

So, what do I change? I don’t see a key_strafe_left, key_strafe_right… I imagine it’s two of the joystick_physical_buttons, but I don’t know which ones

What do these correspond to?

joyb_strafeleft -1
joyb_straferight -1

I really like the lightkey, too. Gives extra menus when in MAME, too. Also, functions as a sort of stand to help me read the screen when I’m tinkering with SSH

What do these correspond to?

joyb_strafeleft -1
joyb_straferight -1

You’d assume which joystick button would act as strafing. But being set to -1 would mean it’s not set…

It could be joystick_strafe_invert, or joystick_physical_button#, or one of the key_s… I don’t know
