Keypad not working

GameShell
1

Hi guys , im coming here after a while and tried everything possible .

Basically : my gameshell is working perfectly , ( os booting , screen working , … )

BUT the keypad is not working , tried to invert the cable , unplug / plug many times , tried to remove the battery , boot it without the keypad ( btw there is 2 led lighting on the keypad board )

Thanks to @Godzil who told me to plug it on my pc , is being detected on my pc .

So if @yong @hal have any solution for me , it would be great .

UPDATE : Tried this tutorial [Tutorial] How to compile and upload code to the keypad , it worked but the keypad still not working

UPDATE 2 : After some help from @Petrakis, we tried with debug 1 , the keypad IS working but seem like its the port from the motherboard !

Best regards , Lenux :wink:

@hal / @yong After some debugging using the modifications to the code I made https://github.com/Mihaylov93/Keypad/blob/master/clockworkpi_keypad.ino

We tested that the keypad board works, the problem one of the following:

  • Cables not fully inserted.
  • Cable connector broken/defective.
  • Board connector broken/defective.

We got your email, I’m sorry for this problem, we could send you a replacement cable, with connectors on both ends?
Is that OK?

im really scared about this , but if it does work why not

But how are the board connectors?

Not working at all for the keypad

EDIT : !!!After some retry it work i will get back soon if its not working everytime .

That is weird, I mean one not working I can understand, replacement not working too, you may have a bigger problem.

What did they send you as a replacement? the keypad or the mainboard?

Have they sent you a set of wires too?

After edit up it worked i just had to turn off / on again my gameshell @Godzil
