All in One PCB Support Thread

I'm at a loss retropie doesn't recognise the board. I have reprogrammed it so I know it's not that and its connecting to my pc. I have 5v at the board and it wired directly to the power boost can't find any shorts does anyone have any ideas

Pictures of you wiring is helpful in know what could be wrong, right @PotaTox?

The reason I didn't share pictures is because I thought that I couldn't get a photo good enough to reveal anything.

Are you also powering the Pi with the powerboost? I figured out tonight after a bit of frustration and trial and error that the board and Pi need power originating at the same source. I had the Pi plugged into a wall charger and the board hooked up to the powerboost and it wouldn't see it. I could only get it recognized by powering it from the Pi itself or powering the Pi from the powerboost as well.

When you talk about random button presses that's just as it sits still correct? I'm having a different sort of issue where inputs are being either skipped or are lingering and being seen as held down. Start/select inputs are also taking quite a bit of pressure. I've tried this with several sets of rubber and both with it screwed into the case and with it sitting free. I'm going to do some more testing tomorrow and hopefully I can get it straightened out. Anyone else run across this?

Everything in the build has to be tied together so all GND and 5V have to come from the same source, like the powerboost or something similar.

Try the new code I posted in the programming threads in the Other Hardware section.

The new code feels nicer. A lot less "double" presses. Thanks a lot.
It's been a problem I've noticed in other retropie projects I've done. Especially axis inputs tend to hold onto presses, so it'll skip one or more emulators or games in the main gui. All inputs seem to do it once in awhile, but axis seems to be the most problematic.

Thanks for all your work on this board.

Hello guys. Please forgive me because I'm a noob in wiring and stuff.
My display should arrive soon, so I will test it as Fleder did. When my AIO board arrive, can I test it (+ the display) this way? https://www.dropbox.com/s/04g6sz2boajx1 ... o.png?dl=0

Thank you!

Thank you!

That is the proper way to wire it but be sure to add PWM support to the config.txt.

There's a guide on it in the Software Guide Section.

I'm away at the minute will post when back

I have tried with everything wired to a power strip from the pb and directly to the pb
