Problem with the buttons.

Post by jlbp87 » Wed Nov 21, 2018 8:02 am

Hello partners.
I'm having problems with the buttons on my Circuit Sword.
I do not know why, but my buttons do something like a double click every now and then. This happens to me a lot in the menu, when I want to enter into an emulator, I automatically run the first one on the list. It's like pressing the A button incredibly fast.
When I set the controls in Retropie, I press a button and then in the next I get the message "This button in already takken".
Playing also happens to me, for example, in Mario Land for GameBoy, I just touch the button and it makes me a very small jump of the character, so it is unplayable in my case.
I have always thought that the problem was either of the rubber bands or of the buttons. I have tried at least 3 different sellers and the problem persists. I have tried even not to tighten the screws of the Circuit Sword board very much, but even then the problems are not solved.
It seemed to me to read in a post that is even working on a solution via software for the double press of buttons. I think that could be my problem, but I'm not sure.
Also clean contacts with alcohol ... which I have not tried, but I do not think there is a problem with that, since the tires are new and the board has not been exposed to dirt.
I hope that if someone has or has had this problem and has found a solution, you can help me on this matter.
Thank you very much, greetings.

PS: I used the Google translator, so I hope you could understand the problem :)

Do the alcohol or acetone thing, when the boards are made they are covered in flux and various other stuff that's clear so it's not 'dirt' or from use that it happens, but because of the manufacturing process. See how that works out for you :)

Thank you very much Kite. You were right. Failing to try it more calmly, it seems that now the buttons respond perfectly.
Great support, you're a crack. :)
I hope that in the future you can enable Bluetooth, even if it is not clear to me if it would be necessary to "add" something on the board or if it could be activated via software. Being able to play with Bluetooth headphones would be fantastic.

Cheers and thank you again!
