[SOLVED] Camble's Safedown AND Retrogame

Post by Crick » Tue Jan 14, 2020 11:53 pm

Is anyone successfully running:
Retropie >4.3 &
Retrogame &
Cambles safe shutdown?

I'm running direct GPIO button input and I can have either Retrogame OR safe shutdown working but not both.

I scoured here, there and everywhere and tried adjusting the scripts a bit but I'm all out of luck and skill. I'm on my 4th fresh image and almost out of energy.

Next stop is GPIOnext but I'm not holding my breath.

Thanks guys, love the forum, been lurking a while.

I have gotten them working together. I’ve never had any luck with gpionext. What problems are hitting?

The instructions in this thread are helpful if it’s camble’s script you are having issues with

viewtopic.php?f=44&t=6611&p=70894


Usually, if one works but the other doesn’t it’s because of a gpio conflict where both scripts are trying to register the same pin.

Thanks, I've checked that in cambles script and Retrogame,cfg and couldn't see a conflict.
I do get kernel panic on shutdown and I tried a fresh flash with gpionext last night and ended up with the same outcome, this time gpionext failed after I installed safe shutdown on a few lines and ends on edge error same as here: https://github.com/mholgatem/GPIOnext/issues/12

I also suspect a assignment conflict or a wrongly assign pull down/up but I just can't see it.

well, the "kernel panic" happens when the signal doesn't get sent from the pi to the board to cut the power, so check the one you have at the keep-alive setting (22 by default) and that it's getting set correctly in the config.txt, and also that it's not in there more than once.

i think that "edge" errors are usually because it's trying to check a gpio that's already in use.

triple check the wiring, and that you are using BCM: https://pinout.xyz/

Yep definitely only BCM 22 assigned once & yep it's in config.txt Thanks for replying, I know how it is guiding newbs coming from years in FPV.

At this stage i'm thinking of bailing on the safe shutdown and only using on side of the switch to power up and walking away from it until I get a teensy.

It's honestly driving me crazy mostly because i'm sure it's a problem i'm creating but I can't think how to simplify it any further.
I'm literally only running pi zeio w, powerboost 1000, safe shutdown v1.2 with PB script and a screen & battery. It doesn't get much simpler and all my solders are clean and reacting perfectly.

Like any good problem this will be something simple waiting for my knowledge to catch up.

In case it triggers any issues here is my button GPIO assignment:

LEFT 21 # Joypad left
RIGHT 13 # Joypad right
UP 4 # Joypad up
DOWN 25 # Joypad down
LEFTCTRL 12 # 'A' button
LEFTALT 23 # 'B' button
Z 19 # 'X' button
X 26 # 'Y' button
SPACE 20 # 'Select' button
ENTER 16 # 'Start' button

Can you paste what you have in your config.txt? Also make sure the script is running.

Which script? The safeshut down appears to prevent GPIOnext from running and I end up with the errors a few posts up when I run gpionext start

config.txt:

# For more options and information see

# Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

sorry I meant GPIOnext config:

Also I can see safe shutdown running in ps aux but not gpionext.

gpionext start results in nothing in command although I can see the error appear in ps as:
