Missing an uninstall option about gpionext HOT 7 CLOSED

I am unsure what you mean by "manually set the mapping or have it auto detect." Are you talking in regards to retropie configuration?

from gpionext.

I have switches (joystick and buttons) tied to GPIOs; I'm talking about setting the correspondence between my switches and the GPIOs. In Adafruit-Retrogame you configure the explicitly (originally by changing the source). GPIOnext claims it "auto-configures". It's unclear how that work or when it's done. I couldn't get anything, not even in the debug log. It could be that it's related to being a Raspberry Pi 4, but I didn't see anything in the documentation about how events would show up or how exactly the auto-configuration would work.

EDIT: completeness sake, my switches short to ground. This exact configuration previously worked on a defunct Raspberry Pi 2 with retrogame.

Did you run the config utility after installation?
gpionext config

It's run automatically and I also ran it manually many times. I picked the first joystick option (this is for an arcade) and checked the first 13 consecutive boxes. However at this point, the only option appears to go back to the previous menu and then go out. Am I missing something? At no point did anything I did on my switches make any difference nor did I have an opportunity to specify the switch - gpio mapping.

You probably missed it after scrolling down to make your button selections, but at the top it says to press 'enter' to continue. That should bring you to a screen that looks like this:

it will run through 4 directions for each Dpad/joystick selected, plus 1 for each button.

Well, that's embarrassing and thank you for your patience with me throughout this. It works perfectly. (Can you really set up 4 joypads with 4 joysticks each?)

I guess I won't be needing the uninstall option now :)

it's no problem. that's what I'm here for.

so yes, in theory you could. but I think that in practice you would run out of gpio pins!

I originally thought about doing an uninstall option, but then I lost interest. ha!
