AUX button stopped working out of a sudden

Hey guys,

Even though I don’t think the problem lies within the Proffieboard itself, I decided to post here in the search for any possible help.

I have a 2-button setup Proffie, and all of a sudden my AUX button just stopped working. The main power button works just fine. I excluded any software problems, since it failed long after any software update I made to my board, but still reuploaded firmware. No help from that.

I unscrewed the button setup, and here’s the PCB that’s responsible for the buttons:


The button on the right side of the photo is the faulty AUX button. I managed to measure the voltage between the sides of each button. The working main button has around 3V, while the faulty AUX has around 1.4V. Unfortunately I cannot find the electrical diagram for this PCB to confirm whether that makes sense or not, I’m just hoping it’s a standard one for such builds and any of you had previous experience with it.

Thanks in advance for any help that will help me find the root of the problem!

A simple continuity test on the button is probably a good start. If it doesn’t beep when you press it, button’s bad.
Also, you can plug it into Arduino and see what Serial Monitor says.

I looks like both buttons behave the same during the continuity test, they seem to be normally closed switches if I’m not mistaken (been a long time since my engineering university :smiley: ). Unfortunately clicking the AUX button doesn’t seem to be recognized by the Serial Monitor :frowning:

Some more troubleshooting steps:

With buttons not-pressed the voltage between GND and SIGNAL(white) on this button PCB is ~1.3V, but when clicking the AUX button it drops to 0V. Not sure if that’s desired behaviour.

This is the problem. They are both supposed to have 3.3 volts across.
The question is what is causing it. It could be a short somewhere, a faulty button, or a problem with the board itself.

I think the only way to figure out where the problem is is to disconnect things from each other and then see if the disconnected pieces behave as expected or not.

If the problem is with the board, you can just use the AUX2 pad instead and then re-program the board to match. (Assuming of course that you’re not already using AUX2 for something.)

That’s what I was afraid of :frowning:

Seems like TXQSaber isn’t really reliable then. Tons of problems with the lightsaber. I think I’m gonna have to switch to one button setup, I don’t really feel capable of disconnecting the whole thing and reassembling it.

Hey @proffezorn
Just one more quick question, it should be possible to just use any 1 button config just by switching NUM_BUTTONS to 1, is that correct? I cannot find a replacement buttons board anywhere and I feel like this would be the simplest solution for now, but for some reason when I do it, board stops reacting to any buttons :frowning:

Depends on:

  1. how your buttons are configured (Having just an AUX button won’t work very well.)
  2. what prop file you’re using

Some prop files just aren’t set up for 1-button operation.

I suggest posting your config file so we can have a look.

Ok, so here’s my config file:

And I tried using those prop files:

Both of these props should work well with 1-button controls.
What version of ProffieOS are you using?

I tried both 5.9 and current on master branch. Both failed. Weird thing is that when I set NUM_BUTTONS to 2, main button seems to work well, only AUX doesn’t work as it’s damaged. But when changing to NUM_BUTTONS 1, even the main button stops working at all.

Maybe you think your Aux button is power? and the power is what’s broken?
See what happens if you swap your buttons in the config, like this:

Button PowerButton(BUTTON_POWER, auxPin, “pow”);
Button AuxButton(BUTTON_AUX, powerButtonPin, “aux”);

Nothing’s changed, and I’m pretty sure that power is the one that was working properly, and still works like expected if NUM_BUTTONS 1

Ok, I’m confused now… These two statements seem to contradict each other:

I think he means NUM_BUTTONS 2 and typoed.
Power button works as expected when NUM_BUTTONS 2
but does nothing if NUM_BUTTONS 1.

You’re right @NoSloppy I must’ve mistyped. Power button works as expected when num buttons is set to 2, but whenever I try to switch to 1 button config, it stops reacting at all.

And you’ve read the top comments section in the prop file you’re using so you know what buttons do what?

So both of these prop files support 1-button mode in ProffieOS 6, but I think only the sa22c one did in 5.9. Which version of proffieOS did you use?

@NoSloppy Yup, and I tried doing everything with this button. @profezzorn I tried all combinations, both button configs on both versions of OS

If Power button works when you set NUM_BUTTONS to two, hook up to Serial Monitor and see what the OS thinks that button is called when you press it.

EVENT: Power-Pressed#1 ON millis=46873972
EVENT: Power-Pressed ON millis=46873972
EVENT: Power-Released#1 ON millis=46874130

that’s what the serial monitor shows after pressing power button on 2 button setup (saber lights up etc)
