Problems with Sense Hat Joystick

Help and Support Raspberry Pi
22

Thanks for your answers! :slight_smile:

I’ve collected lsmod’s from both system before and while running the same python script which depends on the joystick. (I think the before/after was not necessary)

Additionally I did dmesg on both devices.

And I included /boot/config.txt

You can find the paste here: https://pastebin.com/ZS8P9edb

One thing I noticed is this: [ 10.801822] Under-voltage detected! (0x00050005) on line 353, could be a thing to try out with a different psu.

Another thing I noticed is that on osmc lirc_rpi is also running - can I disable this to check if it’s interfering with the joystick?

I would recommend resolving PSU issues first.

I don’t think lirc_rpi would cause issues, but you can run sudo rmmod lirc_rpi to test.

24

PSU issues are resolved now.

I didn’t disable lirc_rpi because it’s in use.

Edit: Comparing the two lsmod's while the systems ran the python script, these are the differences:

OSMC is not running:
cmac
btbcm
serdev

And these modules are used by osmc more than in raspbian (should not be important)
evdev 1 more
iptables 3 more
x_tables 3 more
ipv6 30 more

25

I missed your recommendation about the ini file. How would I go about only installing that one file on osmc?

26

You should download the .deb package:

cd /tmp
apt-get download sense-hat

Then extract the files:

dpkg -X <file-name> sh

which will write all files from the package to (newly-created) directory /tmp/sh.
