Pixelcade error on retropie at startup

Hi, I'm getting a constant scrolling error on my screen in Retropie at startup with LEDpixelcade:

[D/1010Imp11 Physical disconnect.
[D/1010Imp11 Connection lost / aborted
[D/1010Imp11 Waiting for connection to PIXEL hardware 
[V/IOIOImp11 Waiting for underlying connection 
[V/1010Imp1) Waiting for handshake 
[E/1010Protocol) Protocol error
java. lo. IOException: Received unexpected connand: 6x41
at ioio. lib. impl. 1010ProtocoISIncoming Thread .run (1010Protocol - java :885)

While booting, this just scrolls non stop from top to bottom on the screen and keeps doing it until I reboot. The problem is that it kicks out another connected USB device, and causes it not to work. 

If I start a game, while it loads, I can see the error still scrolls.

The only fix I found is to reboot and then it doesn't happen anymore, but every time I do a shutdown (power off) and turn it back on, it does it.

Not with a reboot, though, no matter how many times I reboot.

 

Can you guys help?

Thanks!

had another guy with a similar issue, what is the other USB device?

make sure you have the latest pixelcade software here https://pixelcade.org/retropiev2/

and then what you might have to do also is add a flag to the pixelweb command line, specifically

pixelweb -d /dev/ttyACMX

where /dev/ttyACMX is your pixelcade, it may be for example /dev/ACM0

Hi, thanks for the prompt response!

I added an Adafruit rotary encoder as a volume knob for my arcade cabinet, check it out here.

How do I upgrade the pixelcade software?

And also, how do I add a flag?

 

Thanks!

follow the instructions here https://pixelcade.org/retropiev2/

that will get you the latest pixelcade software for RetroPie

then look for the pixelweb line in this file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

(make sure the older java based pixelweb line is commented out)

This is what I have in auto start...

#fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -g 1920 1080 1920 1080 16 
isdual=`tvservice -l |grep "2 attached device" |wc -l`
if [[ $isdual == "1" ]]; then
  /usr/bin/python /home/pi/PieMarquee2/PieMarquee2/PieMarquee2.py &
#nohup /usr/sbin/thd --triggers /etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d/ --user pi --deviceglob /dev/input/event* &
fi
#/home/pi/scripts/themerandom.sh
#cd /home/pi/pixelcade && java -jar pixelweb.jar -b &
sleep 10 && cd /home/pi/pixelcade/system && ./pixelcade-startup.sh
cd ~/pixelcade && ./pixelweb -image system/retropie.png -startup &
emulationstation --no-splash auto
#cd /home/pi/pixelcade && java -jar pixelweb.jar -b &
sleep 10 && cd /home/pi/pixelcade/system && ./pixelcade-startup.sh
#nohup /usr/sbin/thd --triggers /etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d/ --user pi --deviceglob /dev/input/event* &
cd ~/pixelcade && ./pixelweb -image system/retropie.png -startup &
emulationstation #auto

Also the upgrade changed the colors... They are off. 

I remember you fixed them by changing a parameter... Do you remember what it was?

here's what you want 

if you have the Pixelcade P2.5 size (DMD size) , then add this flag -swapbluegreen

I would try that first and if still conflicts, then add a 

-d /dev/ACMX where X is the number of your pixelcade

#fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -g 1920 1080 1920 1080 16 
isdual=`tvservice -l |grep "2 attached device" |wc -l`
if [[ $isdual == "1" ]]; then
  /usr/bin/python /home/pi/PieMarquee2/PieMarquee2/PieMarquee2.py &
#nohup /usr/sbin/thd --triggers /etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d/ --user pi --deviceglob /dev/input/event* &
fi
#/home/pi/scripts/themerandom.sh
cd ~/pixelcade && ./pixelweb -image system/retropie.png -startup &
emulationstation --no-splash auto
#nohup /usr/sbin/thd --triggers /etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d/ --user pi --deviceglob /dev/input/event* &
#emulationstation #auto

Sorry, can you tell me how to add this flag and where?

Also, the upgrade is failing at 57% of the extraction... Tried 3 times already with the same result.

use this command to find out what port Pixelcade is on . Unplug your other USB device before doing that

ls /dev/ttyACM*

@levis78 add those flags on the same line as pixelweb. If you're around tomorrow, I can help you live, that may be faster than back and forth here

@pixelcade-admin that would be great... In the meantime if you guide me, I might be able to get it fixed.

The port is /dev/ttyACM0

I still don't know how to change the color, there are 3 that are inverted.

try adding this to the pixelweb line

 

if that does not work, let's find a time tomorrow

 

cd ~/pixelcade && ./pixelweb -image system/retropie.png -swapbluegreen -d /dev/ttyACM0 -startup &

send also a pic of the pixelcade you have so I know the size and if that color change flag is needed, that flag is only needed if it's the Pixelcade P2.5 size
