Arduino-based Spinner not Working on MiSTer #807

I bought an Arduino-based spinner from AliExpress ( https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Den7Cox ) and MiSTer only recognizes its four buttons, but not the wheel. The controller test core also detects nothing from the wheel.

I tried putting its VID/PID in the mister.ini file like this:

spinner_vid=0x2341
spinner_pid=0x8037
spinner_throttle=100

But it didn't help.

On Windows, the wheel works as the mouse's x-axis, while the buttons register as joystick buttons.

There is no support of such kind spinner. If it implements mouse for wheel, then it should use buttons as a mouse buttons.
If it's arduino based, then probably it can be re-flashed with spinner sketch supported by MiSTer (need to tweak for pins used in your device).
You can check the code here:

I learned how to flash the Arduino code. I did that using this code:
https://github.com/willoucom/Arduino_ArcadeSpinner

I updated the button pins according to what I found on my device.

And MiSTer still refuses to use its spin. In Windows, it works just fine in all four modes. But MiSTer only sees the buttons no matter which modes I run.

What VID/PID of your board? MiSTer expects Arduino Micro, though new vid/pid can be added

Make sure uniq (or name) field has string MiSTer-S1. This is important for MiSTer to recognize your device as a spinner.
I see in your code you change it depending on button, but it actually gets read only at connection of device or booting the MiSTer.
Spinner in MiSTer works as an overlay input device, so you still need a joystick for directional control. Spinner doesn't need buttons assignment. It supposed to have only one button and knob.

Main_MiSTer/input.cpp

Line 4613 in 4236d70

if (strstr(uniq, "MiSTer-S1")) input[n].quirk = QUIRK_PDSP;

When I use the spinner mode MiSTer recognizes it as a spinner. I see the "P1 Spinner" message in the OSD when I press the spinner button. However, moving the wheel doesn't register in the input test core or in the games.

I know that the wheel is working because I can move the "Dial" in the Windows joystick test.

You can connect USB console to MiSTer and check debug messages. When you use Menu core, it gives many messages from input devices. There you may see how your spinner getting recognized and what messages it generates. It may help to understand the problem.
By the way, if it generates paddle signals, then cores requiring spinner won't react on it.

This is the output I get when I connect the spinner in MiSTer Spinner mode, press the buttons, and turn the wheel. The wheel doesn't generate any output:

According to logs you didn't try to turn the wheel to check what events are generated

But I did. I guess that's the issue. MiSTer doesn't see the wheel movements. But Windows does.

If there is no debug info about wheel move, then linux driver doesn't supply them.

Sonik helped me too understand the pins code and I flashed it with your code: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Retro-Controllers-USB-MiSTer/tree/master/PaddleTwoControllersUSB

I still only get the button working on mister and the wheel is ignored. On Windows the wheel work just fine, moving both the axis.
