Hello!
I received my Pirate Radio yesterday. I have soldered the pins in the rpi zero w and the pins in the phatbeat. So I have powered on the Pirate radio, even created my own customized playlist and everything worked as charm except the fast forward button.
So in order to tackle this issue i have dissembled it once again and tried to re-solder the BCM 5 ( Physical Pin 29 or Wiring Pi pin 21). Unfortunately the fast forward button still doesn’t work.
As an effort to further investigate on the problem, I have installed the piggpio tool in order to perform further diagnostics and the following (truncated) table has be retrieved from the “gpio readall” command.
It shows that the Pin GPIO.21 even though is IN has 0 Voltage.±----±----±--------±-----±–±Pi ZeroW-±–±-----±--------±----±----+
| BCM | wPi | Name | Mode | V | Physical | V | Mode | Name | wPi | BCM |
±----±----±--------±-----±–±—+±—±–±-----±--------±----±----+
| 5 | 21 | GPIO.21 | IN | 0 | 29 || 30 | | | 0v | | |
| 6 | 22 | GPIO.22 | IN | 1 | 31 || 32 | 1 | IN | GPIO.26 | 26 | 12 |
| 13 | 23 | GPIO.23 | IN | 1 | 33 || 34 | | | 0v | | |
| 9 | 24 | GPIO.24 | ALT0 | 0 | 35 || 36 | 1 | IN | GPIO.27 | 27 | 16 |
| 26 | 25 | GPIO.25 | IN | 1 | 37 | 38 | 0 | ALT0 | GPIO.28 | 28 | 20 |
±----±----±--------±-----±–±—+±—±–±-----±--------±----±----+
| BCM | wPi | Name | Mode | V | Physical | V | Mode | Name | wPi | BCM |
±----±----±--------±-----±–±Pi ZeroW-±–±-----±--------±----±----+Apart from that I have also checked with the short-circuit setting of a multimeter shortage between the Ground and the Pin GPIO.21. And guess what it is shorted to ground. However I believe I didn’t do anything wrong during the soldering and this behavior was present from the beginning.
I would appreciate any help since now i am changing stations only via the VLC Media Player web interface http://IP_Address:8080/ .
Thank you!
