Hi,

 

I'm currently working on a button box project. Everything works perfectly, and simhub is so awesome! 

However, I noticed that Inputs A7 and A6 on my Arduino nano, aren't working. I'm using them as columns and rows of a button matrix. It works on every other pin. I've also tried to use them as a simple button or for Potentiometers, none of it works.

Tried with several arduino nano

 

Am I missing something? Simhub lets you use A7 and A6 when you're designing the application so I'm not sure why that is happening

 

Let me know if you need more information and thanks a lot in advance!

Hi ! Indeed there is a physical limitation for these pins see : https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/Arduino---Button-matrix
The setup tool is only a sketch configuration tool, unfortunately there are many combinations and possibilities, it's almost impossible to block all the "non viable" physical configurations, that's why it does not do it.

Thank you very much for your answer. In this case, I'll have to use 2 arduinos, but thats fine. Also did know the issue about Toggle switches.

 

Thanks again

Love all the work you've done, such a great tool, fantastic! When you say there is a physical limitation, do you mean on the pro micro or Simhub? I understand what you're saying about SimHub being a configuration tool, because I have been able to use those pinouts to control encoders. I did so directly through code, so I wanted to clarify.

 

Thank you again!
