button common ground on ESP32 shuts MCU off

[Duhjoker]

Hi guys

I'm working on a game console thing but I'm having trouble connecting a button ground to the ESP32. I have all the buttons wired to the console but this is tripping me out. I'm running a graphics test so I don't actually have the buttons coded yet but it shouldn't do that should it?

The button pad is made up of 10 tactile switch buttons with a common ground connecting each one and a wire going to an empty pin on each button.

Connect the ground first, connect one button wire at a time. When does it reset and what gpio pin?

Ok now I'm puzzled!!!

Just got back around to my thing and dis as instructed and it seems fine. I can even turn it on and off and jiggle it.

Could it be that I used a pin I'm not supposed to?


While we are talking about buttons......

I would like to play around with the NES emu but I see it uses a PlayStation controller. I don't know why but any way how can I include my own button files. Gonna look at it closer but I'm hoping it won't be too hard.
