c button acting as b button

[steezeburger]

Both the b & c buttons do the same thing. I can't open an app in the third column, and I verified that the c button checks a box in the check list app, just like the b button.

It was like this out of the box as well as after I flashed the latest firmware (pimoroni-badger2040-v0.0.4-micropython-with-badger-os.uf2)

I wonder if this is a bug in the firmware or a hardware defect.

It doesn't look like the code checking for BUTTON_C press has changed in some time. Are these buttons wired in a matrix and there is a short somewhere so it thinks B is being pressed instead?

Hi,
It sounds like there could be a short between the SWB and SWC signals.
On both Badger 2040 and 2040W, these signals go to adjacent pins on the RP2040 Pico chip.
An extract of the Badger 2040 schematic is shown below.

Determined to be a hardware issue.

It's mostly still functional, and I can change the software a bit to still get a lot of use from this board.

Pimoroni support was awesome though and sent me a new fully working badger. Now I can implement my grand vision that uses all the buttons ;)

Closing issue.
