So, I pulled the pin on the 5v line (I've got header leads in a little Molex block to help me), thus disabling the analog controls. All of the 16 typical buttons then worked just fine, but only 3 of the digital buttons worked (D1, D2, and D4). If I pull the analog headers, then D3 works.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what's going on. I'm reasonably certain that I've for everything wired properly, so now I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with the board itself.
Now, the analog controls aren't a total necessity, but I'd really like to be able to make them work - I'm open to any ideas that anyone may have.
