Pi5 - Tested my Controlblock
-
@petrockblog this is great, do I just need to reinstall the drivers as normal? Ie, can I just do the quick installation from the GitHub?
This was the last thing I needed to replace my Pi3 in my Arcade cabinet. Looking forward to trying it out this weekend.
-
@petrockblog I’ve already got the old drivers installed, how can I overwrite them?
-
@StuMcBill You can just run the quick install script again, it will overwrite the existing driver:
https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-installation
-
@petrockblog I tried that, it didn’t work, it said that the ControlBlock2 folder already existed?
-
@StuMcBill Ok, I ran the "uninstall.sh" script, and then ran the quick install script. It installed fine.
I then plugged my controlblock into my Pi5, but the power switch on my Arcade1Up did not work, although the controls worked and also powering the Pi5 via the USB-C port on the controlblock.
Any ideas? Power switch was enabled in controlblock.cfg.
I have connected my ControlBlock2 back onto my Pi3 and everything is working properly.
Any ideas?
Thanks

@StuMcBill Thanks for the feedback. I found an issue in the updated driver code that might have been the cause for your observation. I updated the driver accordingly. Can you try again?
With this setup I can switch between the RPis with this. -
@petrockblog hi mate. I’ll try again when I get a chance. It won’t be for a few days though.
I’ll report back. Do I need to change any settings on the pi itself with relation to its onboard power button?
-
@StuMcBill Hi, all right. Let me know how things are working for you then. You do not need to change anything. The updated driver setup should take care for everything.
-
@petrockblog Just managed to install this, everything seems to work as it should!
Thanks Petrockblog
-
@StuMcBill I am glad to hear that!
