Pi5 - Tested my Controlblock

StuMcBill

@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?

petrockblog

@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

StuMcBill

@petrockblog I tried that, it didn’t work, it said that the ControlBlock2 folder already existed?

StuMcBill

@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.

StuMcBill

@petrockblog Just managed to install this, everything seems to work as it should!

Thanks Petrockblog
