      @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:

          @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.
