ControlBlock does not work

[Mikester]

Hi!
First of all. I'm really new with Raspberry Pi and ControlBlock. But I was able to install Retropie and connect the ControlBlock. This is now inside my SNES-Case.

But the funktionalities of the controlblock do not work.

• LED is connected. It blinks all the
• PowerSwitch is connected. The Pi starts, but it does not shutdown
• SNES-Ports are connected. But the Controllers are not recognized.

in front of the service. I tried "service controlblockservice start", but I got the message: "Failed to start controlblockservice.service: Access denied".

Is there anybody who can help or with an idea? Thanks!

Hi!

can you post the output of the console here, when you follow the installation instructions at https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2#downloading?

Seems as if the installation failed somehow ...

Thanks for your reply.

It works! I tried to uninstall everythink and followed the steps. This time I was succesful.

Thanks for your help

When you say that you "uninstalled everything" are you talking about uninstalling/reinstalling RetroPie and everything as well? Or just the ControlBlock stuff?

Mine was working fine, and then stopped and is behaving exactly as you describe. I tried removing all the ControlBlock stuff and reinstalling but the problem persists. The only thing I can think of is to do a clean install of the entire OS...I just really don't look forward to going through all of that again.
