@petrockblog said in Ok, got my ControlBlock.....some questions?:
Would this be the correct procedure to get the PI & ControlBlock setup?
Flash RetroPie to Micro SD Card.
Boot up RetroPie & update via retropie-setup.sh (in RetroPie menu).
Reboot Pi.
Run ControlBlock Quick Installation Script.
Shutdown Pi and disconnect power.
Connect ControlBlock to GPIO Pins on Pi.
Connect Micro USB to ControlBlock and Power on.
If you are using a power switch make sure to connect it to the ControlBlock.
If you are not using a power switch make sure to connect it to the Raspberry Pi. Otherwise you cannot switch on the Raspberry.
In any case you can attach the ControlBlock to the RPi before installing the ControlBlock driver.
Ok, that makes sense now.
If I've got a controlblock, and no power switch, I should disable power switch functionality and power via the pi.
If I do have a power switch, I should connect it and power via the controlblock.
