GamepadBlock causing shutdown when connected.
-
Hoping someone can help me out. I’m so close to finishing this thing but this last issue I just can’t figure out. I am using an old broken PCB from a genesis. Power button, LED and reset all work fine. My problem is that I also wired up the original controller ports so I can use them with original genesis game pads. I’m using a game pad lock and tested the controllers on a pc using this setup. All was fine. My issue is that my pi won’t power up if the game pad block is connected to it. If I keep it unplugged and power up the pi, power cuts out as soon as I connect the USB. I must be shorting it out somehow but I can’t figure it out. This is my first project and I basically started with zero knowledge. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@heed Are you using the ControlBlock or PowerBlock from https://blog.petrockblock.com/shop/ ?

Does the GanepadBlock work with your PC?
If not, it would seem to be an hardware issue with the GamepadBlock.Also, can you post an image of your hardware setup here?
