      Hi,

      i'm trying to connect the controlblock (rev 2.1) to the Raspberry Pi 3 with dupont cables connecting Pins 1,2,11,12,19,21,23,24 of the Controlblock to the same pins of the Raspberry Pi 3 , but it doesn't works for me, (controlblock works fine connecting it directly above of the Raspberry Pi, so i'm sure that i'm missing some connection). At Petrockblog you can read:

      GPIO pins used by the ControlBlock
      The ControlBlock revision 2.X uses these GPIO pins of the 40-pin header of the Raspberry Pi: 3.3V (pin 1), 5V (pin 2), GPIO 17 (pin 11), GPIO 18 (pin 12), MOSI (pin 19), MISO (pin 21), SCLK (pin 23), CE0 (pin 24).

      So that are the pins i'm connecting.

      Maybe more pins must be connected in order to make it work??

      Than you.

        What exactly does not work? The power switch function or the game controller function or both?
