      Hi,

      I have recently bought the ControlBlock and followed the setup guide: http://blog.petrockblock.com/2014/12/29/controlblock-power-switch-and-io-for-the-raspberry-pi/

      However when I power up my PI 3 it says “a stop job is running for lsb: controlblock service init script” and then shuts down…

      Any ideas??

        @gandarez My guess is that you don't have a power switch wired to the ControlBlock. If that's the case, you need to disable the power switch functionality. You can disable this in the configuration file /etc/controlblockconfig.cfg by setting “powerswitch”: false.

        If it's shutting down before you can edit that file, you can disconnect the PowerBlock, edit the file, and then reconnect it.
