Pi5 - Tested my Controlblock

[StuMcBill]

@petrockblog I’ve already got the old drivers installed, how can I overwrite them?

@StuMcBill You can just run the quick install script again, it will overwrite the existing driver:

@petrockblog I tried that, it didn’t work, it said that the ControlBlock2 folder already existed?

[StuMcBill]

@StuMcBill Ok, I ran the "uninstall.sh" script, and then ran the quick install script. It installed fine.

I then plugged my controlblock into my Pi5, but the power switch on my Arcade1Up did not work, although the controls worked and also powering the Pi5 via the USB-C port on the controlblock.

Any ideas? Power switch was enabled in controlblock.cfg.

I have connected my ControlBlock2 back onto my Pi3 and everything is working properly.

Any ideas?

Thanks

@StuMcBill Thanks for the feedback. I found an issue in the updated driver code that might have been the cause for your observation. I updated the driver accordingly. Can you try again?
With this setup I can switch between the RPis with this.

@petrockblog hi mate. I’ll try again when I get a chance. It won’t be for a few days though.

I’ll report back. Do I need to change any settings on the pi itself with relation to its onboard power button?

@StuMcBill Hi, all right. Let me know how things are working for you then. You do not need to change anything. The updated driver setup should take care for everything.

@petrockblog Just managed to install this, everything seems to work as it should!

Thanks Petrockblog

@StuMcBill I am glad to hear that!
