Controlblock Power Cycles
-
I have a pie 4 and trying to get a controlblock 2.1. It doesn't work with a momentary switch and when I hook up a toggle the pie never powers on. The red and green lights just cycle. I am using a 5v 5a power brick with a micro usb cord. I bought the CB second hand. Is the CB broken or am I doing something incorrectly?

@aside Hi, a CB rev 2.1 could be incompatible with the RPi 5. Your observations sounds like it. If you are willing to tinker a bit, there is a way to make those older versions of the CB compatible: https://www.petrockblock.com/compatibility-information/.

@petrockblog Thank you. I've put in an order for a new CB since the newer version will come with a USBC. It looks like incompatibility is the issue. If you have the time I am willing to do some work on my end to see if I can get it going. In the end I will be using the newer CB when it comes in.
Thank you for your time.
