"Something went wrong during writing"

I picked up an rPi3 and a controlblock, and I'm running the latest version of RetroPie (woo!)

However, I'm having issues with running the controlblock binary. :(

Here's my config file. I've got one SNES controller connected:

{
    "input" : {
            "gamepadtype" : "snes",
            "singlegamepad" : false
    },
    "powerswitch" : {
        "activated" : false
    }

}

Here's what I get when I run the binary in my tty:

[ControlBlock] Gamepadtype = SNES gamepads
[ControlBlock] Single gamepad mode ACTIVATED
[ControlBlock] Shutdown is DEACTIVATED

The last 4 lines repeat endlessly. The controller is unresponsive.

Compilation/installation went without a hitch. Could this be that I wired it poorly? The wires on these cheap chinese extension cords were very tiny...

Let me know if there's any more info I can provide. I'm very excited to get this working.

Thanks!

So it appears that if you don't enable the SPI interface and clone this repo for a controlblock 2.x, you're gonna have a bad time.

If you're like me (and very lost), you should find your installation instructions here

Sorry for the noise :(

Glad that you figured it out!
