Pi 3 Console Project Power Switch

Post by Mischief » Mon Jan 30, 2017 5:02 am

Been doing a lot of google searching and can't find a good solution for this, I want to have power on and safe shutdown on my Pi 3 via a momentary/tactile switch (so I don't have to unplug and plug in the console when I want to use it) has anyone come across a pcb or a guide that can do this?

Cheers
John
