For some reason that wasn't clickable for me but the URL showed up when I tried to quote you here, then I copied the link but i get an error and nothing shows.Popcorn wrote:Wait a sec! Why didn't I think of this before? I think I might have found a way to have the pololu shut off the Powerboost. I wont be able to test until after the weekend. Can someone try this and report back? You need the pololu mini slide switch.
Connect everything up like the guide but also add two wires. EN and GND on the Powerboost continue to go to a latching switch still (we still need an emergency reset) BUT, they also map to the center OFF and GND that are pinned out as part of the onboard switch in the middle of the board. Looking at the schematic, they close when off, which is what we need to shut off the Powerboost. Someone let us know if this works? Or I'll let you know by Tuesday. I'm out of town til then.
edit: working now
