Mausberry switch

Post by kylewismith » Fri Jul 29, 2016 2:05 pm

I purchased one to turn on and off a psone project. I I've downloaded the script following there instructions but it only switches my pi on was wondering if any one had had any dealings with them?

Mine was like a 2 second setup. Plug the switch to the right GPIOs and the micro usb cables, run 3 lines of code, done. Are you sure you followed the directions to a T? Which switch do you have?

Solder your own switch. Ist line of script downloaded something from mausberry the then the second was sudo bash setup.sh it after typing that nothing happens then sudo reboot. I if I type nanotechnology switch.sh I can see the script is so I'm guessing it is installed. The switch will turn it on so know the switch physically works

Oh ok i have the rocker switch that needs two micro usb cables. The one that plugs into the power port directly is definitely the best switch for my project anyway but i don't know what yours entails.

Usually when you install something small like that the command line doesn't produce a confirmation or progress bar or anything since it's so fast. Sounds like it installed just fine so i'm guessing maybe there's a short? Other than that not sure. I would try to contact them, though i tried that myself once and they never got back to me. :/ I don't think they have very good customer service at all tbh.

I'm building a pi station one seemed like the best way, wanted to use the original button and led. Had a spare sd so installed a retropie on it then set up the switch and it works fine. I must have messed something up on my other install
