So by doing this, all I'll get use of is the battery monitor? That's the goal here as I have the pro micro for my buttons and jot sticks.Helder wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 3:30 amIf you have the pro micro set up as a controller the commands and buttons will not work. Bluup is working on a usb controller version to read buttons. If you mainly need the battery monitor I suggest you comment out the monitor file in the rc.local file then use the instructions here:

Yes it will add the battery monitoring only.

Re: [SALE] Retro PSU, a 3.5A Output capable Boost Board
Thanks! also working here. But is it possible to leave the softshutdown button by the GPIO 9 pin running?

I'm not understanding your question, the shutdown GPIO can be anything you want as long as it's not in use in something else.lightpixel wrote: ↑Sat Nov 03, 2018 1:11 pmThanks! also working here. But is it possible to leave the softshutdown button by the GPIO 9 pin running?

Re: [SALE] Retro PSU, a 3.5A Output capable Boost Board
Ok, Sorry! I try redefine my question:
".....Also included in this script is an on demand shutdown button script. If desired, a simple tact switch can be installed to GPIO 7. The script will monitor that GPIO in the background and invoke a safe shutdown when pressed...." (Mintybatterymonitor)
I´ve installed this script as you mentioned before, because my controller is arduino usb based...
But the shutdown isn´t working...
best regards
chris

It is designed to be used with gpio controls not arduino or similar so it will not work

Re: [SALE] Retro PSU, a 3.5A Output capable Boost Board
The mintyPi battery monitor scripts can be used with the RETRO PSU but you need to be sure the other script is installed as well for the shutdown. Check out HoolyHoo's Github for the whole package and be sure it's GPIO 7 and not physical pin 7 you're using.
