[Pre-Order] Safe Shutdown Switch (PowerBoost Version) - Closed
Re: [Pre-Order] Safe Shutdown Switch (PowerBoost Version) - Closed
Camble, is there any reason why the board would stop working? I will try and reinstall the python script tomorrow but it's just cutting power when I turn off now.

@DarrylUK Impossible to say without seeing it. Check your /boot/config.txt has the dtoverlay line and your wiring is correct. Install the modified script I've linked at the start of the thread.

I reinstalled the script, then checked config.txt. Somehow the last 2 characters had been deleted from the line in config.txt! I must have accidently deleted them when editing the file one time. Works fine again. Cheers.Camble wrote:@DarrylUK Impossible to say without seeing it. Check your /boot/config.txt has the dtoverlay line and your wiring is correct.

@DarrylUK If using the right script it should shut down properly after playing the video.
@Ganreizu Good stuff!
