Wow, that was simple! I was trying to use some scripts that I found elsewhere for this power button but they didn't work (error messages), this worked great and it was fast and easy!
-
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!ð

Im I am running Batocera for my arcade cabinet on my SD card, do I remove the SD card before proceeding?

Very useful video! Thank you very much!

Thanks! Now I can use 1 button to turn on and off raspberry instead of 2!

Bruce Dickinson is teaching us electronics. Great video
-
Worked perfectly, thanks!

Excellent, thanks. Another question re sound: I got the small screen with a 4pin connector plugged into the back to get sound, which worked okay. However the screen was too small and I got myself a HDMI switch where I can share a larger screen between Windows 11 and the Raspberry Pi 4B. The problem is: no sound because I disconnected the small screen. Is there a way where I can plug the 4Pin connector into the Pi's GPIO?

Hi! Its possible to use a button of type switch (two state, not holding/push button) ? Its convinient and safe? Great video too.

I have followed the steps but when I press the button, Kodi shows the shutdown menu . Is there any command to force shutdown directly?
-
Do you need to do the software if you have Android installed on the Raspberry Pi?
-
Hi. is there anyway to do this on Dietpi with Amiberry??
-
I take this back. This does no more or less than the python code projects offered. It still keeps my fan powered on. It doesn't start up if I hit the button again. If I need to power off I still have to unplug the usb power supply manually.
-
this worked great !
-

On the 64 bit version you need to press the button twice unlike on the 32 bit version of pios. How can I fix that?
