CHeers Alastair hi Alastair, If you have bought the ATXRASPI I would use that. It will save you having to work out what to do, just follow their instructions. A safe shutdown is still a nice way of stopping the CPU/GPU. There will still be power to the Raspberry Pi PCB though. You will need to remove then reapply power to get the Raspberry Pi going again. Alternately, most Raspberry Pi's have a place to add a reset header. If you wire this up with a momentary push button, it will restart the Raspberry Pi. If you press the reset button while the Raspberry Pi is going it will stop immediately, no operating system shutdown. Place the ATXRASPI shutdown script in the /opt or /home/tc directories and press backup on the Main page. Both these directories get backed up and then restored during a reboot. The push buttons you have bought are on/off switches, so they can go on the +ve wire between the PSU and Raspberry Pi. So when you press the button it will remove power from the Raspberry Pi PCB and stop everything without a safe shutdown. Pressing the button again, will apply power to the Raspberry Pi and it will boot. The PSU will always be powered in this situation. If you decide to start playing around with GPIOs, just remember to use 3.3v NOT 5v and use current limiting resistors. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
