I really didn't expect that to work since the 5v ports stay powered after a shutdown. However, I went ahead and tried it and you are absolutely right. The 3v ports go dark after a shutdown. That is exactly what I need. Thanks! -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- Y

How about an LED with a series resistor from 3.3V to ground? Pin 9-3 or Pin 9-4. If the BBB is powered up, there is 3.3V there. If the BBB has no power, there is not 3.3V there? --- Graham == On Saturday, March 7, 2015 at 3:05:02 PM UTC-6, Walker Archer wrote: > > I wasn't really considering

2015-03-07 Thread Walker Archer
I have a project where a BeagleBone Black will be completely inside a case. But I would really like to be sure that the board gets powered down properly when shutting down. Ideally I'd like to have a panel-mounted LED that mimicked the BBB power LED. What is the best way to do this? My initi
