[FOR SALE] Safe Shutdown v1.2 (for PowerBoost)

[McGyver]

Ordered! Thank you!

One question is just coming up: Regarding the autosave on exit of emulators. In the moment this is managed by trigger one button mapped to exit the emulator (escape).

Will this autosave works as well during the Pi shuts down getting triggered by the LBO signal?

Is this the same circuit as described here? viewtopic.php?t=1059.

No

Are you sharing the schematic for this for the DIYers?

I'm not entirely sure. The script simply calls "shutdown". If the emulator exits safely at this point, I imagine it would autosave? If you test it, be sure to post your findings

I had planned to write up another guide, but I've not had the time. I'm hoping to have a v1.3 board produced and will
probably have a DIY version available, and a guide. I can't predict when, though.

Ordered one. Thank you!

I tried the sudo shutdown via SSH during playing a game: the game state will not being saved
Could the shutdown command maybe being edited? The best would be to send "keypress ESCAPE" by script before the shutdown command...

Yes, you can edit the script any way you want. Simply replace the line

Code: Select all

os.system("sudo shutdown -h now")

There are plenty ways to simulate keypresses in python.

Cool, thanks. Are you using your own design or one from elsewhere? I could make use of the schematic for studying before a whole guide is necessary.

Thanks

Hi there! I'm new here!
Can I also use this safe shutdown for shutting down my pi-NES (raspberry pi3 in a Nintendo Entertainment System) via the original power button?

Thanks in advance for any replies & Happy Easter!

This will work with any RPi with a PowerBoost, but is designed to work with a slide switch, not a push button.

Camble you are the man!!!!!. Orderd this one from you also. Thanks for the great work.
