Do I really need two buttons to add safe shut down?

Post by Lpoolm » Thu Aug 24, 2017 1:27 am

Just getting all my parts together then saw wermys new vid, I like the thought of the safe shut down but don't really want a switch and a button.
Has anyone done this yet using just one switch, one I get all my bits will be able to try more but was hoping for a head start in the preparation..
Thanks

if you see my build, i have a one button solution....

but my build is done with a prototype pcb and i've made my own 2.4 screen that fits the build....

but i think you might run into an issue with how the screen LED is wired on the kit Helder sell, as i believe it will stay on with my method (havent tried it myself to be certain)

Thanks, once I get all my bits will give it a mess, cracking build by the way.
However I am already thinking it's going to be too small too, but I enjoy the build now more than the playing!
