You're not trying to use both the PowerBoost and the BangGood board, are you?

hi,

Frame 1 is an example for an installation with a adafruit powerboost .
I personally have the model of the image 2. I just do not know where to plug the switch.

thanks

If you have a SPST or a SPDT, you should put the switch on the battery's red wire.
If you have a DPST or a DPDT, you should put the switch on the battery's red wire and in parallel on the usb-in red wire.

hi,

it's the original switch from the game-boy (i don't know if SPST,SPDT...)
could you do me a diagram of the assembly.
I am beginner in electronics and that is understandable with a scheme to me.

a big thank you for your help

Moved the forum to GBZ, when concluded and written up, I can move it back to guides.

Thanks!

I am using the Banggood board as well, works great.
As the board, when not in use, consumes very little power you can place the switch in between the + line that connects the Banggood board to your power distribution board. This allows you to charge your battery when your Gameboy is on or off (The banggood board supports charging while being used).

What pins on the original power switch should we use?
