The All in One gets power from the powerboost and the Data lines from the Pi Zero.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

I got the Pololu power switch today and I hooked it up with my prototype board following this diagram and I could not get it to work. Comparing it Popcorn's diagram it looks like the Ground (G) next to the 5V needs to be hooked up to the third pin down on the left hand side where the emergency reset button is currently connected and the emergency reset button needs to move one pin down. Is that correct? or am I mistaken?

You're right - I messed up a couple very critical things in the diagram. I dearly hope you didn't ruin anything because of my faulty diagram. (If you did, let me know so I can make it up to you). 1. Not grounding the PowerBoost (your good catch). 2. Getting RPI ground reversed.

My Pololu switch should arrive later this week so I can't quite test it yet.

I should be fine since I never hooked up ground. I tested the monitor and the pi0 separately and they both still power on fine. I was able to get the pololu switch to power on yesterday hooking it up with my suggestion without anything else I looked up to it. One other thing in Popcorn's diagram and in your diagram the Palolo switch seems to be on position but his notes indicate it needs to be in the off position is that correct ?
