it didn't matter which pin went to EN and which went to GND, either way it would turn everything on or off. That's why I've labeled them with gray wires.
Nice post!
I got a cross thread question for you, check my thread on adding a MOSFET switch to do graceful shutdowns.

I plan on using EN and GND on the Powerboost to rig up an emergency reset button (since we need some way to do this). I dont have mine to test yet, but reading the Powerboost documentation, it seems that the default state is on, and when closing EN and GND overrides this, and shuts it off.
So, two questions. Can you confirm that closing EN and GND shuts off, and as soon as that is released, it turns ON? I need to know if the tactile switch here would work as a reset button for me. Second question is, do you see a problem with me setting it up this way? Instead by placing the output of the Powerboost to this MOSFET switch so that it can control the power,, and then repurposing EN and GND for my emergency reset circuit. Let me know your thoughts.
