You can now add an on/off button to your Recalbox. The button can be a push button (also called "momentary switch") or an ON/OFF button.
-
Connect one pin to the GPIO3 (the fifth gpio from the top left), and the other to the ground on its right (the sixth gpio).
-
Finally, you must enable button support in the recalbox.conf file by adding one of these lines:
system.power.switch=PIN56ONOFF for an ON/OFF buttonsystem.power.switch=PIN56PUSH for a push button
And you have a Recalbox that can be turned off/on with a single button!
There is another option where you can add a reset button and an LED.
- In recalbox.conf, add/uncomment (by removing the ; at the beginning of the line) the following line:
system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET
- To wire the reset button to the Raspberry Pi GPIO:
- Connect one pin to GPIO2 (the third gpio from the top left)
- Connect the other pin to the same ground as the on/off button (the sixth gpio).
- The LED is connected to GPIO14 (the eighth gpio) as well as to the ground.
- Power+ on GPIO 3 (PIN 5)
- Reset+ on GPIO 2 (PIN 3)
- LED+ on GPIO 14 (PIN 8)
- Power-, Reset- and Led- on one of the masses (PIN 6, 9, 14, 20, 25, 30, 34 or 39)
Note that this only works with a push button for reset and an ON/OFF button for power
- Short press (off) : Turn on your Recalbox
- Short press (lit) : Exit the current emulator and return to the main menu
- Long press (lit) : Turn off your Recalbox (equivalent to doing
SELECT > Turn off normally)
- Short press (off) : -
- Short press (lit) : Reset the game, as in the old days on the console
- Long press (on) : Restart your Recalbox (equivalent to
SELECT > Restart)
