    I appreciate the reply but have nowhere near the technical background to understand let alone impliment those instructions. I am a complete tech noobie.

    Is what I have done (momentary button to pins 5 and 6 (ground) on the RPi, added "dtoverlay=GPIO-shutdown" to the config.txt file) going to cause data loss when used?????

    Thanks,

    Rob

    So someone know a good looking Case for the Raspberry Pi 4. I will build a Handheld but there arent any nice looking cases (that I found).

    @MeduZaPaT Will I be able to use the PPA that is listed on the wiki deployment page? It seems like it is from 2020 so I'm concerned it is out of date.

    I am using the pi4 with retropie. When I install, do I just need to go about it manually (build)? Was using the PPA even an option for me?

    I apologize for such basic questions. Linux has a lot of unknowns to me.

    @blacknell Hi! I have just replied to your email.

    Generally, the default PowerBlock firmware does not return to the previous power state upon power loss. However, I did work on this feature some months ago and I built an updated firmware version for the PowerBlock that contains this feature: Upon switch on, the PowerBlock persists the ON state as target state. When in ON state and a power button switch off event is observed the OFF state is persisted as target state. When a power-reset event occurs the PowerBlock returns to the previously persisted target state.

    If you have a programmer for the ATTiny85 microcontroller on the PowerBlock you could just download this other firmware.

    I am happy to provide this firmware upon request. New batches of the PowerBlock might get this firmware per default, eventually.
