Modify Power Button Behaviour to 'Hold for three seconds'??
-
Im using the following shutdown script, but its susceptible to false triggers (Or shutdown if you catch the button etc)
Is there a way to make it wait until the button has been pressed for a period of time (Say three seconds)
I'm running Retropi 4.4 on a Pi3B+
**#!/bin/python import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time import os #gpio_pin_number=YOUR_CHOSEN_GPIO_NUMBER_HERE #Replace YOUR_CHOSEN_GPIO_NUMBER_HERE with the GPIO pin number you wish to use #Make sure you know which rapsberry pi revision you are using first #The line should look something like this e.g. "gpio_pin_number=7" GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(3, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP) def Shutdown(channel): os.system("sudo systemctl poweroff") GPIO.add_event_detect(3, GPIO.FALLING, callback = Shutdown, bouncetime = 2000) while 1: time.sleep(5) GPIO.cleanup() #Revert all GPIO pins to their normal states (i.e. input = safe)**

You can increase the
bouncetime
from 2sec to something larger. -

Perhaps I need to use a different script that relies on the button being held.
