@ebtalk If it did not overheat after you physically attached the button and the behaviour only started after the script was installed then that is your issue. Remove the script. Reboot and see what happens. Then re-initialise the script. If it is the script then remove it and start again. To be honest it should work or not. It just sends a sudo shutdown -h now command to the Pi. Just seems very odd behaviour. Maybe find another script and compare the two.

Ya, it's nice and keeps things cool... but again, if have a cable (game controller) with a metal end on it, one small touch at the wrong time and ZAP! there goes your board, possible MicroSD Card as well.

Not so much a worry on mine, but I know for sure that the 2 kids will have stuff getting into it, and one of them has a cat. Enough said on that one. :)
