      I was curious if the PowerBlock supports debouncing on the switch inputs. I've recently upgraded to the version 2.2 after using the 1.0 board for several years. I'm noticing on my builds that use vintage toggle switches that the PowerBlock seems to be switching into momentary mode and will almost immediately turn off. If I do a quick toggle, the unit stays powered on. I'm betting these older switches are about as noisy as it gets. I wasn't able to find schematics online, but I'd like to avoid inlining an RC+Schmitt trigger if possible.

      Assuming debouncing is handled in firmware rather than hardware, would it be possible to get an image with momentary support disabled?

        @sstallion Hi! Yes, the PowerBlock does some software debouncing. Please contact me at contact (at) petrockblock.com and I can send you a firmer with the momentary button support disabled. I have this, in fact, already prepared.
