Which Mausberry shutdown circuit to use for SNES power toggle switch?
-
New to all this, and new to electronics in general, and I've done a lot of reading but have one quick simple question that I can't find a great answer to.
I'm doing the typical SNES conversion with a Pi 2, using the Retropie GPIO adapter for controllers, and want to use the Mausberry shutdown circuit to hook up the original SNES toggle switch.
My question is, which option do I choose? I'm thinking the 2-pin spring header version would allow me to connect the SNES power switch directly, or am I missing something? Can I use this one?

@MarrtyMcFly You'd be better getting the micro USB to micro USB solder your own switch version, then just wire up the existing button and circuit to it.

@markyh444 So the second one? Then just wire the SNES toggle switch to the +/- SW section of the Mausberry board, and the blue and white wires to the GPIO as normal?

Yes, the second one you linked. you would connect your power in to the microusb port. The full USB port would go to the PI's micro port. Blue/White would go to GPIO. Power switch would be soldered to switch +/- connections... If you could fashion something to use the reset switch, you could connect that to the reset connections. You can also connect the front led to the LED/Gnd ports as well... (GND is shared between reset and led)
