GPIO.setup(5, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down = GPIO.PUD_UP) oldButtonState1 = True while True: #grab the current button state buttonState1 = GPIO.input(5) # check to see if button has been pushed if buttonState1 != oldButtonState1 and buttonState1 == False: subprocess.call("echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/bl_power && shutdown -h now", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) oldButtonState1 = buttonState1 time.sleep(.1)</pre> Going through the manual again, there's a section of what's passed through the GPIO.<br /> The DAC uses pin 5 for I2C. I reckon if I'm now scripting that 5 is something else, that's what's kicking the sound out of touch. On that diagram though GPIO5 is pin 29, so as the script mentions it must be using the physical layout as only the first 10 pins are presented on top the Amp card and when the script runs, the power button works, but has the undesirable sound side effect.<br /><br /> So, with the attached diagram(s) in mind I'm guessing I could swap pins 5 (gpio3) and 6 (gnd) to be 9 (gnd) and 10 (gpio15). Would that be feasable?!<br /><br /> UPDATE - I've tried a combination of the other pins and updated the script accordingly. No joy there.<br /><br /> The pin diagram from the manual shows 7, 8 and 10 are available pins and I've tried them all against a pin 9 ground and it's just not doing anything when the shutdown button's pushed. I read that pins 5 and 6 are somehow favoured for the two pins that when shorted will put the Pi into a sleep mode. I haven't yet found whether this can be changed.<br /><br /> <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 25 Aug 2018 21:13 by GRAPHITONE</div> </div> <div class="message_attachments"> <span>Attachments:</span> <ul> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=4e3b512bf1ea305a418222954aa00903&filename=DAC+ and AMP+.PNG" target="_blank">DAC+ and AMP+.PNG</a></li> <li><span class="image attach"></span><a href="get_attachment.php?webtag=DEFAULT&hash=751c91fb1ad05a29c57e33c48bcb2e95&filename=Pi-GPIO.png" target="_blank">Pi-GPIO.png</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42216.43&return_msg=42216.42" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42216.43"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42216_44"></a><div class="message" id="message_42216_44"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Peter (BOUGHTONP)<span class="message_time">26 Aug 2018 14:12</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 26 Aug 2018 14:59"></span></span> <span class="message_count">44 of 92</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42216.44">42216.44</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42216.42#a42216_43" target="_self">42216.43</a></div> <div class="message_body"> The <tt>GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)</tt> makes it use pin numbers, but you can use <tt>GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)</tt> to use GPIO numbers instead. <p>The DAC/AMP might only provide the first 10 pins on top, but it's not clear from photos if they actually prevent you connecting to the other pins underneath?</p></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42216.44&return_msg=42216.42" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42216.44"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42216_45"></a><div class="message" id="message_42216_45"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: graphitone<span class="message_time">26 Aug 2018 18:41</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Peter (BOUGHTONP) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 26 Aug 2018 20:12"></span></span> <span class="message_count">45 of 92</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42216.45">42216.45</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42216.42#a42216_44" target="_self">42216.44</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Yeah, they do.
