      Is it possible to use this 3 pins rocker switch with LED light on the GPIO pins??

      0_1479897143052_2.jpg

      If it s possible, how am I suppose to wire it ?? I m a super newbie on this. Can you guys help me draw out a simple diagram on how to wire this to my pi ??

      I ve read this link https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN) but it does nt mention anything on this 3 pins rocker

      Thankyou so much 🙂

        @NoAttitude You should explain how to wire your switch if you want some help. What are the 3 pins used for ?

            @NoAttitude Then how is it lit ? The powerswitch won't send any voltage/current because the detection is made with the GPIO sent to ground.

            So i'm still wondering the meaning of those 1 2 3 pins

                  @NoAttitude just connect the gpio ground to the midde one on the switch, and the other gpio pin on the one under the I on the switch

                  For the gpio pins to use just look on the wiki, tgere's a page on that

                            I must be confused here. You said "pin 5" (GPIO3) goes on switch " I " ( Right pin on the switch ) and nothing on switch " 0 " (Left pin on the switch ) Which part I am missing here ?? Thankyou

                                      just activate the system.power.switch=PIN56ONOFF and, with cables connected to Pin5 and Pin6, play with the different combinations on the real switch until you find what is right.
