Rocker switch on GPIO pins?

[NoAttitude]

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

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]

@Substring it s for the on and off switch.. thankyou

[Substring]

@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

@Substring one for ground, one for I, one for 0 si you can conbect your switch as closed on either 0 or I

Do u mind drawing a simple diagram for me ?? T---T I m so confused right now

@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

@voljega

Is this drawing method correct??

[voljega]

@NoAttitude no as I said pin5 goes on switch I and nothing on switch 0

@NoAttitude no as I said pin5 goes on switch I and nothing on switch 0

This is it??

[voljega]

@NoAttitude that's not what I wrote.

@voljega

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

[voljega]

@NoAttitude I never mentioned pin 8

[NoAttitude]

I hope I am correct this time...

[voljega]

I hope so too, you need to test

[NoAttitude]

@voljega No .. it does nt work T-T

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.
