Power button troubles when the Pi is OFF...

[cotedeporc]

Hello,

I have install a Power and Reset button following theses guides:
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Ajouter-un-bouton-on-off-a-votre-recalbox-(FR)

After that, I updated the @supernature2k script to Short/Long press version:
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/6996/bouton-gpio-quitter-émulateur

It works great when the Pi is On, BUT...

• When the Pi is Off (or in stand-by) it still only needs a short press to start it
• Sometimes, the Pi start by himself with no reason

I suspect some interferences in the electric system. For this case, does an EMI filter is mandatory in front of the Pi alimentation?

@supernature2k
There is a place where I can see the logs of your script?

Thank you in advance guys!

@cotedeporc Hi!

The script is not logging anything and to be honest the Pi starting by button press after shutdown is a "side effect", there is nothing in the script that tells the pi to do so.

So the wake up will always be a short press meaning of course that a small short circuit could also trigger the wake.

Thanks for the answer!
Do you face the same problem with all your RecalBoxes?

I will try with an EFI filter in front of the Pi. I expect to be interference-proof....
I will post the results in this thread.

@cotedeporc nope, I had sometimes the "shutdown" behavior before adding timer in the script (especially when pluging USB devices) but never experienced the power on
