I may even get industrious and hook up a GPIO button to do it or do it programmatically, will have to see how I go!
oh that's a neat idea to use gpio!
Thanks, I've added shutdown via a GPIO button multiple times so it should not be too tricky! You could even do it with the "off the shelf" scripts and just make that script "toggle" your boot, ie; one power off it selects one server, the next power off it uses the other.
That's super great - when you get it running, let us know. If you want to turn it into a project, I'll add a category here for you to post the stuff. I think ppl would appreciate an embedded Pi solution like that.

Re: Pi Inside - shutdown button etc

Post by intangybles »

I have done basic testing on my single button rig, all good.

But was thinking on which way to go with it - keep it to a single button etc - after some other peoples thoughts?

Should I add it to the topic: viewforum.php?f=28

DJ, going on from this and my other question about. Thinking of the "out of the box" multi-button hat type options for the Pi, can the server be made to read a given config or command line to allow the selection of a desired "channel"?

ie; press button one for CP/M, button two for Cycle 2 etc?

You can edit the config file if you want to manually change the default channel. Otherwise just press the SAVE CHANNEL button in the program to save that channel as default

I'll do the headless IA control option soon lol. I started it a few months ago and really only need to package it up. I wouldn't use it so it's selfishly low priority for me :D
