From the project
Mini HAT with a Push Button to Power the Raspberry Pi On and Off Safely, After the Shutdown Sequence Completes
- When the Raspberry Pi is off, a button press powers it on. - When the Raspberry Pi is on, a button press initiates the shutdown sequence, and when it completes, cuts the power automatically. - An additional switch in the USB cable is not necessary; after the shutdown, the power is completely off.
Only shutdown sometimes is not enough. After the shutdown the Raspberry Pi enters a halted state, the operating system has ceased all activity, but the hardware remains powered. Most models continue to draw power (up to 1.5W for a Pi 4). The red Power LED often remains lit, and some peripherals…
