Hi!
I am having trouble connecting the Metal Illuminated Button (Picade Power Button) to my raspberry pi 4. Where do the wires go and does it require any programming?
Also the Mini Speaker 4Ω (3W) won’t work. I edited the config.txt adding noaudio as suggested on several online locations to disable hdmi audio out. Still it won’t show up. I have the picade sound card connected to the pi correctly.
Thanks for any advice!
Else I’m really happy with my build
No one?
Would really appreciate some help
Might need a bit more info about your setup to be able to help here - are you using a Picade X HAT?
Hi! No there is no picade x hat. Just a raspberry pi 4 with the picade USB max Controller and the picade Max USB audio Card. Both connected to usb ports on the raspberry pi. And am not sure where to Connect the illuminated power Switch.
Running retropie as Emulator.
Kind regards!
Ah, OK - on Picade Max we connect the power button to the Pi via a dedicated power board.
You could connect the button to pin 5 / GPIO 3 and ground and add the following line to your config.txt to trigger a shutdown / startup? I don’t think you’ll be able to use it to actually cut the power without additional hardware though.
dtoverlay=gpio-shutdown
It would be easier on a Pi 5, as there are dedicated terminals for attaching an external power button.
There’s some information about how to get the Picade Max USB Audio board working here: Setting Up Picade Max . You might need to select the correct audio device in the menus. Updating the firmware to the most recent version is also probably worth doing.
