GPIO Switches

Goal is to use the Power and Volume switches from the Arcade 1 up cabinet to control the power and volume

Software Installation

Prerequisits

For volume you need to install python3-alsaaudio.

sudo apt-get install python3-alsaaudio

Install

sudo ./install.sh

Physical Installation

Volume

• Volume Up: GPIO 12 (Red wire)
• Volume Down: GPIO 16 (Blue Wire)

Power

Power is managed by jumping GPIO pins 5 and 6. By default this switch will start the pi when it is in low power shutdown. The included script will shut down the pi when the pin goes low.
