If this package device is left unused, the battery will be completely discharged. The power switch does not operate when the adapter is connected to the x802 boarder. So when I remove the power cord of the battery holder from the x708 boarder and reconnect it, it charges and works. However, the software does not boot.

But according to my testing the software shutdown that is done via GPIO 13 actually triggers the x708pwr.sh script with GPIO 5 and performs a safe shutdown before cutting off power.)

When I look at the python scripts it appears to just kill power after toggling GPIO 13, simulating a button press of > 3 seconds. I am try to use the X708 on MotionEye OS which is a stripped down version of Raspbian and write my own scripts. I would like to understand how the X708 uses GPIO 5, 12, and 13 so that I can monitor GPIO 6 and gracefully power down after a number of minutes. Do I turn 13 hi...)

After some tests and comparing multiple variables, I managed to fix the problem in my original SD card. What worked for me was moving everything extra on the "/etc/rc.local" file to somewhere else and only keeping "/etc/x708pwr.sh &". Apparently, there was an error related to the "rc.local" file.)

15:53, 6 November 2022 2.50.121.7 talk performed unknown action "comments/add" on X708-Software (Hey, When the main power is down, I want the Raspberry pi to show a message, close some programs safely, and then shut down. Then, once I connect the main power again, the pi turns on automatically. That means I don't want to interact with the onboard button since the pi will be closed in a case. I referred to the Hardware documentation and could enable the automatic switch on when I connect the power, but that only happens when the X708 hat is off. My problem now is how to switch the hat OF...)

The x708softsd.sh script uses GPIO13 to perform a software shutdown. The question is: how? Does it just turn off the power on the board or does it somehow emulate the pressing of the button (GPIO5) and the proper shutdown is then performed by the x708pwr.sh script?)
