It is running well, this on/off button is usefully, when I am running something, screen and network independent.

I bought this shim so I could safely power cycle a headless RiPi-Zero. A daemon is required to use the shim and this is easily installed from the pimoroni.com web site. One command line and it's done. There is a breakout for an external button so you can add your own button to the outside of a case. I doubt most cases provide easy access to the on-shim button so this is the way to go. This is a great little shim and I'm sure I'll be buying more.

I bought this to put in a RetroPie build. It works like a charm, and makes for a nice, unobtrusive little button in small builds.
