Power on

Power on is designed to use an external power-on switch. The external switch turns on one board; this board then turns on slave boards.

The physical on-off switch is shorted in on-position.

Power off

Raspberry Pi initiates turn off, which orders Teensy (boards) to turn off after the Raspberry shutdown. A request power off button will tell the Raspberry that it is time to shut down.

Do not use the battery's power-off feature except in emergencies (e.g., if the battery is totally flat or something is burning).

Bonnet view

Power on and off. The on/off on the battery is for emergency use only.
