Raspberry Pi Bumper Button Holder

thingiverse

This project attaches to the Raspberry Pi B+ Bumper case, allowing you to add a large red button. The button is versatile and can be used for almost any purpose - just write some code and you're ready to go. The Bumper case design can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:629886 I use my Raspberry Pi with my 3D printer. When it's turned on, the webcam and wifi module are running, and I don't want them to stay on constantly. So, when I'm done printing, I press the button and make the Pi go into sleep mode. When I want to start printing again, I press the button and the Pi wakes up. I prefer using a physical button next to my printer, which is why I do this instead of connecting to the Pi from my computer. The button is connected to pins 5 and 6. I set up a script that shuts down the Pi when you press the button or wakes it up (if it was previously shut down).
