Hi,
Have been using version 4.0 for a few days... I think its awesome, some many things to discover and learn.
However, my query regards the GPIO on the Raspberry Unit. It seems that to use the reverse camera, certain of the GPIO has been reserved for this and other functions.
I wish to use an external "shutdown" button and as previously I had "pin 5" set for this purpose.
I just need to confirm that I can still use this "pin" or do I need to use some other pin for an external "shutdown". Also can I just connect this pin to ground to achieve shutdown or should a 10k resistor be used in circuit.?
Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you again for a fantastic product.
