another way to turn off my sammichSID without pressing the switch ?

[cuca]

hello , sorry for my question and for my english , greetings from Spain . I fell very afraid thinking that  interrupting suddenly the power pressing the switch to off  position could create a disaster in my sammichSID some day .  Do you think it could happen some day ? or its the only way to turn off the unit ? . is it secure ? i always had a bad feeling about interrupt the power of any hardware .  Someone knows another way to turn off the power without pressing the switch ?   

 

thanks very much and sorry for disturb.

Don't worry, nothing dangerous will happen.

 

Just imagine that you've soldered a big el-cap into the box which will slowly ramp-down the voltage when you turn off the sammichSID, so that PIC and SIDs are sent into deep-sleep softly.  :sleep:

 

Best Regards, Thorsten.
