basically the bash is something like

lgpt.sh // or whatever you call the piggy startup script
sudo shutdown -h now

And it wont run the shutdown part until piggy does a clean (not crashing) exit.

I setup a boot script that cleanly shuts down on piggy exit, so it wasnt a big deal. You can also do the same and wire a pushbutton on one of the gpio if you rather have manual control.

Not bad at all!

Maybe OT, but how do you like using a Pi for chiptracking? It seems like the lack of a good way to shut it off would be a big setback.

Hello,

One of the bonuses when using a pi for piggy is you can use it as a midi converter. Someone posted a good tutorial for this here:
