RE: Little Button in Box? - pine.tree - 04-19-2016
I'd like to hear from someone who didn't want the switch on the Pine. That's the reason the switches weren't pre-soldered.

Why? Both switches and led functionality is available on the EXP connector. There's no need to attach anything else than wires.

I seriously need to read up on all the connections on the Pine. You've just made part of my day.
detached button in envelope - grimmwerks - 04-19-2016
Got my Pine today - the Pine was in a bag, in a box, in an envelope, sealed. There was also what seems to be a small button -- for rebooting? How and where do I attach it to the board?
RE: detached button in envelope - pine.tree - 04-20-2016
It can be used as a power switch, or as a reset switch. You can put the switch into the four-hole pattern found below the USB ports in this image: http://wiki.pine64.org/images/7/7d/Pine64_Board_Connector.png
You don't have to solder the switch onto the board, you can just bend the switch connectors inside the holes. Soldering would guarantee a good connection though.

There was a little button floating loose in the box along with the pine board.
Did anyone else get the same thing?
If so, what should I do with it. I am assuming it is some sort of add on power button.
Thanks,
Adam
Mine was loose outside the box in the mailer.

I had a dream about that little power button the other night...

Was it about diving into a sea of teeny tiny tact switches? I have had that dream, my friend...
Or maybe you took the switch out for dinner then dancing? I have had that dream too...
Hopefully it's not a nightmare......

I'm still waiting for my pine64's to ship, but I have received a couple of things from Amazon this week in padded envelopes. The other night I woke up in a panic because that button might still be in the envelope!

Mine was loose in the mailing container. Freaked out a bit when I saw it =)
