rodeo-power-switch

Built, untested

One button and one connector, and nothing else — the resistors and the filter live on the motherboard. Pressed in, it enables the buck-boost converter; out, the synth is off and the battery carries on charging. The plunger comes through a slot in the panel and works bare, so the printed cap is optional.

Made in the same run and on the bench. Its test is part of the power bring-up — that switching off cuts everything whether or not something is plugged in — and that has not been run on it yet.
