What is the best way to shut down PiDog? Do I need to ssh into it and shut it down with sudo shutdown? The switch on the HAT works, but is it a safe shutdown?
For safety and power-saving purposes, we recommend turning off your PiDog by unplugging the power switch on the robot hat when not in use.
That is what I have been doing, but I was concerned that switching off the power using the switch on the robot HAT did not do a “safe” shutdown. I guess you are telling me that it does.
Yes, to shut down, turn off the Robot HAT – this will cut power to the Raspberry Pi.
