Connecting external reset switch to Orangutan X2 with VNH3

Hi there. I’m running an Orangutan X2 with VNH3 and need to connect external switches to its power and reset lines. I can see where I can put some connecting posts to add a parallel power switch but there are no similar holes around the reset switch. I don’t want to mess up the PCB and I’d like something that is mechanically sound (and via connecting posts rather than directly soldered wires).

Has anyone in here done this and can recommend a solution?

Hi, Rob.

Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to add an additional reset button. If you are planning on not using the reset button on the board, you might consider removing it and soldering the connections for the new button there.

OK, that’s not a bad idea, I can always short the posts if I want to do a local reset myself.

Thanks.

Please feel free to let us know how it turns out.

Yup, it worked absolutely fine.
