Would be great to add On/Off switch.

@vpominchuk I've attempted to add adafruit power button and cleaned up schematics a little bit. Would you please take a look at updated Fritzing file on my fork? https://github.com/morozgrafix/lightmeter/tree/power_button/Schematic%20Diagram

Added Adafruit Power Button Switch

TODO:

Cleanup: Cleaned up Breadboard and Schematic in Fritzing (needs thorough check to make sure everything is still correctly routed)

Partially solves #1

TODO:

  • Wire up OFF pin of the power button to Arduino and update code for automatic shut off
  • PCB layout to accomodate power button

Hi, this is a bit late but has the Wire up OFF pin of the power button to Arduino been done? I pulled the latest version of the source code and found that the device has trouble starting up after switching the slide switch off.

I have to wait about a minute before I can start the device again.
