      Hello everybody!
      Has anyone tried to install an external on/off button on the Tough yet (using the additional hole in the case, for example)? Is it possible?

      I've tried searching the forum, but haven't found anything.

      Thanks in advance for the help,
      Diego

        Hello @dichi

        if I needed a external power button for the M5Tough I'd solder a thin wire to GND and another to the existing power button; then connect the two wires to the external power button.

        Optionally you could drill a hole into the base where the existing power button is. (You'd loose some water proofing I guess.)

        Thanks
