I've heard that only TVs have cec. Would this work with a regular monitor as well?

So I'm wanting to use cron to make my monitor turn on and off at certain times, but every way I've seen to turn off the monitor just leaves mine on a blue screen saying no input. I have tried these 2 options and have seen no others: Any help is appreciated

You seem to have lost all your indentation (spacing) on posting that code and you have multiple statements per line, which makes it difficult to follow. Can you repost it with the leading spaces and the code on separate lines so it makes sense? I can, here it is: import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import os i...

I was pressing for maybe a second at most. However, I agree, it probably wasn't working because of my sleep command which froze all my code.

Update: removing the time.sleep(15) before print("On") seems to have fixed it... why?

So I made a shutdown program, and the program worked the first few times, but appears to not work when I push the button that should execute code import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import os import time import Tkinter import tkMessageBox GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) GPIO.setup(16,GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOW...

I'm curious as to what may cause that? Because all I have on my board right now is a button to short GPIO 5 and 6, and then the one I'm working on(which will be an off button)

I was just wondering, how well do the internal pull up/down resistors work? If they work well then it saves me a good bit of time(especially with the way my breakout board is set up.) So, I was just wondering if they are trustworthy, as right now I need a pull down resistor in order to make an off b...

So, for Christmas I got a Raspberry Pi, and am trying to make a basic shutdown button on a breadboard.. The only problem is that all the models I see show this done with a different kind of breakout board. I have this one. https://www.vilros.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/1200x1200/9df78eab...
