I'm doing a little project with a PRJC teensy AVR devboard. I'd like to use a transistor to short a switch to the power to the to the +5 volt pin. Said transistor would be controlled by a pin from the chip and used to power down the board when it's task is finished.
The problem is that I was trained and worked as a tech 30 years ago and have been a bookseller since. I never learned circuit design. Just how to find and replace broken and burned components.
I have no idea what type of transistor to use and what size resistors (if any) I need to add to the circuit.
This is most likely going to be a one off project so I don't really need an education in circuit design, Just a simple "use this transistor and these resistors in these places." type answer.
Thanks.
