I’ve designed a small circuit you can build which lets you power an Arduino On, or Off by pushing a button, or responding to an external signal, such as from a sensor. You can also use this circuit with a Real Time Clock (RTC) module to power on an Arduino at a particular time, or date and time and then lets the Arduino power itself off when done. The circuit consumes only microAmps when off, so you can use it to build systems that can run for months using ordinary batteries.
