BOE Power & Reset

I am using a BS2 BOE to run an electric brewery, and would like to put the BOE in the enclosure with all the other electronics. The enclosure has both 240V and 120V circuits, and I am going to use a purchased 9V power supply to run the Stamp. If I have the power supply connected to the main switched 120V power, and leave the switch on the BOE on all the time, will it cause problems using the 120V supply to switch the BOE on and off?

Also, is there a way to have a remote reset? I have a normally open push button on the panel, and I would like this to reset the stamp.

Thanks in advance.

    The power set-up will be fine. I have several BS2's that run 24/7. The only time they get turned off is in a power outage They start back-up when power is restored like nothing ever happened.Never missing a beat.

    Use a N.O. momentary connected to pin 22 of the BS2 and to VSS. Pulling the the reset pin low, forces the BS2 to reset.

    You'll have to solder a wire to the BS2 side of the reset button on the BOE if I remember rite.(NO reset on jumper header)

    Excellent, Thanks for the help. I just looked at the schematic of the BOE, and that makes perfect sense. I wanted to try and avoid soldering to the BOE, but I'll just have to do it. I'll run it up top and jump it to the breadboard. Thanks.
