The build is almost complete and the only thing missing is the power switch, which I do not know how to wire.
I’ve done some reading and ended up ordering two kinds of sensors from Adafruit, as seen in Neil’s thread, as well as small relays that he uses to send a signal to the motherboard power switch pins. However, I could not find a definitive answer on how to wire the Adafruit touch sensor and the Omron low signal relay and then connect everything back to the power switch pins on the mobo.
Since I've already gone through one PicoPSU due to shorting, I just wanted to make sure this would be the correct procedure before I burn something else.
Neil's thread:

AT42QT1010 - momentary sensor
AT42QT1012 - toggle
Low signal relay: Omron G6A-274P-ST40-US-DC5

Could someone please help me with wiring this? I understand that once the touch is sensed the sensor sends the signal to the relay, which in turn sends a low signal to the power switch pins.
Would this be correct:

Would this be correct:
- I’m already tapping directly into the PicoPSU to get +5V and wiring it to the VDD connector on the touch sensor
- I’m already taking ground directly from PicoPSU and wiring it to GND connector on the touch sensor
- Where should I then connect OUT from the touch sensor? I’m assuming this should go to the relay, but not sure which pin?
- Once the out line from the sensor is connected to the relay, which two pins should I use to send the signal back to the motherboard power switch pins?
