How to set-up GPIO output status

[recce]

Hi Tim, your code works very good, better than my solution.
Thank you.

My solution worked well but there is a problem: after shutdown, I'm not able to use other GPIO pin as input (for example the restart function). I don't know why but at the moment I have no time to investigate and also you provided a perfect solution.
Moreover, with your code, GPIO 17 turns ON just when MoodeAudio gests ready for music, and not before... perfect.

Thanks again.
