Project: Turn on a computer with an RF remote control

[fubar.gr]

I had this remote control module (basically a garage door opener) lying around so I decided to put it into use



This module has two relays and each of them is controlled by the corresponding button on the remote control.

I wired the relays in series, so both buttons on the remote have to be pressed simultaneously to turn the computer on.

I also had to make a little boost converter, because the module runs on 12V and I wanted to power it from the motherboard's 5VSB supply.
