Project: Turn on a computer with an RF remote control
« on: November 24, 2014, 12:23:50 pm »
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.



For more info see the article here: http://fubar.gr/remote-controlled-computer-power-on-eng/

The Youtube video has English captions available.
