--- Quote from: Popcorrin on May 26, 2004, 08:27:19 am ---If I am not mistaken that setup would be the same as holding in the power button on the pc and releasing it once power is supplied to the power supply. I have tried this on my pc and it doesn't work. In essence it's the same as using a relay as had been described earlier in the thread. What we need is a way to close the circuit momentarily. Something that would create a short one-time pulse when power is first supplied to it. Then again I could be wrong. Let me know if you get it to work Peale. --- End quote --- I'll have to see if I can dig up an old PS or something, I don't have any caps lying around. The was he describes it, it just might work. |

Otherwise I'd use it, believe me! |

This thread has intrigued me so I did a google on automatic momentary switch and this was one of the hits. I know it is for a degaussing coil, but some of the logic seems applicable here. Link |

Try an "Interval On" style time delay relay. |
