--- Quote from: offset on February 03, 2014, 11:05:26 am ---@EMDB that is pretty cool. Do you have a quick wiring diagram? I need the same thing for some arcade cabinets I have (gutted conversions that I'm brainstorming how to run MAME on them). They all have the Isolation Transformer for the CRT and original power bricks, just need to tie in my computer to the existing power switch on the cabinet. I guess I could try to tie in the computer power strip to the circuit with the main power switch and cabinet interlock switches (coin door and back cabinet interlock switches). --- End quote --- Sure. Here you are: |

Peripherals such as amps or anything else that might be powered by a wall connector should not be left on. Get a smart strip. It will retain power to one socket at all times (computer), and trigger the rest by USB (when the computer is on. Then do as I previously said and attach on arcade button or momentary button to the power pins on the motherboard. It's that simple. One touch, on. One touch, off. |
