I can't measure how long i push in a button and then remove my finger but I'd have to guess it's less than 1 second. I'm sure a second long duration would be plenty. Q: And the minimum length of the signal required:Ī: Again erring on the side of caution would be fine. Reference the pictures I posted, but the standby signal should be positive, so I'm guessing the answer to your question is positive. Surely 2 seconds would be enough (i can plug in the receiver and press the button 2 seconds later and it turns on).Ī: I wasn't sure what this question meant but the best i can discern you were wondering if I was dealing with a positive or negative signal. Q: You need to determine the time delay required:Ī: If you mean the time delay before the monostable should send a pulse to turn on the receiver, for the project I'm building there is no harm in going extra long to make sure it's long enough. I will now try to answer the questions you posed: I took some pictures of the switch circuit board.Īnd here is the back if you just want to see the push button attached to the standby / ground channels:

Momentary switch diptrace crack#

Ok I took some time this weekend to crack it open in hopes of getting some of the information I need.

Surely someone who tinkers more might have experience in this category?Īny more information would be greatly appreciated. More importantly - has anyone done this before? I know it's an odd request but for some applications it comes in really handy. If it's just a microprocessor sensing voltages and then deciding to do something with it, I would recon I literally could epoxy the button in the *in* position and wouldn't harm the microprocessor in any way - is that correct?

How easy is it to do something like this? What about with the TV where in my scenario I was constantly holding the button in with tape.

Momentary switch diptrace code#

How about the original intent of trying to modify power switches to always be one when plugged in? To me it sounds like I'd have to buy my own microprocessors - write the code for them, and then remove the old and wire the new. So the microprocessor then has code stored in it to decide what to do with pulses as they enter?

Momentary switch diptrace software#

I'm a software developer so i can relate to software. I assume the power for the pulse comes from the plug in the wall. I've also noticed with my receiver the behavior is not the same so I know there are different implementations behind the push button switch. Is there a chance I would fry an electrical component doing this?

So this perhaps might be an easy way to mod the TV but I'm nervous about constantly shorting a switch that was designed to make contact for a very short period. After unplugging it and then plugging it back it, it again turns on. Furthermore I'd like to understand what the 'magic' is and understand how these devices are working.Īdditional info: I've noticed with my TV if I hold the power button down (via tape or something) and then plug it in, it turns on. To do this I would like to remove the on/off functionality and have devices always be on. Then I want to be able to turn on that one power switch and have everything (including a computer, TV, and receiver) all turn on at once.

I am doing a project (building an arcade cabinet) where I have several devices that I want to plug into a power strip.

What I really want to know is the magic behind the button. I do not know or understand how this is possible - although I want to be clear *I fully understand how a momentary push button switch works* (via push-to-make, or push-to-break). Further amazing is the devices ability to be able to then shut itself back off if pressed again. By this I mean when you press the button in and then remove your finger, the button returns to it's initial position.īy magic unknown to me just by making contact for a brief period of time, the device stays on. Most likely it has a momentary power button switch. Take an electronic device like a TV or a receiver. Or more aptly, how can I modify them to always be on?
