Hi all,
Looks like we have a requirement for a software controllable relay to physically press a reset switch on a board.
<facepalm/>
Does it _have_ to physically press the switch? Can we snip out the switch and wire a relay across instead? You can get usb-controlled relays.
I've been doing some hunting but so far have come up with nothing that looks likely.
Requirements:
Dimensions: At present unknown until we have a physical board in our hands Mountable: It must be something we can attach to the shelf next to the board Controllable: Must have some sort of standard interface for operation. USB would be a preference, but at a push we could use another board's GPIO pins.
Anyone know of such a product?
I'm sure Andy Green could build one in half a day…
Andy G? Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave
