Re: Making a remote start for your PC.
If it runs on 3 volts you will have to step down the voltages. Im not sure what you would need to do this, some other members may be better educated in this area then I am. If you dont lower the voltages it will most likely fry or not last very long. You would probably be better off finding one that runs on 3 1.5 volt batteries giving you 4.5volts. A half a volt shouldn't damage the chime and I have had mine hooked up for 3 months straight with no problems. Remember, you have to use the 5 volts coming out of the psu.
As for pictures, I havent worked on the thing in 6 months. It is now tucked away in th BF2 LAN PC and is quite difficult to get out. I will let you know if I have time tomorrow to take the computer apart to get to it.

im guessing that it will be the same for most doorbells regradless of the manufacture. . your best bet to get something like that would be a home and bargin or a wilkonsons, i would expect them to have them the most.

dam, i haven't seen this in a while. sup Dan, helping other people with the same problem i had. I have the 3.5volt i think in mine. so far, the only problem i get is, i gotta hold the button down for a while. haha.
Re: Making a remote start for your PC.
Good to hear it is still working.
As far as the uk, it should work on any brand as stated before. Most use the same layout and voltages. Good luck
Re: Making a remote start for your PC.
cheers danth.
watch out for my case mod coming around the beggining of january.
Re: Making a remote start for your PC.
Now THAT I gotta have a bash at.
Nice one.
Re: Making a remote start for your PC.
Man, some of you people haven't heard of this? It's been done on Xboxes for years now. I remember first seeing it in 2004.
Re: Making a remote start for your PC.
A very cool application indeed. +rep again, mainly because I feel like it.
Now if I could just figure out where to implement it...
