    I have an amp separate from my home theater receiver that runs the left and right main speakers. It can be powered on by a 12v trigger. I once had it set up this way but I lost the cable. Question: I thought I remember the cable being a simple, one wire cable connected by rudimentary jacks...

    DIY 5V USB to 12V Remote Trigger This can be used for anything that needs a trigger such as electric screen, projector etc... Also you don't have to use a 12V power supply. Since you're switching the PS on/off with the relay you can use any voltage the relay will handle. In fact it will also...

    Hi, I've just set up a HTPC that is to be used for more than that sometimes, but mostly audio, video but also web, mail and more. My initial thought was to use a tablet/phone app for remote controlling it, and while it works ok for the most part, I've noticed that typing isn't even remotely...

  18. System Setup and Connection
    Looking for a relay to turn my amps on (no internal relay) with a 12v trigger. I'm begining to think I'll need to use 2 relays, a 12v coil low amp to then trigger a larger 120v coil and the mains power. Would be nice to get this done with a single relay. Anyone built something like this?
