#USB SWITCH ON OFF PC#

You can mount the chip on a small project board or build your own from scrap PC material. Connect the two ends of the USB +5V line to the input and output of a relay chip.

#USB SWITCH ON OFF INSTALL#

Install a DC power jack in the project box that's compatible with the connector on the wall wart. Get a wall wart and a DC relay chip that are of compatible operating voltages (i.e., if the relay operates at +5V get a 5VDC wall wart). Insert the cable and grommets through holes at each end of the box and splice the three wires together (everything but the +5V line). Drill three holes in the box: two for grommets and one for a DC power jack. Get a small project box and cut a USB cable somewhere between the connectors. If all you need is to control it via a timer then it should be a relatively straightforward circuit to build. What are you planning to use as a trigger to either energize or de-energize the USP port? In other words, what type of event would require the port to be toggled on or off?

I'm just not sure how to go about setting that up on a PC. You'd probably need a single output that would toggle between a high or a low as the switching signal. You'd probably need some sort of interface whereby you could program it to send a signal to the external switch and toggle the outputs in the manner I described.

Switch back to the same input and the devices are powered back on.Īutomating them would require more expertise than I can provide. When you switch to the open port, the devices connected to the other port should now be disconnected and power off.
