Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to send out a update of our new product that is now complete which we call the Power Supply Controller.
What is it you ask?
This little board handles a few things for you. It has 2 screw down terminal blocks, one with 5v and the other with 12v so no more having to chop up power supplies or hooking things to the wrong voltage. It will also turn on and off the power supply using the power supply's built in power on and off function. The control software will allow you to turn it on / off with flight sim, on / off with an offset (perfect for simulating failures), on / off with the Smart Sim Tech Control Panel Software, and on / off manually. There is also a push button on the board to turn it on and off manually. The board features a 20 pin ATX connector to connect to the power supply and a USB B connector to connect to the computer. The board is self powered from the USB Bus.
The cost of the power supply controller board will be $35.00.
We are also working with a machine shop to build a bracket for the power supply. We know how tough it can be to find a place to put the power supply and there is no easy way to mount it, since they were designed for a computer, so this bracket will provide a way to mount the power supply so it wont move around and also will prove a place to mount the power supply controller board. As of now, it looks like the bracket will cost $9.00.
