WHO would like for a "starter" cirquit for Prometeia Mach1???

[hipro5]

As we all know,Prometeia Mach1 is NOT capable of starting our computer properly.......As a matter of fact it doesn't even work.....ONLY a few mobos can suport that(ex. EPOX 4PCA3+)

Now who wants a designed circuit giving it free for the public to solve this problem once and for all???...You will NOT have to put a second PSU(some of you have done) so as to feed the Prometeia first.......It is very simple and you can do it by your self (if you know some things about electronics and soldering things) OR you can give the circuit to a repairing TV technician of your neighbour so as to do it for you...

It is working with ALL mobos out there......

Let's see........

sounds awesome!

Hipro is there anything you can't do?

you can truely do amazing things hipro!

i'm still waiting for the DDR maximizer,
so i don't have get out of my chair and mod my mobo

Yea.......A lot of things.......

[morbidj]

That would Rock Hipro, man keep up the good work.

[bias_hjorth]

YES YES.. would be awesome! Could it be designed so it´ll startup with a variable delay that you could choose uself..

[hipro5]

Yes it could.........

[hipro5]

OK.........10 votes is OK for me so far.............I design it in no time (bam-bam as we say here in Hellas).......

Take it.......



COMPONENTS :

IC1 = LM555

RESISTORS :

R1 = 100 KOhms
R2 = 25 turns trimmer of 1 MOhm
R3 = 15 KOhms
R4 = 2.7 KOhms
R5 = 560 Ohms

CAPACITORS :

C1,4,5,6 = 100 nF/25Volts(or above)
C7 = 2.2 uF/25Volts
C2,8 = 100 uF/25Volts
C3 = 1000 uF/25Volts


D1,2,3 = 1N4002(1Amp diodes)


RELE's = 12VDC(coil) - that can handle 1Amp(for "secure" rele's reasons)....

T1 = BC546C (or equiv.)

JP1,2,3 = Dual Pinheads male......


Before we put it into out rig (computer) we check it if it works properly and for trimming reasons...

Before we start we HAVE to "Short-circuit" the "JP3" so as the timmer (LM555 - IC1) start working - this is done by "closing" the T1 (BC546) transistor circuit to the rele "K2" and feeds the IC1 with voltage...

The LM 555 works as a timer...We trim the R2 so as to get 1.5 sec time on RELE "K1"...We will hear a "tic - tic" low noise coming from that rele...REMEMBER that to start working the IC1, we HAVE to short circuit the JP3...

Now imagine that we have it on our Prometeia Mach1...Prometeia's "reset" is already short circuited by default...When Prommy reaches the proper temperature (subzero), it "releases" it's reset pins' to an "open circuit"...When this happens, T1 will be "on" and CUT the IC1's Voltage so as NOT to "give" any other resets on the motherboard...You can now reset your mobo as usual....

Feel free to ask anything ........

P.S. Sorry about my English technical spelling.....

555 monostable... wow. Nice and simple job mate!

Very very very nice job. You use eagle?

Yes.........Thank you.......

[bias_hjorth]

wow that went fast.. If I only had the skills and part to built it

[echow87]

totally confused just by looking at the pic...

mind producing these and sell em?

edit: looks like the board inside the mach...how about modding the boards for a fee ?

Not intented to prodused and sell them......Too much work to do already......Take the cirquit and go to someone who knows about that so as to make it for you......

[Hell-Fire]

Very nice circuit work hipro.

[enzoR]

how about a sticky?

Thanks Hell-Fire........

.......till everyone out there with Mach1's could make it .......

[bias_hjorth]

I vote for sticky..
We circuit noobs gotta have time to do this

[Hell-Fire]

Consider it stuck gents.

[hipro5]

Sticky for now........Well...Thanks a lot.....

Now.......HOW about design for you AND the PCB so as I can do your life easier???.......

[tennvols_69]

can you design a circuit for us custom direct die guys thats like the prommys as i hate having to wait by my comp for it to cool then turn on. and it would be nice to have auto shutdown if temp goes to high.please hipro5 it would be much appericeated by me and many im sure.

You could find a lot of those with double relays built in as was the Prommie Mach1..........

Very cool hipro,

Has anyone make this yet? Just wanted some results before I attempt one It is annoying to go thu all the steps now when powering up/down.

DON'T worry .......It works like a charm.....I've builted 5 off them already.......It has been tested a LOOOOONNNGGGG time ago......

I'm just now publishing it......

[Think]

Wow..great job. I wonder who I can call to build it for me in Toronto?
