ATX SHUTDOWN CONTROLLER

This Circuit is intended for ATX type motherboards only:

This plan was originally designed by Jeff Mucha, I just built the first prototype.

Now he is making these at limited quantity and selling them for $23. It' much smaller and better quality than mine :)

 MY CONTROLLER

JEFF'S CONTROLLER

SETUP:

First in WinMe or W2k go to control panel -> power options and set the computer to shutdown or hibernate when power button is pressed.

When you turn off the car  the computer waits whatever time (C1 and R1)

then sends an atx power pulse for whatever time ( C2 and R2) telling WinMe to

hibernate or shutdown. After some time (C3 and R3) the relay cuts power to the PSU or inverter.

If during the first delay you happen to turn the car back on, nothing happens.

If car is off and you press the momentary switch, car will go into immediate shutdown or hibernation.

If car is on, the momentary switch acts like the computer power switch without cutting off the power.

The main power switch is there if you don't want the computer to automatically turn on whenever you start the car ( for those times when you valet your car)

   D                4         1N4148    1N4148MSCT-ND   diode

   T                2          3904        2N3904-ND             NPN transistor

   IC               1          74HC14   296-1577-5-ND       Hex Schmitt Inverter 14dip

   VR              1          7805        296-11108-1-ND    5V Linear Voltage Regulator (heatsink not necessary)   

   Relay          1          any SPST or SPDT 12V 30A relay

   LED           1           any Radio Shack or Computer LED will do fine

   Resistors   2x10k ohm, 1x1k ohm, 1x3k ohm, 1x 100ohm

 For  C1 to C3 and R1 to R3:

 Figure out how much delay time you want by using  Time(seconds)  = Resistance (ohm) X Capacitance (farad)

 You can use variable resistors (pots)  to adjust the time without having to change resistors or capacitors.

Here is what I used:

 C1= 680uF   R1= 1Mohm pot      0 ~ 11.3 min (delay before telling computer to shutdown)

 C2= 27uF     R2= 200kohm pot   0 ~ 5.4 sec (ATX power switch pulse)

 C3= 680uF   R2= 200kohm pot   0 ~ 2.3 min ( delay for computer to shutdown)
