Hey gang,
I am trying to figure out a solution to a small problem i have.. and it is probably really simple, especially to you guys.
I want to be able to power on a series of monitors and then a PC, with a small delay, by turning the main power switch on.
To give a better understanding... I will have 120 volt power coming into the box. This will go to a splitter, or surge suppresor.. In that will be 3 monitors and a computer. The monitors do not remember their power state, so I will wire all three monitor's power switches to a single momentary switch, or something along those lines. Then the PC will also need a momentary switch to power it on..
What I would like to do, is have a single switch on the 120V line coming in... And have it so that when I flip that switch, it will send the signal to the three monitors to power on and then 3-5 seconds later, send the signal to the PC to power on.
I have a feeling that this is actually very simple and could be achieved with a relay, but I am having a hard time figuring out how. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
Thanks,
Randy
