How to make iMON VFD external?
It's exact one year now since my PC died with the iMON in it. It was silent night 2007 when my PC went silent.
I just couldn't bother to fix it this time (because its power supply has been replaced already). So, I bought the Acer Aspire L3600 as my belated X’mas present.
It came of course with Vista and with MCE. A remote control was included.
As much I as I hate Vista I hate my remote control. There are simply not enough buttons. You always have to navigate through the menu in order to get to a certain feature.
Lucky, it worked with my existing tranciver. So, I didn't need change much in software.
But, there is a problem that the remote control for some reason doesn't respond reliably.
I always have to remember the good old days with iMON. One day, I just can't stand any more. So, I removed my iMON from the PC corpse.
After some researches and experiments, I found that I can branch the USB power by bridging the USB 5V (VCC) to PWR & CHECK.
Warning: DO NOT try this at home!
Finally, I need a place to house my iMON.
