Hi everyone, I have been working on installing a CarPC and I am using a laptop for the main computer with a touch screen etc. I have had trouble with waking the laptop from sleep when the charger is plugged back in and it's no longer on the batteries which after some reading seems to be a limitation of the BIOS with laptops.
Now as a workaround I was hoping to use a USB mouse circuit board ( all the drivers are there to wake the laptop up with that ) but I need to simulate the button press when the cars ACC is switched. any ideas what I would need to use to do this or what I can start to search for?
My guess was a relay of sorts but it only needs to be like a pulse or something to complete the circuit and not be on all the time that the ignition is on.
I have a friend who helps me a lot with electronic stuff but he's a bit busy lately so I thought I would try to find what I need here.
Thanks in advance
