Hi ALl,
I have a circuit in my computer with a thermal sensor on my cpu, and it basically has a colorful lighting effects for heat of cpu,
I want to run a 2nd program on the arduino board to control a relay once hitting X Temperature...
Basically I want to FORCEFULLY Shutdown (in case of Overheat) such as pump stop etc..
The Idea I have is to route one of these
16, PSU_ON or
8, Power Good
to a relay when relay switches ON, disconnecting that signal wire, thus shutting down.
Ignoring the possible data corruption etc...
I could design a 4 second relay to trigger a shutdown command but computer may hang on shutdown etc..
I am thinking when i'm away I want this to be automatic!
Would you think this is a Safe way to go? I wouldn't hurt the power supply by doing this?
