Project description
Code
SMARTVOLTAGER.aia
python
MIT AppInventor2 app for commanding the device
Buttons for power supply
arduino
Just a simple code to turn on and off the power supply with a single button. It also uses the HM-10 BLE module interfaced with an app made via MIT AppInventor2.

Schematic of the circuit
The computer power supply provides a wire (purple one) that is constantly at 5V. This channel, with a ground wire, can be soldered into a usb-b cable to power the arduino (solder purple from power supply to red of usb-b cable and then black to black). In order to fire on the rest of the power supply channels the green wire from the power supply must be connected to a ground wire. This is done with a relay that is driven by the arduino. The button on the left turns on the power supply while the one on the right turns it off. If you are unsure what the wires from the power supply are: https://superuser.com/questions/590510/motherboard-will-not-boot
