Utopia Talk / Politics / USB solenoid?

Sam Adams Member	Mon Aug 30 09:35:07 I want one of my remote workstations to push a button for me. Anyone ever do something like this?
Dukhat Member	Mon Aug 30 10:01:53 This is why we need immigrants. To push buttons for the white master race fat ass remote working at home.
Paramount Member	Mon Aug 30 16:03:20 You don’t need immigrants anymore now that there are robots: MicroBot Push Robotic technology for any button MicroBot Push's robotic techonolgy enables pressing virtually any type of button a human can press. http://microbot.is/products/microbot-push Or maybe you can build a robotic arm of some sort. You can probably find instructions on the internet.
Habebe Member	Mon Aug 30 17:17:34 Have you looked through www.instructables.com What exactly are you trying to do?
Hrothgar Member	Mon Aug 30 17:22:01 http://robotask.com/ This app might help? Send keyboard input programmatically? Looks like you'd probably run that app on the remote workstation and configure it with what to do. No commands going over the network, it would be local based.

This is one of those easy things that I have over engineered in my head, I will be honest. I thought we needed robots! My button pushing days are over, you can bet your ass. I'm gonna program a remote control with 1 button and then when I push that button, it will push ALL the buttons I have! Muuu hahahahahaha!

Sam Adams Member	Tue Aug 31 09:30:11 "What exactly are you trying to do?" Just want one of my computers to turn on something nearby for me when i am away.
Habebe Member	Tue Sep 14 18:54:19 Ever try it out?
Sam Adams Member	Tue Sep 14 20:43:00 Not yet. Still on the backburner. Other work things take priority.
jergul large member	Wed Sep 15 05:29:57 Why would you not just leave your computer on?
Sam Adams Member	Wed Sep 15 08:31:38 Because on rare occasions there is a power outage. One machine conveniently turns itself back on... and im like maybe this one can reawaken its neighbors.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Wed Sep 15 09:22:31 Sam there is literally a button that you put over a button. Paramount posted it. It's retail, no solenoids. http://microbot.is/products/microbot-push
Sam Adams Member	Wed Sep 15 09:36:03 I do not think a microbot hub will be acceptable to security, unfortunately, because that does indeed look like the easy way to go in a normal location. A non-wifi piece added on to an already approved machine would not be a security and interference concern.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Wed Sep 15 10:55:00 Fair enough. With all button pushing wifi bandits. Who knows! :)
