Auto click mouse - not program but mechanical.

Can you help me with ideas? Some thing to press bottom with time.

>engineers bored

>> No.352777

Solenoid + 555.
Or solder directly to the buttons. Or use suitable software.

>> No.352780

put a piston in and link it up to a redstone repeater

>bottom closes the circuit

open and close circuit with time.

what is the name of that switch that change with temperature? ( picture related ) does it works? how can i regulate time?

Software is easy, use SendInput()

Hardware, use a 555 and a reed relay (cheap) or solid state relay (fast).

>pull out ribbon cable from main pcb in picture
>hook up a relay going across the terminals for that button
>hook up arduino/other microcontroller
>set up a simple flash circuit connected to relay with trimpot to change timings
>turn on
Or something like that
Chances are this will knacker the relay and/or mouse, and is definitely not a long-term investment.

remove the contact thingy, replace wires, sodder, insulate. done,

What do you mean by mechanical?

A 555 circuit that fires as long as the button is held down is what I'd use.

your "request" is completely obscure. wtf you talking about. you could try using a whole paragraph.

there are things VASTLY SIMPLER than a fuctard 19th century relay. MOSFETs for CD, or SSR modules (solid state relays) for AC. insanely superior in all ways. then there's all the nice chips like so-called "high side drivers" which are a 5-pin TO-220 with fat MOSFET, commutator diodes, all the driving logic, overload/overthem protect and feedback, etc. You can use them as a 3-pin "perfect" relay or perfect power transistor.

555 still lives, somehow, but get a CMOS one and drive a MOSFET.

that's all 00's shit. 8-pin uP and a MOSFET will play a fucking song in the real estate of a 555 alone.

If you're using a micro, what the fuck do you even need an extra transistor for? And the 555 still has the extra advantage of not having to be programmed.

>> No.353416

Why the hell would you need to bother with a microcontroller and transistor biasing to control something as simple as repetitive clicking? That's like trying to peel an orange with a chainsaw.

555s are popular because they work, they're cheap, they're simple, and they require almost no knowledge of electrical. OP wants to retrofit a mouse to click. This is not precision engineering, buddy.

Uh no, they're popular because for decades they were the best if not the only option, but not anymore.

Back in my Amiga days, I built autofires for my joysticks with 555's. I built mine directly into the joysticks, but the alternative was an inline DB9 adapter.

how bout photoresistor and a spinning perorated disk with a lightsource behind it?
