My First Mod - USB passthrough switch

[mottlycrw]

Well I made my first mod, not because I wanted to tinker, but because I HAD to. My USB passthrough broke in a bad way. It will not turn off!! My atomizer dam near burned my fingers! I figure the pressure switch went bad. Well I can't be without my passthough, especially after I just bought my Kensington USB power box (which by the way, works FANTASTIC). So I went to Radio Shack and bought a project box, and a momentary switch, and threw this baby together. My wife says it looks like a bomb detonator, so I am officially calling this "THE DETONATOR". Works like a charm.

Oops! Detonator has already been taken by D_Struct. You need a new name. That said, great solution to your problem. It looks easy to operate and fix if something breaks.

You shouldn't have any problems with burning out that switch by the look of it.

I like it allot.

Very nice!!!! Wouldn`t advise taking this to the airport though!!!

 

[mottlycrw]

Yeah, I think the airport security would freak on this one...lol

It would definitely produce an interesting image on the X-ray.

That setup looks kinda familiar -

The Kensington pack works like dream, doesn't it? Too bad about your pressure switch crapping out. If it didn't you could do my mod. Well, you still can, really - you just need to figure out a way to mount a switch onto my setup.
