That seems like an even better/simpler way of accomplishing my goal! Right now, the pins on my motherboard that handle the reset are not in use because the 4U server chassis they're in, doesn't have a reset button so I never hooked those pins up.There's also my project that predates PiKVM and has been mostly ported to run on a picoW: https://github.com/thagrol/fakewake. The pico port currently can't ping the target PC so if you need the server to do that stick wit the Pi port.
If you don't mind, can you answer this question: (warning, I'll need EXPLICIT instructions since I'm really dumb about things like this).... If I place my Pi inside the the server chassis, what do I need (detailed parts list please Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
) to hook a couple of pins from the Pi's GPIO's pins to the 2 reset pins on my ATX board to use your Python script?Thanks!
PS If your solution can't ping to check for server availability, no big deal. If it's down when I'm away from home, I'll know it. I'm AOK with remoting into my network and accessing the Pi via SSH and typing a command to send a reset signal.
I -think- I have some female to female cables around here that will attach to the Pi's GPIO pins on one side and the motherboard's reset pings on the other.
