UPDATE 7\/25\/2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New kits now have all the 0805 SMT resistors pre-installed on the PCB. Making assembly much easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE 5\/11\/2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve received all the parts necessary to build more kits and they are now available again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please visit my store if you would like to buy a Pi-KVM ATX Controller kit.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are my ebay listing if you would rather use ebay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pi-KVM<\/a> is a wonderful and fully functional KVM that runs on the Raspberry PI. However, to fully utilize the remote ON\/OFF\/REBOOT feature of Pi-KVM, you’ll need to breadboard your own ATC controller<\/a>. I have created a custom PCB<\/a> so that you don’t need to use a breadboard. It also has the added advantage of being more compact and secure. You can purchase the kit here<\/a> that includes the PCB and all the components necessary to assemble your own ATX controller board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
