Agreed, well executed, and good writeup throughout the project.Nice work Ersterhernd - as always!
Can't wait to see what direction you take this. Good LuckI've bought a non working 17" G5 iMac (A1058 model with back access) last week. I've only paid 16 bucks.
Currently I'm working on my own Arduino based SMC. I have the ambition for writing as much own code as possible. The backlight works so far and I'm able to control its brightness, The original fans work and can be controlled from one wire temperature sensors via the Arduino. However, the TMDS to HDMI mod is not yet done.
I will start a new thread later...
I would agree with MacTester give it a go.On another note, both you and Kiwi seem to be well onto the Arduino platform, perhaps I should break out the textbooks as well...
For me it was a simple choice, The complexity of my project requires multiple threads of execution, to control the multiple output devices. To do this the PicAxe language would have been very hard to do, and problematic to debug and maintain.
Simply controlling one or two functions in a Picaxe is perfectly fine, but doesn't scale to large projects. Remember most modern OS's are based in C, C++, So anything you learn in Arduino is transferable to many other programming situations.
A good testimonialAt the beginning I had some problems with the C++ language, but now I will never go back to the Picaxe.
