Hi,

I have this fan for my laptop.
This use the 5volt of the USB2.0 port.

Now I want make a application with a button start and button stop.
If I press stop, the fan must stop, and if I press start the fan must start!

But is this possible to make this with AutoITscript?

Greetz,

well, you can disable a usb host controller with windows device manager. This will also shut down the power supply for that port. If that works, you'll "just" have to figure out how to do it with AutoIT

If disabling the host controller will cut power, then you can use the command line "devcon.exe disable [device parameters]" to disable from batch or autoit.

Very nice! A real "must have" tool.

I tested it, and it disables the USB port where my mouse is plugged in. HOWEVER, it does not shut down the power supply! So, unfortunately it is no help for the fan problem and I'm not even sure if it would be possible to shut down the power supply. @YoseMite: Try to google for that...

If it is listed you can use

RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll

and disable it with a script.
Maybe try deveject.exe from german c't magazine

Usage: deveject.exe -EjectDrive:<Drive>|-EjectName:<Name>|-EjectId:<DeviceId> [-v] [-Debug]
