USB Timer
I need to stack charge a USB device I have. That means plugging it in to a USB port or wall charger for no more than 2 minutes then taking in out and repeating this over and over again.
I may need to this MANY - MANY times.
Has anyone any ideas to automate this?
Is there any freeware, shareware or script I could use that would turn on / off my USB port for say 2 minutes on 30 seconds off for a certain number of times?
I could do this on Windows XP (my preference) or Window 7 or a friend’s Raspberry Pie.
Many thanks in advance.
Happy Christmas

I have been looking at wall outlet timers as well. Seems to be an option.
A software solution is my preference as I could just set it to run at intravels all night.
But will look in to gettting a phyicial one after Christmas if there is no other option. The ones we have around the hourse are all old fashioned 15 min intravels.
Many thanks.

Hi Joe,
I ended up buying a digital timer. Setting for 20 programs and then resetting the time so the program would run again and over and over again. No a meg out of the tablet.
I feel the NirSoft's (free!) utility was the answer but abit outside my coding ability.
Many thanks.

Looks like it has a minimum ontime of 1 minute.
Has a max of 24 on/off cycles you can program (per week). Is that enough?
