    Understanding Inputs and Outputs for Specific Project

    I put L2 to potentially power it with the second outlet plug, but that was with hesitation. I will absolutely look at the ground being carried to the launcher, and any other routes it may need to take prior or after. I will also be sure to talk with a licensed electrician about all aspects of...

I did a rough mock up, but it likely does not give an accurate representation, and I know it excludes many details I have...

    What ignited my love for electrical engineering?

    Hello everyone! I am new to the site, but hope to become a long time member. I have always had an interest in all of the S.T.E.M. fields, but my deep interest is in electrical engineering. I have not learned much at all yet, but I hope to really transform myself, in that regard, over the next...
