Re: Victor turning on and off under load, with non-IFI microcontroller

The two motors are a big CIM under a fairly small load, and a window motor under no-load. Both exhibit the same behavior, even with a bigger battery. I also have the microcontroller running under...

Re: What do you wish you had known when starting college?

1. Go to class. At the very least, go to the first class, and get the syllabus / make friends with someone who will let you know if anything changes. It might just be an intro course that you know...
