Re: Legal to use solenoid breakout as a source of power?
R51 along with table 4-4 control what can be connected to the solenoid breakout board. R69 controls the total load for the solenoid breakout. The definition of custom circuit seems to cover photo switches. If the photo switch is a custom circuit & the total load on the solenoid breakout is under R69 the answer would be yes. Otherwise no.
