Re: Things that new members need to know about electronics

I agree with the Crimping lessons, these are easy to do poorly and that will cause problems.

I also agree with Al about wiring neatness, a rats nest is impossible to troubleshoot, tight wires fail, and sloppy work is inexcusable. Make it look like a work of art.

I would also emphasize battery safety and the need to keep them charged. There are some threads on this from earlier this year that you can search for.

Don
