if you connect a 3-wire cable to one digital output, this will force the FWD side of the spike to the on-state. the REV side will still be controlled.
this is the simplest connection. to control both sides, you need to construct a custom cable. now we get complex.
two connectors on the EDU must be spliced according to the IFI document into a single connector on the spike.
so can you get by with half of a spike?

I just want it to simply light up a light bulb or something like that. I'm programming it and I'm not the best electrician. How would I wire it for that situation?
