Re: Where did all the magic smoke go?

we avoided the FP motors purely b/c we are highly allergic to anything related to magic: unicorns, pixies, smoke. So far, so good.

We did have some close brushes with potentially magical smoke when some freshman tried wiring the board up backwards to see what would happen. He now asks in triplicate before touching things now...
