Re: Burnt Fuses
You are allowed to replace the fuse on the Spike with a Snap-Action circuit breaker of 20 amps (no more), the same kind used by the PD board.
You cannot use CIM or Fisher-Price motors on Spikes, they draw too much current.
The 555 and Window motors are fine for Spikes. The compressor uses one too. You should replace the fuse on the Spike for the compressor with a breaker, the starting current of the compressor is enough to cause burnt fuses.
