The Lair

Everybody is on double secret probation.

 

Especially Randall. Ever since he became a dependa, we have had to keep a close eye on him.

 

I can access tw from work now but it’s a moot point since I’m still teleworking 90% of the time.

 

I need to come up with a name for this thing.

 

The Big Tow

 

Tow-Yota

 

I was thinking something more human like but not sure yet

 

Big Bertha

Betty and Bertha

 

Pretty Baby


This one I call “VW”

 

This has some merit.

This does not but I like the creativity.

Betty White and Black Betty

Although I guess the tundie isn't exactly black

 

Bryan Paul would be my recommendation

 

That's a strong sounding name ....

 

Indeed....

 

@6 gearT444E I have a question about diodes as I've never used them. Are they only necessary on the + circuit? I want my reverse lights to trigger from the reverse circuit or from my SPOD with a strobe module inline and would use the diodes to isolate each circuit.

 

typically they are used on the positive side of the circuit as they have a ~0.6V forward bias, you will connect the anode to the positive source. You can think of it as a check valve for electronics, preventing backfeed to where you don't want current flow. Not to be confused that the electrons themselves flow from the negative terminal to the positive.

 

Awesome, that’s helpful. Thank you.

 

I have one more follow-up question about picking a diode. This one is advertised as a 45V diode but is it ok to only run 12v through it? Or is that a diode-specific thing? The lights only draw .9A each. In the reviews people say they use them on 12v systems but who knows if that's an ok thing to do.
