Customer #442670 on PowerCell Quickstart Guide

Is that OK to leave the battery attached to the project while charging or is it necessary to remove the battery and place it on a safe surface before charging? Thanks

Customer #325766 on COM-11694 - Silicon Nitride Igniter - 12V

Way too expensive relative to the likely uses you’ll get out of it. Use a model rocket igniter instead, way cheaper.

It shouldn’t be shorted, but there is a 33 ohm heater in there; it will draw 150mA at 5V.

diz on PRT-00114 - Breadboard Power Supply 5V/3.3V

I replaced the one in the kit with an opaque red one I had in a bundle of LEDs from radio shack. It’s much less intense and I still got to use the 330 ohm resistor in the kit.
