Cool stuff to hook up

Cool outputs

• 12V wiper motor actuating some kind of mechanical lever (IE flying ghost, etc). This will need to be hooked up to a beefy 12V power supply through one of our 12V relays (that can handle 40 amps).
• 120V powertail. The sky is the limit here. Leaf blower, giant fan, strobe light, fog machine, hot surface igniter, tesla coil transformer, theatre lighting, water fountaim pumps, seriously anything 120V.
• Any direct drive 5V or 12V solenoids (up to 300mA, more will require running through a relay) to control pneumatics (air muscles, air cylinders, etc), liquids (fountains, squirt guns, etc), propane (don't try this at home).
