[Noisebridge-discuss] 24V control [Re: Resource for flaming things?]

[Taylor Alexander]

Yeah, thats not a bad idea. A replacement solenoid would be more expensive
than just building a boost circuit. Maybe I'll mess with that! Mostly I just
haven't put any time into the thing. As soon as I needed to spend more than
a few bucks on it I just stopped working on it.
