Re: Wiring KL-5056E and KL-8070D drivers
Let's back up just a little bit to the point where you laid down electrical tape beneath the Acorn board and used rubber insulators at each screw hole. I would advise putting spacers (or screws with nuts spaced to work as spacers) to lift the Acorn to a safe height (at least 3/8th inch between the ...

Wiring KL-5056E and KL-8070D drivers
