BTW: how old do you have to be in the US to have a drivers license?? I have one year to wait till i'm 16.
16 here as well. I think that the age varies from state to state though.
I would suggest that a relay would be more suitable than an SCR, and is more in keeping with car technology (and removes any PSU noise and spike problems). For that matter, why not just have a hidden toggle switch?.
1. A toggle switch would be a bit of a pain because I would have to remember to turn it off each time I get out of the car. With my idea all I would have to do would be to press the tiny pushbutton switch and I would be good to go.
Why the SCR instead of a relay? I dunno, I guess I just like the idea of an SCR better 8)
EDIT: One question that I forgot to ask: Do I need chokes on both sides? + and - ??
