Never forget yer flyback diodes on an inductive load. Some guys blew out two access control panels before I went in to check it out for myself.

I repair farming equipment for a living. This is the mainboard module (two PCBs in a sandwich) for a portable, industrial, scale that had serious corrosion issues due to battery neglection (ie. it leaked).
