Re: UCS Millennium Falcon Engine Lights Issue - One Side Lights First
@Chris Dee Sounds like the system is interpreting your "short press" of the "A" button as a "long press"-- a long press turns the main power on and off. Maybe try pressing a bit quicker.

Re: Max current for horizontal power connectors
@Blake Foster Ah, ok, so cool that you are still iterating on the incredible NH builds. For the motor, yes, definitely a flyback diode would be necessary. Keep us posted on your progress!
