A little KiCad view of a design I have been wanting to make. A web blink horse quad Triac switch. The idea is to have an AC wire coming in on the tail and that wire gets split into 4 feet wires.
The load carried by the horse in the saddle would be the triac switches. I got excited by the PCB via grids @skyguided was using and thought they would be a nice saddle heat sink.
Still gotta work out the exact shape, @alifeeney is gonna draw me a horse to make the PCB shape. Holding off to route the traces till then.
I am sure I am doing something electrically strange here. Any electrical engineers are welcome to tell me. Happy to provide a schematic.
Its gonna have a warning saying its a dangerous horse that kicks if you touch it and its plugged in. I should probably make some sort of box to at least cover the backside of the PCB.
