I really *MUST* throw my oar in here ... If you know what you're doing with
circuits and electronics (and electricity) then the information on these
pages is usefull. However for those who *DON'T* know what they're doing
then
to go delving into modules ignorantly is likely to involve at best the
popping of a few RCDs ... Hopefully nothing more.

Ian's suggestion of not f*cking with LM12 and AM12 modules and just using
LD11/AD10 modules instead is sound and the best option to stop people
without electronics knowledge frying their asses accidentally.

Has anyone considered the consequences of modifying modules and a modified
module either setting light to a house or killing someone...
