-The Aux Output is similar to the other four light outputs: it uses a 2-pin JST-PH connector and can drive an LED with the [[wiki:tcb:tcbinstall:lights|same caveats that apply to the light ports]]. As with the L1 and L2 ports, there are functions to turn the Aux Output on, off, or toggle; but it can also do more including flash, blink, or vary the brightness of a light. +The Aux Output is similar to the other four light outputs: it uses a 2-pin JST-PH connector and can drive an LED with the [[wiki:tcb:tcbinstall:lights|same caveats that apply to the light ports]].

 The Aux Output also has a flyback diode installed. A "flyback" diode protects circuitry from reverse voltage spikes that occur when an inductive load is turned off. The two types of inductive loads we may be interested in controlling from the Aux output are relays and //small// motors.  The Aux Output also has a flyback diode installed.
