Hi there,
I'm pretty new to electronics, but am working towards building my home alarm system. Before I wire it all up and leave it running 24/7 what are the best practices for checking a circuits safety?
The last thing i want to do is come home and find my house on fire
Off the top of my head i can think of:
+ Running it through software (this might tell me if anything is overloaded or dangerous?).
+ Posting a schematic on the forums and getting some one to check it over
+ Paying for a professional in real life to check it over?
Please let me know what people normally do.
Thanks!
