Week 4: Timer Switch Use (Pros versus Cons)

One issue our group is facing is how the wiring is going to be setup. We need to figure out how to run the timer using a breadboard. Some problems we may face are actually getting the timer to run and programming it run at certain periods of times. The timer runs on 120v AC and 5 Amps, we need to figure out how this is going to be put into a circuit because  it uses a lot of power which is very dangerous.
