**The Latching Circuitry**
43-
A Latching Circuit has 2 inputs for Positive(P) and Negative(N) signals and 1 output. Latches allows you to store the previous state of the signal that passes through either of the pins and maintains the state until you pass a new signal. Signal passed through the positive and the negative pins will also determine the direction of the signal to the valve. The Edge Control board comes with 8 pairs of Latches each labeled from 1N:1P up to 8N:8P.

Connect the red and the blue wire to `1N` and `1P` of your Edge Control board. As the valve doesn't come with internal drivers to store the state of the motor, we will use the `Latching_out` pins, instead of `Latching_out_cmd`, these are the ones that include drivers on the Edge Control.

### 3. Connecting To A Power Source

109-
The valves require a power supply of 9 - 12 V and you can either use a regular power supply or a 3 cell LiPo battery to provide the required voltage. Power sources can be connected to the relay ports on the edge control board, ensure that you have a source that can provide 9 - 12 V of power for both the valve and the board. Connect two jumper wires to the **GND** and **B** pins of the **Relay ports**.
