It's very complicated. It would take an entire day at least to explain it to you and tell you how to put it together and if you're not an electrical engineer or something you probably still wouldn't get it. It took us 2 weeks just to do enough testing to find out we needed to build a custom standalone control module and another week to figure out how, design it, program it, test it, and install it. He studied this for over a year I think before he ever even started trying to make it work lol. I offered to help, he told me what he needed, we tried it one way and it didn't work, so he said just make it work, so I designed a control module for it basically overnight and boom, here we are. Maybe you can talk him into selling you a controller and I'll build you one.
