Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a controller, a main power source, an electrical converter configured to receive a first electrical signal from the main power source, and a capacitor electrically connected to the electrical converter. The apparatus also has an electrical selector switch electrically connected to at least one of the electrical converter and the capacitor, an electrical driver electrically connected to the electrical selector switch, at least one electrical output component electrically connected to the electrical driver, and at least one electrical component that is configured to receive a second electrical signal via the at least one electrical output component. The controller controls an operation of the at least one electrical component based on the second electrical signal, independently of control of the first electrical signal.
