Not located anywhere near the PNW but can answer some safety questions.
As long as you never work on live circuitry and connect + to + and - to - you should be safe (kind of an obvious thing to say about electronics as it’s true for most cases). And with the voltages you’re most likely working with (3V-12V) you should be safe even if you do mess up (and the voltages and currents you’re working with is where it’s important to make the distinction between safe to mess up and NOT safe to mess up).
The most damage you will do is short something and break the arduino or other circuitry you’re working with. A lot of times genuine arduinos will have short protection and be able to turn back on.
I would suggest using a different type of motor controller though such as a shield that fits on top of the arduino.
Maybe this one (cheaper) or this one (better)
PM me with any questions if you’d like and I’ll try to answer them.
