Powering the aux electronics

The 1F cap is to provide power continuity in case of a breaker glitch. The 6 ohm resistor limits inrush current when the main power is applied. The first diode prevents power from the 1F capacitor from feeding back into the rest of the system. The LED indicates the aux electronics is powered. The 220 ohm resistor discharges the 1F capacitor when the system should be powered down.
