Hey all,
I'm fairly new to rocketry still but I've been working with electronics for years with rc aircraft and other hobbies I have. I've already converted my electron beam to wireless using an eBay 315mhz remote switch but it doesn't work the best and it's missing a few features I'm planning on implementing.
I want my launch control v2 to have a readily visible continuity check that I can see at the pad from where I'm standing to launch. My plan is to use channel 1 on the remote switch to apply power to the igniter in series with the coil of a relay. This would be protected with a low current (0.25A?) quick blow fuse for safety as well.
I believe most who have a continuity check of some form or another use a lower voltage as well as low current to ensure the igniter isn't lit, I just want to check with those who know, would 12v in series with a relay coil be safe to do?
Thanks
