I built a redundant DD set up for my RW Formula 98 using a Stratologger as the primary event controller and a RRC3 performing as back-up, I have both altimeters wired to a single four pole, common rotary type switch. -

I soldered all four attachment points to ensure no wire wiggle during flight could short any of the wires. I have used this setup only once for my L2 and all 4 ejection charges fired as intended, so I know it is possible, but I am not sure if it is advisable. I did all ground testing with one altimeter at a time operating, but verified both units could function simultaneously. The main reason for asking the question is I was unable to collect the data from the RRC3 even though it performed nominally, and I am grasping for straws as to why the data became somehow corrupted and ultimately unretrievable.
Any ideas/suggestions are much appreciated!
