I've been tossing around the idea of using a push-on/push-off switch as the main power interrupt for my electronics. It would be mounted horizontally to avoid the possibility of take-off or ejection charges activating the switch. All you would need to do is stick a thin rod (preferably nonconductive) or screwdriver through the sidewall to activate/deactivate the switch.
I was a little concerned about the current being drawn through it but having seen the variety of the micro and mini switches used, I'm not sure the concern is warranted.
The electronics is an Eggtimer Quasar on a 550mAh lipo. So far just one deployment charge but I may add another as a back up.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
