I just placed an order for a pair of Eggtimer WiFi switches for use in my 54mm diameter three stage project. The altimeter bay for the upper stage will be about 6' from the base of the first stage which could make arming via a screw switch difficult. These switches are perfect for my application.
I will be using the switch to power my AIM Xtra 2.0 altimeter which will have a 2S 1000mAh LiPo. If possible, I'd like to reserve that battery solely for the AIM and power the WiFi switch with its own 1S 400mAh LiPo. The AIM really needs its own dedicated battery as it has a significant current draw and skimming some off to power a switch would greatly reduce transmission time.
Is it possible to use the WiFi switch solely in place of a screw switch with its own dedicated battery, or does one need to run the altimeter battery through the switch?
