Got the PC boards from the fab shop today, did a test build and took pictures, ran a full test. Kits will start shipping out tomorrow, just in time for the final docs and pictures to be posted on the web site.
I've only seen this with a low-voltage situation... what kind of battery were you using?
rough tested the wifi switch in carbon fiber rocket today. Aprox 1/8 in CF thickness (outer tube and inner tube total of walls) with 1/4 diameter steel rod running lengthwise, with cf endcaps and metal d-rings in place. Maximum usable distance to control on and off was about 30 feet at 100%. Locking onto the wifi signal is more of an issue- reliable wifi signal 'finding it' was 100% at 8 inches from avbay dropping off rapidly at 12 inches. Once the signal is picked up and locked onto no issues-it stays locked and you can step away with confidence to 30 feet to arm it. If I go too much further I would need to return to within 8 inches of the avbay where in seconds the link would reestablish itself and I can walk away. AMAZING! Will need to test max 'signal finding' in fiberglass where I expect results will be many times further.
I really gotta order one of these....
