OK, so we have those rotary switches (typically labeled 110v / 220v)
We have those screw switches which is a screw mounted to a PCB
We have various methods of the typical slider switch, with various ways to pull/push on/off (and a new start-up who has some lovely 3D printed sleds)
Magnetic switches.. (And a magnet you keep in your pocket all day, then realize your hotel room key has just been wiped..)
key switches, which can be big & bulky
and the old wires thru a vent hole & twisted together.
Preferences? Sources? Pitfalls? Mountings?
some back story:
I'm a recent L2,and am getting into all this "Dual deploy" and other fun electronics we have in our hobby. (read: learning a lot!!) Are there preferences? Are there likes & dislikes?
I am a fan of simplicity, and have done the twisted wires thru a vent hole, with a bit of tape to ensure they stay twisted. A good friend, also a rocketeer, prefers a proper switch & other gadgets. (and, to be honest, I think we all think highly of someone who has all the 'remove before flight' tags hanging off a rocket (or plane..))
