I'm just after testing this on the quadcopter and it seems to be working.

It also starts to address #175 When the quadcopter is killed all the switches need to be correct and the throttle down to un-kill it. think we just need to add a Timmer in to solve #175 properly

@jamie-54 Brilliant! If it works, let's merge this one.

@jamie-54 regarding #175, I guess you'll do this in Python. You want to count about 3s and the accuracy isn't too important. You just need to store in memory a timestamp of the last time the kill switch was flipped and use something like

import time
time_since_killed = time_killed - time.time()
if time_since_killed >= 3:
   # cannot unkill directly...

I've tested and the current version works on the quadcopter
