Power: Remove before flight key/pin - get one #7

Closed acrandal closed 2 years ago

Need to find a pin for the remove before flight power control assembly.

Assembly will be 3d printed
Holds dead man's switch internally
Needs to hold the key with at least some level of friction to ensure safe travel to the assembly/pad location
- Could use a little lever to clamp key? Not sure on this one - maybe mechEs can help :-)

The last pin that I purchased was from the hardware store. It was a pretty normal part at Ace. I'll track down another one.

I found a great pin in the switches box. It was the extra one from the ProtoSat project. I've designed and fabricated a remove before flight switch for it.
