Default RE: Return of Lunchbox..

ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer
NICE! Where did you get the pico switch?! I assume you can use that to turn on / off the light?! Is it expensive? I was thinking about using an ESC to do it, but just seems excessive...
Yes, that's what I got it for - switching the lights on and off remotely (just to use the 3rd channel for something, and it's a nice touch I guess ) - Of course I could use it for anything else running on 4.6 V, like a horn, winch or something like that.

Got the Pico directly from the manufacturer (the only possibility for me) - http://www.dimensionengineering.com/PicoSwitch.htm (they seem to be out-of-stock now, but I guess you have resellers in the US), I think it was cheap ($20.99 (less than 17 € with the current rate) delivered), and came quite fast (in less than a week).
