ReadyToSky Safety E-Switch for Pixhawk Flight Controller

Arming safety switch for Pixhawk-family autopilots on multirotors, VTOLs and agri drones. While the switch is active, the flight controller keeps the motor outputs disabled, so a powered-up aircraft cannot spin its props while you are still plugging in batteries or checking the payload; a press of the button releases it.

Key features

• E-Switch push button with a red light that shows the safety state
• Three-pin connector plugs straight into the autopilot
• 170 mm lead lets you mount the button on a top plate or mast, clear of the controller
• Adds a physical arming step on top of the transmitter arm command

Specifications

• Switch: E-Switch push button, red indicator light
• Cable length: 170 mm
• Connector: 3-pin, direct to the autopilot
• Compatibility: Pixhawk flight controllers
• In the box: 1 safety switch

Check that your controller has a dedicated safety-switch port with a matching plug before ordering; on many newer setups the switch lives on the GPS module instead. ArduPilot can also run without a switch by disabling the check with the BRD_SAFETY_DEFLT parameter.
