Because under really heavy vibration it would be theoretically possible for a button to change states in either direction. Just harder for it to go from unpushed to pushed, because it takes more energy.

This is where I can’t give you a clear answer. I don’t own one to know.
Hmm, I see. That makes me realize a potential flaw in my idea. If the button is not latched, then the only thing holding the circuit closed is the spring pressure. Even if the vibrations/bumps are not strong enough to make the switch change state, it might be strong enough to momentarily break contact with the NC contact.
Something to test for, I suppose!
Because you don’t want a shallow throw making it too easy to cut power.

Last bit of business before I button everything up…
How to wire this thing up to the DV6?
The DV6 came with a bunch of cables, and I’m sure the right one is in there somewhere, but I don’t know which one it is. Plus, there is a connector on only one end…I thought I was done with the soldering part ;(
And lastly, how does one bind to this? The trigger remote does have a bind button, so that part is self-explanatory… but how do I tell the receiver I am looking for it?

Perfect, thanks. This is ppm right? I was searching terms like ppm wiring, receiver connection, etc,

I still have no idea what this thing is though
Pwm…that’s the acronym. Ugh

For remotes, it’s PPM, but for some reason makerx decided to call it pwm from what I understand.

I’m assuming I find the cable with the correct number of pins and then…buy a similar end to attach to the bare wires at the other end?

They’re slightly different modulation methods, both are used in the RC Hobby industry so they often get lumped together/used interchangeably.

It’s actually PWM but it’s called PPM in the software.

Yeah I just googled it to sanity check myself. I only recently bumped into PPM, as PC hardware fans use PWM and that’s what im familiar with

Yep, PWM in it’s most basic form uses digital modulation to create a variable voltage output (basically duty cycle on vs off time). Simple fans and motors are often speed controlled like this.
In hobby RC receiver world it’s used a bit differently as a more precise digital control signal, with a high signal usually ranging from 500uS to 2500uS, followed by a steady 20mS low signal.
Looks like there is more than one 3-pin cable in there so I can pilfer one…
Scratch that…it’s a different connector…like the one the bind key uses…I think I have some of those somewhere.
If you need one, I have bags of them
The one you’re looking for is a red white and black jst wires. It came with the DV6.
