Description

The ReadyToSky Safety E-Switch is a critical safety component for UAVs utilizing Pixhawk-series flight controllers. It functions as an electronic arming switch, allowing the pilot to safely enable or disable motor power remotely. This prevents accidental motor spin-up during ground handling or maintenance. The switch is designed to handle the high current demands of multirotor and fixed-wing systems while minimizing sparking at the battery connector, which prolongs the life of your power connectors.

Its integrated red LED provides clear visual feedback of the switch’s state, confirming whether the system is armed or disarmed. The unit is constructed to be both durable and lightweight, ensuring reliability without adding significant mass to the airframe. It connects directly to the autopilot via a standard three-position connector, making it compatible with a wide range of Pixhawk variants and clones.

Key Features

  • Mandatory safety component for Pixhawk autopilot systems, enabling remote motor arming/disarming.
  • Designed for 2-6S LiPo input voltage range (8.4V to 25.2V), compatible with most UAV power systems.
  • High-current rated switch mechanism ensures reliable power switching under load.
  • Low-spark design protects battery and power connector contacts from arcing damage.
  • Integrated red LED provides immediate visual status indication of the switch state.
  • Lightweight and compact form factor minimizes impact on the vehicle's center of gravity and weight budget.
  • Standard three-position connector ensures direct plug-and-play compatibility with Pixhawk flight controllers.

Applications

  • Safety arming switch for multirotor drones built with Pixhawk 1, 2, 4, or 6X flight controllers.
  • Remote power control for fixed-wing UAVs utilizing ArduPilot or PX4 firmware on Pixhawk hardware.
  • Essential safety component for heavy-lift, mapping, and agricultural drones requiring reliable motor disarming.
  • Integration into custom rover or boat RC projects using a Pixhawk for autonomous navigation.
