Default Toasty relays

Folks,

I'm using 2 Infinity stick grips and the trim relay board from Inifinity as well.

Planning on wiring all stick switch functions in parallel and ganging the grounds from the rear stick to a disable switch as they recommend.

I'm concerned that if the flap switch on the rear grip is left in the up position and one should flip the front stick flap down switch that the opposite electrical inputs would fry the relays on the trim board. Or if opposite trim inputs will fry them. Same idea.

Anyone have a good understanding of that board, the relays and have any experience with this?

Default It shouldn't be a problem.

I have the Infinity relay board in my Rocket project. The way the board works is that there is a relay for each throw - one for UP and another for DOWN. The motor only runs if one relay is energized. Contradictory inputs cause the motor to stop until one input or the other is released.

You won't fry anything if you wire your inputs the way that Infinity suggests.
