DIY drop mechanism for 5 bucks

[inverted]

Hi!

I know this is an old thread but links to YouTube don't work and I'm interested in the light switch

What about it mate?

I would like to make a drone parachute and I'm interested in light swtch
There are finished drop mechanisms with light sensor switch but I don't need the whole thing but just the switch + electronics

Or, diy electronics for the parachute with automatic deployment when drone angle exceeds 80 degrees + utilising manual override with light switch
Really don't want to spend $200 for the chute

I am the guy who made that video.

I will see if I can put together a parts list and a description.

How do you turn off the lights?

Sorry, English is not my first language!
I'm not trying to find where to switch front lights on and off on the controller
I'm trying to get hold on the light sensor that attaches to the light on the arm and stands as a trigger/switch for the releasing mechanism
