"Unknockable" safety switches template

[MattyB]

This EEPROM demonstrates a novel safety switch which if accidentally knocked will not change state. It can be used with any three position switch, and requires that a sequence be completed that includes change in direction of the physical switch within a given time period to activate/deactivate the desired function:

These switches are ideal for complex IC models with retracts and ignition systems where accidental activation could cause injury or damage to the model. They can also be used as throttle kills on electric fixed wing and rotary craft. For an additional layer of safety I recommend you configure them to be active only in certain flight modes as demonstrated in switches 1 and 2.
