Hello!
I have assembled the project and loaded the firmware of latest ardurover.
Using telemetry to connect the pixhawk. I have 2 questions:
How can I make a power switch for the 12V battery to Power module?
can pixhawk power 2 pieces of 9g servos for gimball.

A power switch for the main battery is a bad idea and an additional point of failure. Current thru the switch is very high and higher with inrush. But you can check out this guys posts.

I am working on the power module system with ON / OFF switch . I can see a big need for ON / OFF switch to cut the power without disconnecting battery each time from the system, especially on big drones I noticed a spark when I plug the battery each time to the connector. To make life a little bit easier and safer I designed a High Voltage 40V, High Current 100A Power module with ON / OFF switch which cuts the power from battery completely.
Also, I added Power distribution to the sa…
You should use a separate BEC to power any servos.

Thanks. I don’t have a separate bec. I have one arduino uno. I may use it if i can power it easily.
It’s 2 tiny servos for the gimbal
