Tue Aug 4 21:06:51 2009 - Decided to go with at least an upper limit switch on the flaps. The idea being that I'm going to use an On-Off-(On) switch for the flaps. The '(On)' syntax is for momentary "On"; meaning that I have to constantly push the switch down to turn it "on". This will be for lowering the flaps. On the flip side, when I raise the flaps, they'll fully retract and stop automatically via the limit switch. If I decide later on to install a deploy limit switch, I'll install it on the other side of the channel. I chose this location because all the flap related items (limit switches, motor, position sensor,and wiring) are all located in the same general area making it very easy for troubleshooting and wiring. The downside to this location is that things are pretty tight in this area especially with the adel clamps and side skins.
