Do you have a magnetic wallet / money clip?

@Adrian A makes amazing things!!!! I love my BlueRaven. This is just a notice. I could not figure out why my altimeter would turn itself on while I was assembling my rocket. I was getting discouraged.

I have a magnetic money clip as part of my wallet, and keep it in my front left pocket. While installing the machine screws I always laid it in my lap. While carrying it sometimes it was rubbing against my left side and pocket.

I tested it on purpose. It does turn it on and off.


Soooo long story short, keep your magnetic switches away from pockets with magnets in them.

Upside, I can always turn it on and off even if I leave the magnet at home.

I mentioned Adrian, because it might be a good data point for him to have.

In no way shape or form is this a complaint. I am very happy I figured it out.
