Hello All,
So I need a 50mw Maximum, tape-switch activated laser. The thing is, I need to be able to hack the tape switch and route control of on-off to a servo motor. Is this possible?

Thanks
-Max

Edit to clarify: This will be used in a UAV application, for visible target designation. Thanks

Not sure I know what you mean, but you can always interupt the battery supply with an external switch/push button operated by the horn of the servo....

The KD50 would be a good choice, the switch is in the tail cap, remove the switch and make a 2 wire adaptor to replace it...

The picture below shows the kind of thing but in that case I was doing away with the battery...... the principal is the same with the 2 wires going to a switch instead of a power supply.

I hope that makes sense :-/
