Ive got a question for the DIY masters out there. Im trying to gauge interest in something that I was working on (and I have since partially abandoned).
I built a module that would allow me to use a momentary pushbutton switch to switch on and off a relay for my Ham Radio.
Why a momentary button you ask? Well, I am a little OCD, and I never liked the indented button look when it is pushed "on" and wanted to have my buttons all be momentary push and perfectly in line - much like my OEM buttons. When you push the button, it has a ring-LED to show status of the relay too. Im using these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RFPKSKY
I was going to get these mass produced and was actually going to redesign the module to give it more capabilities (like having two or more switches control one relay - for example - switch in front and switch in back to control an LED bar or something)
I was thinking these could control all kinds of LED bars, ham radios, CB radios, amps, etc. I am using a 40A relay in my original design (so it is just a little bit on the large size).
Is this something anyone would be interested in?
Thinking about the parts (roughly $8), relay ($5), circuit board production ($5), pushbutton ($5) plus another $5 for stuff im not thinking of - so like $30 for the module.
Looking for any kind of input.... looking to help solve some design and functionality problems for folks!
Talk to ya,

P.S. Pictures of my buttons and a module.
