Homebrew Is it possible to use an arduino as a payload pusher?

Is it possible to use an arduino uno, micro, etc as a payload pusher, to the switch for RCM?

 

[Jayro]

I don't see why not, the payloads aren't big at all.

Power might be an issue, I presume the switch wont provide power given that all the dongles I've seen are powered by batteries/capacitors.

Separate battery powered would not be a problem, and yes payloads are small, but prob still need sd card slot/shield to store payload, Really not sure if usb from arduino to usb-c switch would communicate/ work

Oh shouldn't even bother tho, by time got all the materials, arduino w sd card slot, battery, usb to usb-c cable - I could just buy a RCMLoader for alot cheaper for $20 ebay, was a thought tho

I had that concept idea once, but it would take a lot of development
