    Do I need a normally open or closed momentary switch?

    if im reading this right, make sure it is a momentary switch so that it is only engaged when your foot is on the switch... Whale bone has a great test, but wouldn't that be the same as having no cable connected at all? my guess is a momentary normally open switch.
