timed momentary swtiches
My knowledge of electronics is very basic and fundamental, so correct me if I'm wrong.
My idea really only applies to boards with momentary switches.
Wouldn't adding a fairly high uF (not high voltage) capacitor coming off the + switch lead, make it so you had to hold the switch down for a few seconds before the board would power on?
This would completely eliminate the need for "latches", guards, and all sorts of accident prevention.

I suppose I should have specified that the question was more with momentary economy boards in mind.
I think I finally worked out what I'm doing for my activation switch anyway, but as a future reference I was curious.
Thanks for the very informative reply anyway though.
It'll help a lot for when I have more money to dedicate to the hobby.
