Hi All,

This is an on-going project that do not have a clear finish date.
Most of it is think through aside the connections for the Battery & Ignitor extension. (most probably banana plugs)

Not being a programmer myself, here is a few iteration of the firmware...





Some milling of the box faceplate...



I created a GitHub for the code and it's not 100% clean at the moment so sorry about it.

To make wiring a bit easier, i've made a PCB as well but i made a mistake in the mounting hole dimensions. It doesn't fit the box pegs but i will find a solution.

I don't see a removable safety interlock. Required to be in series with the launch switch by the safety codes.

Totally right, the only safe is the switch that cut the power to the launch.
However i could add a set of two banana on the back which require a short wire to JUMP the power. That would cut it and ack like a switch.
