With the decision to build a MPR also came the need to buy or build a controller for composite motors/ignotors. After looking online for commercially available units and coming up short, I decided to build one to suit my needs. Who would have known I would find it on this forum! Thanks to Michael (kiliman09) for his design. I decided to modify it a little, but the basic design was borrowed from here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/showthread.php?t=2129
The box and basic component layout (inside)
Outside showing the swiches and big red button
I wanted to streamline the apperance, so I substituted the pad terminals with easy plug-in recptacles, and lighted toggle switches because they're cool
External power is provided by a 2-pin insulated pigtail that will be cut in half and spliced into 30' of 12g Zip-wire with clips to a car battery, Odessey, or equivalalent on the other end
Each pad will be connected using a standard stereo connector spliced into 30' of 16g zip-wire to flat clips at the ignitors
I still have to wire it, so more pics later. Thanks for looking and any comments are appreciated!
