Touched up some of the solder joints on the module as well as some of the pads on the RF module. Also added some solder to the large tab on the voltage regulator. The amber LED still doesn't come on but the Mini is once again sending out position data. Maybe when the shrink wrap contracted it broke a connection?I had it outside and the receiver got a fix almost immediately; I waited awhile for the Mini but never got a fix. I'll look at it again tomorrow
I had one of those die on me. It was from my Arduino starter kit. I triple checked the wirimg and sketch, but the display was dead. I ordered a new one, which isn't really expensive. Then, of course, the first one got better. Oh well, no harm in having two.I waited for a fix.View attachment 411085
Funkayyyyyy!View attachment 411176 build completed
Created a list of materials to order from BMS to finalize my current 4 rockets, and to build the F-79 Lone Wolf. First time in my 59 years I've ever spent a Benjamin on rocketry.
Wow, somebody else that knows Firesign Theater (from your sig). Great group in the early days.Work continues on Nike Smoke. Drew lines on BT, glued MM in rocket and applied 3 coats CWF.

@PatD Don't crush that dwarf. Hand me a pliers.Wow, somebody else that knows Firesign Theater (from your sig). Great group in the early days.
Let us know how that goes, been curious about it since I first saw the video years ago.I saw this some time ago but I think I'm going to try it. Fun & cheap.

Yep. I think we’re all bozos on this bus.Wow, somebody else that knows Firesign Theater (from your sig). Great group in the early days.
I used to make those to. I think my flight record was 46 feet.I made these when I was a youngster probably about the same time I was fooling around with estes rockets. I used paper matches. You have to be a BAR to know what a paper match is. They were pretty unreliable; they worked about half the time. They didn't go very far either. It was fun anyway.
It needs a shower, not a bath.Today’s problem: How to wash a 66” body tube in a 48” bathtub...
All the things we can do when quarantined--a blessing in disguise!I must be really bored. I started building one from scratch. Rolled my own body tube to start it. First one was just a hair too thick, so I had to roll another one.
