Hello Yukon,

Thank you for sharing your hard work. I think I found you also on Thingiverse.

No problem! Also yes I am in Thingiverse so it probably was me

Looks good (except that silkscreen graphic of the dog) Who is doing your PCB fab?

Thank you! I can make a version with a cat in it for the cat lovers if you want. My sister likes cats more than dogs so maybe I could ask her to deisgn the graphic since she is a artist. Anyway I used JLCPCB

Looks good and yes, you'd sell a TON more if there was a nice cat to grace the silkscreen.

OK, what does what? What is the servo section for. Likewise the clamp. And I assume the pyro goes to the ignitor. Do you have a wiring diagram? Oh, put a Dog & a cat on them. That should keep everone happy.

You get the pcbs made then solder on the components. More details are to come in a tutorial video . It's for controlling advanced launch pads. I'm targeting a section of rocketeers like myself who over engineer their launch pad and put a ton of servos (to unglug unbilicals, retract clamps etc.) So it give yoh the whole package. LED outputs are for the pad staus LEDs. Basically a launch computer for over engineered model rocket launch pads...
