I gotta post mine sometime. I used fritzing to make a wireless one using a spektrum radio. Makes it possible to mount them to a radio controlled vehicle for scale realism

Cool would like to see Your controller! I personally will NOT use wireless. You might get a stray signal and launch the rocket when you don't want it too. lol

its dsm, or spread spectrum, so theres a lockout should your radio fail, you do have to set up the failsafe though so the default keeps it in the off position, but its all digital much like wifi so static radio waves cant trigger anything. The new version which has been sent out for fabrication has a spot for a switch to go in that can arm/disarm for added saftey when handling rockets

Hey looks great! Glad I still have my old Estes Pro Series launch controller, uses two RC car 7.5 volt batteries and has a cool row of LED's showing the power level. It also has two safeties as you put in the giant key then hold down ARM, then push the LAUNCH!
Would love to have one like yours there, looks fancy and futuristic!

very nice.
I'm in the process of making a new unit myself.
I have to ignite 5 motors at once.
My fault for building a Saturn 5 :/
