I tinker/build as a way to relax and coding seems like torture. Tip of the proverbial hat to you for doing AND then sharing! The coding is a tough puzzle that has its reward at the end. Yeah getting over road blocks and being stuck with a problem for days on end was not fun. I'm happy to share!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hmmm, now that's VERY cool! I'm not very good with electronics though. Pretty much just Eyes, Vintage Aircraft rebuilding and Model planes is my limit! I wonder what it might be like in my Brit Toom? Although I am doing it back home at Leuchars after chasing Bears with the para pack door open, probe extended and crew just exited. I will definitely follow with interest!

Cheers Anthony If I am successful in this endeavor I can easily make a product line for various models. Tailored lighting kits for just about any aircraft type. All the modeler would have to do is install fiber light tubes in the model route them to a base that houses the control board with a USB power connection or internal battery and run the app. It would mean more modification but the control board could be installed in the model too.

You make that sound quite easy. I like the idea of using an App on my phone too. I shall watch with interest! Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Finally an update. This project is about to get moving again. After months of on and off work I finally learned enough code to get my app to talk to my micro controller. As of now I have one switch and the throttles successfully sending data to the micro controller, and turning on a neopixel multi-color LED. Several more neopixels and a sound board will added and I still need to write up some animations to make the lights and sounds all function properly. I predict this to be much easier task. Then I'll hard wire everything up and get the model going again. BTW there is no sound in the video except for the TV in the background. Thanks for watching. Timmy!

Very cool project, are you doing this open source? I would love to contribute to the app or services code Edited June 2, 2022 by Neo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
