I wanted to make a Launch Controller for model rockets with a bit more power than the generic 6v Estes so i could launch rockets with multiple engines etc. It took be a bit of trial and error and multiple revisions until i got a layout that was functional and fun to use.
Theres just something about turning a key and a series of switches that makes launching model rockets a bit more fun. The Container box is modified from another thingi (i just went through a couple hundred pages trying to find it to properly flag it as a remix, so i will edit this once i find that Item). I modified the container box itself by making a couple of holes in specific locations and notched out the lid portion to ensure clearance of the Components box.
The Components box i made from scratch. initially i made it to fit a 4 pack of 18650 batteries but decided to throttle it back to 3 so i could run my 12v LED's without resistors to simplify things a bit. There is a recessed portion to mount
