Snuck into the garage earlier today for a small bit of soldering time, and got #BalloonBox put together. Loaded on an Arduino blink sketch to make sure things were a-okay, and we're off to the races. Now I need to get the switches all configured in MobiFlight for flight simulator and build an enclosure.
Getting close to finished on the design of my first #arduino powered PCB. Will send off to manufacture in a few days.
This will be a custom button box for balloon flying in #msfs with #MobiFlight.
I'll post more progress under #BalloonBox
My little electronics projects have always been a tangle of wires, soldered and stuffed into boxes. One of my 2025 goals is to learn how to design and manufacture a few custom electronic PCBs. I'm spending a lot of time in the Fritzing docs and forums. Starting simple, here's a rough component layout draft for my ballooning button box for Flight Sim,
Built a silly button box prototype with #MobiFlight for #MSFS2024. Now I can easily fly balloons, and it's a super chill experience in VR!

Trying a bunch of new stuff here. First upload to a new #PeerTube instance I set up for myself through @fedihost.
