Multi-Rocket Launch Controller

Old school esthetics, kid exciting model rocket launch controller

Similar projects worth following
My son's Beaver Scout troop (5-8yr olds) was doing a model rocket launch, that was scrubbed because the Estes launch controller and ignitors were just not powerful enough.

Digging around at my local hacker space, I came up with some parts to make something with more power and more pizzaz.

An old ac voltage adjuster provides the case, and a 10-position selector switch. 2 6v lead acid gel cells for plenty of power, and laser cut panels will provide the rest.

First go at the laser cut pattern for the box. It's large enough to hold 2 6v gel cells (5x10x15cm each)

I had to give up on the old case for the autotransformer - it was just too small.
