This is where I start to write descriptions about this project.

It has been going on and off since autumn 2015. I noticed that my 3-years old son likes to watch how rockes go and explode and I thought it would be fun to have some physical control board for the game. Something more "real" than a USB gamepad or flight controller that you can buy.

The project somewhat grew since this time because I bought more nad more items through Aliexpress and I found them useful to be included.

Right now the first prototype on a cardboard was proven.

It was done with Arduino Mini Pro only with USB-serial interface. It was too fragile to give a 3-yo to play with, but it proved for me that it makes sense to continue this project and gave me new ideas how to improve ergonomy.

As of today I continue work on the second prototype.

I'm going to write the code first and drill the holes in wood later.
