Decided to mess around with the electronics today as a iPhone app I'm working on has been giving me a lot of issues.

Anyway, a few days ago I sketched out how I was going to wire the electronics with 123D Circuits. This allowed me to test out my Arduino code without having to actually wire everything up. I've embedded the circuit below - sorry, it's a bit messy. (Also, the code below is a bit outdated and has some bugs - I added some communication libraries which couldn't be used on the simulator and had to move to the Arduino IDE.)

(Edit: Looks like Hackaday.io didn't like the embedded HTML despite allowing me to do it in the editor. You can view the design/code here.)

Anyway, I wired it all up, pushed the code to the Arduino, and was granted with immediate satisfaction as it all worked perfectly. I highly recommend using 123D Circuits to sketch out and test your designs/code before-hand.

Here's a photo I took while testing it. I've taken it with the lights on so you can see the color of the LEDs. Note: I did not attach the Emergency Stop switch, I was lazy and simply used a jumper to act as the switch. Also, the only breadboard I had was attached to a Parallax Demo Board...

At this point, I need to either begin writing the client software that'll interact with Mission Planner or get the control panel laser cut. It would be nice to have the panel cut as then I could solder everything together - might try and see if I can get this done soon.
