As I mentioned right at the beginning of the project, this project is for my own…….entertainment really. Yes, it will benefit my RC club and possibly other RC clubs, but it’s a way for me to learn electronics and programming (again) whilst producing something meaningful. It’s not a commercial project as I have a full-time job, so with that in mind, I’m putting the project on Github which serves as a repository for the code, as well as a way to maintain version control as the project develops. It also enables other interested developers to develop their own versions and collaborate with me if they so wish.
The project still has some way to go, from my own mind here are just some of the things I want to do:
- Design and make several types of timing display
- A handheld timing display using a 4-digit 7-segment display
- A small timing display utilising several 8 x 32 LED matrix displays
- A large timing display utilising several large 7-segment displays
- Design and make the start/gantry lights display
Anyway, here’s the link to the project on Github:
