New 3D rocket "skin" added to virtual display
Got the basic 3D rocket drawing in Processing working. Seems acceptable to me, with different colored fins to help see rotation. Also added in the wireless XBee transceivers. These only required a couple tiny changes in the code to make them work. Much easier than I anticipated (I have never used XBee's).
I did notice there is a cheaper XBee that transmits further, on less power. They also accept external antenna's. So I have put in an order for a pair. It is the XBee Pro S2C, and it's supposed to be good for two miles line of sight.
The large dark blue cylinder I'm holding is just an external usb batter pack. The battery I'll use for the rocket will be much more compact.
