Kerbal Space Program Control Panel

The physical control board is mostly completed, just have to add some sort of backing plate to cover the electronics. Pictures will be up soon. The code is working great but I still haven't implemented script activation yet.

For my board to work it has to have access to more than the default 10 Action Groups (groups of parts that can be activated from my panel) so I found a mod that extends this limit to 250. But, for it to work with Telemachus I had to go through the Telemachus source code and find where the developer had the inputs from the API. After working on it for a couple hours it built successfully and worked perfectly with KSP.

All the code I will be developing will be pushed to my GitHub repository and is free to use. 

I have just finished an autopilot script that can successfully go from launchpad to safe landing on the Moon to reentry all automatically. I will be splitting it up into modules that will be independent from each other and with changeable parameters via the Arduino keypad.  

I have a small power regulator board I put together that will be able to supply 5V to the components and Arduino but I will need a 3.3V regulator for the RasPi. There would be a barrel jack connector on the board that would power the regulators. If I have the time and money I might add a battery in the enclosure that would last a few hours and then require plugging in to charge.

For the enclosure, I was planning on having cut 1x6s along the edges of the panel. I would like the entire thing to be made of wood, as it is durable and can easily be spray painted. It will probably be mostly black but I may change my mind depending on how it looks with the components installed. For the backing, I am planning on having an acrylic or plastic transparent sheet that will be magnetically attached to the back of the box. 

First thing is to find all the parts I need for the hardware. I already have a cart going on SparkFun with most of the things I need, but I may need some components from other stores.
