The JSON to Python to PyKSP to Telemachus to Kerbal Space Program section is functionally complete. I am able to take canned JSON input and feed it all the way to KSP and take data from KSP and read it to the screen.

The Arduino section remains a work in progress. Much of the classes needed are complete — this included Pin, LockedInput and Joy. These are responsible for polling hardware and getting the values and abstracting some of the minutia so that the general sketch can remain fairly free of this. Hopefully this will make it easier for others to reuse the code.

I originally did the shield using conductive paint, but that has proven less than reliable. Fortunately it was water soluble so I was able to wash it off and start over. I am in the process of redoing the board and soldering everything, but I have a cheap soldering iron and am not the best at soldering in general, so it is slow going.

With a recent cash infusion from Christmas, I've been able to buy the next round of equipment needed, so I should be able to start making progress on the displays. These will need classes to wrap functionality as well.

Everything is currently in a shoebox for testing, but eventually I'd like to make a console something like this. I'd like it to remain desk sized at very least.
