Arduino Launch Control System Featured on the Official Arduino Blog

As you may know, the Arduino Launch Control System (LCS) was recently submitted to the Instructables maker site (https://www.instructables.com/The-Arduino-Launch-Control-System-LCS/). This was my second Instructable that I submitted, the first being Project: Icarus (https://www.instructables.com/Project-Icarus-a-Temperature-Sensor-Model-Rocket/). Tonight, I discovered that the Arduino LCS is featured on the Official Arduino Blog.

The Arduino Blog (https://blog.arduino.cc/) is published by the company behind the Arduino line of micro-controllers. On their blog they post updates and news concerning the Arduino boards as well as interesting projects. Today, the Arduino LCS was selected to be on the front page of the Arduino Blog (https://blog.arduino.cc/2023/01/17/the-arduino-launch-control-system-is-a-model-rocket-enthusiasts-dream/). The blog post features a short write-up about the project and points back to the Instructables site.

The project was also posted to their Facebook site where it has received over 90 “Likes” at the time of this writing. It was also posted on their Twitter feed where it was viewed over 8500 times and has 50 “Likes”.

As someone who is new to the world of electronics and the Arduino, I cannot express how surprised I am to find one of my projects featured. I think it also goes to show that even if you are new to creating electronic projects, with a little bit of practice and patience you can create solid, working projects. So if you have been holding off learning about electronics or the Arduino, let this be an encouragement to go out and start adding this new dimension to your rocketry activities.
