DIY Trigger Style Remote with Telemetry - Complete Guide

Why dont you do a write up for this on a seperate thread so those who would like to do the same could do so? Also, how are you finding the power switch location? Does it ever get accidentally switched?

I do actually intend to do that but I’m still trying to get things organised. I’ve started a build thread for the entire project here, it’ll get filled in slowly as I find the time to write what I did down.

The switch location is great and does not accidentally get pressed… but possibly only for me. I printed a whole bagful of shapes to get things fitting my hand nicely.

Great coating. I put pistol grips on mine at one point. image

Looking good!

Any idea when you will release the new version?

In a week or two… Planning some last few micro changes after I realised some issues in the latest prints …

IMG20190113160651 Made a mistake with the polarity, fried one board’s charging circuitry… Sigh

IMG20190113161632_1 Got longer wires to route under the PCB for an even cleaner look…

Only made a few extras for friends… Too much time needed to build one even after I simplified the PCB.

Have scrolled through the thread today, amazing work! Was wondering if you could update the link for the 1000uF Capacitor as it is currently linking to JST Connectors in the V2 of the parts list :slight_smile:
