You read my mind that is just the route I have thought about taking.
Yes there is an Arduino nano in each light tower a relay and a infa red receiver
We should compare plans sometime soon we may be of help to each other in this endeavor.
I too an new to Arduino and just finding my feet so to speak.
I dont have any hydraulic equipment yet however I plan to develop the same type of system for telemetry.

many thanks

How freaky!
That would be great, I think 2 heads will certainly be better than 1, I can't see it being easy.
I have found the code for sending the data via the s-port to a Taranis so thats a start.
I'll let you know when my parts arrive and I can start assembling the H/W side of things and look forward to working together on it.

Cheers
Stu

Plywood supplies you would not believe the cost of it in the UK that sheet 5mm thick half of an 8 by 4 foot sheet (metric NON STRUCTURAL HARDWOOD PLYWOOD 5.5 X 607 X 2440MM) is £12.99 or $16

Hi All

Happy New Year

Its been very busy here lots of jobs to get out and repair to friends RC items and or course the 4 letter word WORK.
So just thought i would post some items as way of an update.

Now have a 6040 CNC machine and i'am finding the learning curve quite steep however progress is being made a big plus is I already had a half decent grip on fusion 360 form a modeling perspective due to using it with my 3D printer however CAM is a whole new experience

First up a heavy Haulage mount for a Tamiya MAN truck

CAD in Fusion
