Thanks! I'm excited to use what I learned building this, and apply it to more hardware! Haha that sounds like my apartment too, little prototyped projects all over doing and displaying different things! Arduinos are too fun. (and oh! I'll post these there in the future, I couldnt quite tell where this should be posted admittedly. Thanks for movin it over for me)

*This display relies on the KSPSerialIO plugin written by zitronen!* Once I got my custom controller built I'm not gonna lie, I was just itching to add more to my cockpit, so I set my sights on making some gauges! I chose an orbital information display as the first mostly because its the one I found myself wnting most when playing (I have to take my hands off the controls to switch my display to maneuvering mode to see my apospsis and periapsis.) This displays both my apoapsis and periapsis in meters currently (I will add conversions for km and Mm soon) and has LEDs to show your orbital status at a glance! Red for <45,000m, yellow/orange for 45km-75km, and green for >70km Here's a link to a the build process, I tried to be detailed and document most of my steps!) I still have work to do on this, and I will likely update this thread when I add things I have planned like recessed text, unit conversion and brighness adjustment/optimization!

(First off this is my first post here so I hope I'm dropping this in the right category!) This controller was 100% designed and built by me from scratch over the past week! I recently picked up KSP over quatrantine (I'm late to the party, I know haha!) and I was instantly hooked. Before I knew it I was craving input beyond simple KB and mouse! Here is a link to a very detailed rundown of the process i took to take this from an idea to the finished product! It's not quite a tutorial, but if anyone has any questions on how I completed any steps I'd be glad to answer them! Link to the build and some demo vids Only thing to do now is stop procrastinating on building that space station around Kerbin!
