KERDUINO-making smallest control pod thread.

ARDUINO UNO(LOW POLY) (click to view in 3D)

So.. My extinguisher project has been almost finished. I'm now starting another project-KERDUINO.

Can be sound like somewhat enormous project but What I'm doing now is just modeling a tiny POD. So that you can alter the control axis without dull-big pods and make a cool looking missiles or smart bombs.

Like you see above, Modeling has been finished but somehow KSP is not loading my model. It only loads texture.

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/55678-My-model-is-not-loading-help%21

on this thread, I asked for help, however I wanna get some help quickly..

Is there anybody who can help me?... I'm really becoming depressed..

I hope the backside will not look like the front side like it does in the Sketchfab view? I'd find that a bit disappointing.

[rkfnql322]

Texture file is available. It will be changed right after the errors fixed.

I've collected back-side image already.

Ok thanks, just wanted to know

I will keep an eye on this. Great for deorbiting stuff

[rasheed]

Impressive.....

(U in wrong thread btw)

Love the model, great idea, I've needed something like this a few times. I'll keep a Kerbly eye on this one

for those too lazy to click the link:

You should submit this to KebinLaity of kOS Autopilot - it's in dire need for a radial part and this could be perfect.

This is a really fun & quirky addition.

I think for some game balance, since the part is small and very convenient to add, maybe it could use much more power than other similar systems?

[Gaius]

Doesn't make a lot of sense that it would use more power. What does make sense is, it should provide absolutely no torque.

If you want to use it with kOS, just add to its config:

MODULE
{
	name = kOSProcessor
}

You could even put that in by default. It's harmless and is just ignored if kOS is not installed.

But then, along with other aspects of the game, why wouldn't you always just use the smaller part if it was basically the same without penalty. Purely for aesthetics?

It was planned not to use much power(like high-tech LED doesn't consume much power but brighter than bulb) and having no toque.

Balancing.. hmm i'm not squad but just a noob modeler. I've never thought about it..

Good to see this on the forum, sir!

[Nuke]

would be cool if it emulated the atmega core (only 135 instructions). then you could upload arduino sketches to the ingame processor. then have it interface with in game sensors, transceivers, and other parts.

You have something small, lightweight, highly capable, and cheap. If you make it appear sufficiently late in the tech tree, it shouldn't unbalance the game.

Don't forget, the smart phone you may have in your pocket likely has more computing power than all of NASA had during the Apollo program. Kerbals are starting off with the equivalent of early atomic-age tech. If something as capable as Arduino were available back then, it would have cost millions of dollars and been as big as a bus. But later on, as they develop other technologies, smaller devices become reasonable.
