Have you ever dreamed of building your own rocket and exploring outer space? Now you can, kinda. Imagine you are chief engineer on the StarDust Mark I rocket ship and it is your job to install the ships computer and engine.
In this tutorial you will install a Bluetooth LE Arduino to control a LED and laser module to add interactivity to a model toy rocket. The laser will be the engine light and the LED will illuminate the cockpit. Although it is not covered in this tutorial, you can also expand the features of your toy rocket by adding servos, sensors and sound modules. Use your imagination to customize it for any space mission.
