Lunar Lander – Back in Orbit

Done a while back, but only just updated the blog….

After the big problems with Lunar Lander I ended up bringing the active parts home. In the nice calm environment of my study I worked through the problems. Turns out that the servos are fine. It seems to just be a loose connection that caused all the problems – groan! Anyway it was a good chance to make various small mods and improvements which should hopefully improve the robustness. It’s back on the Pier now.

In other news, Lunar Lander appeared on the Popular Science Blog, and I believe in the Novermber 2009 issue of the magazine.

Edit to add – also picked up by Gizmodo.
