3D Printed DSKY I made for KSP

http://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/2gnxrb/3d_printed_dsky_i_made_for_ksp/

Hello again! I posted several months ago with my KSP physical control panel and have kept working off and on since then. I got a 3D printer and decided it would be cool to make a replica of a DSKY from the Apollo program. But why stop with a replica? Why not make it actually work with KSP?
I learned a lot while making the project, including how to code in openSCAD, the things you can and can't do with 3D printing (yet), and how weird your old code always seems to look.
I hope you all enjoy this and as usual I'm publishing my work on GitHub if you want to print your own.
Note: depending on your printer it will take over 14 hours to print all of the layers.

Telemachus – Telemetry and Flight Control in the Web Browser

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/24594-0-23-5-%282014-5-3%29-Telemachus-%E2%80%93-Telemetry-and-Flight-Control-in-the-Web-Browser

Once the Telemachus data link part is installed...

...you can connect to a telemetry source using your web browser, to obtain several visualisations...



...and then combine them to construct your own mission control. In the image below we have an example of such a setup:

From left to right you have: Atmospheric density chart, KSP (obviously), Altitude chart, and a g-force chart on the tablet perched on the shelf. The following screen shots show more Telemachus features.

Figure 2 - MechJeb2 integration



Figure 3 - Kerbal Maps integration


Download Telemachus from Curse, KerbalStuff or GitHub

For Compliance of Add-on Rule 5

In case it wasn't obvious already, Telemachus sends telemetry data from KSP to a web browser. If you require precise information on the data exchanged and the protocols used, then please check out the API Documentation.

Guy Builds an Actual Working Flight Computer for Kerbal Space Program

http://kotaku.com/guy-3d-prints-actual-working-flight-computer-for-kerbal-1636244174

Kerbal Space Program has a whole lot of numbers and variables behind it that influence how your spaceships work and where they go. Well, what better way to keep track of them than with this NASA-inspired flight computer?

Built by redditor KK4TEE, this little box is basically a computer that can interpret data supplied by a Kerbal Space Program mod called Telemachus. It's powered by an Arduino board, housed in a 3D-printed box, with the design based on NASA's DSKY, an interface unit used during the Apollo program.

The unit can display four types of numeric values, from top to bottom: time to apoapsis, current altitude, apoapsis, and periapsis (apoapsis and periapsis being the nearest and furthest points, relative to the ship, of a celestial object's orbit). The indicators show the status of the following five systems, from top to bottom: master alarm, SAS flight controller, RCS thrusters, landing gears, and brakes.

It's heavy stuff! It really shows how deep Kerbal Space Program is, and how much there is to the game beyond building rockets and having them blow up. There's a lot to fall in love with, and I guess building a working flight computer is just one geeky and awesome way to show that love.

Here's the full album. Check it out for several more photos and a whole lot of WIP shots:
