Me and my son build estes model rockets and would like to launch these by remote control. After doing some research on electronic ignition devices at the hobby shop I found that an electric ignitor requires about 1 amp to fire. I'd like to build a firing module with 12 outputs that we can fire these ignitors with by pushing one button remotely. I'm not looking for a wireless system. I feel more comfortable using a wired system. I'm not really thinking of a box with 12 buttons for each ignitor. Here's what I envision:
I'd like to have a small hand held box with one button. Two wires from this box go to the firing module about 100ft away. The firing module will have the 12 outputs. When the button on the hand held box is pushed, a pulse is sent to the firing module and output 1 fires. When the button is pressed a second time, output 2 fires. A third time, output 3 fires. It would like a manual sequential firing, until all outputs are used. I'm not too sure how to accomplish this electronically. Anyones help would be appreciated.
