DEVLOG 3 - Upgraded electronics and wireless control on the engine.

Hello again everybody. For the past 10 days ive done major upgrades on the hardware an electrical parts . I bought a 433MHz RF Transmitter and Receiver Kit to make the controlling wireless , made a remote for the engine , put a thermoresistor that im having a bit trouble to translate to temperature , made a 2s battery pack for the remote and bought one of those mini gas canister to supply fuel.
I plan to put the thermoresistor near the nozzle to have a measurement of the exhaust gas temperature. About making the remote it was pretty easy , i got the casing from an old RC car and just put an arduino nano , 2s battery pack and the transmitter.
About the fuel supply it didnt have much pressure , s in the beginning of every run ill pre hear the car with some boiling water to get some more pressure.
To power everything up on the project i might use 2 battery packs , the main battery only for the ESC and EDF and another 2s pack for the arduino and eletronics in the engine.
Im still having trouble on the programming side and thats the only thing stopping me from the first test run with arduinos .
Also if anyone is curious about how this engine works and every special thing about it comment and ill make another devlog explaining everything you want to know.
