Great work Carl, I will build one for sure. It may come in handy some time. Thanks for posting.

Re: Onboard Motor Timer
After yesterday's flights with my Mattel Pulstar I'm going to have the warning that the motor is about to cut a little earlier. Currently it does a momentary cut each second for the last 5 seconds, but I'll do this 15 seconds from the end instead. So a momentary cut each second for 5 seconds as before but then the final 10 seconds normal power. It'll give more time to get into a position for better landings.

Re: Onboard Motor Timer
Thanks Wayne, I just need to upload the latest sketch where you can set when the motor momentarily cuts 5 times before the end of the timed motor run. I'll do that later.

Re: Onboard Motor Timer
I've uploaded the updated sketch at the end of the first post:
15 seconds before the motor cuts at the end of it's run, there are 5 momentary cuts to the motor to indicate the motor run is soon to end (this time period can be customized in the code)
