One of the first reasons I decided to build this was to take pictures
of the local flying fields for XTR Reflex flight sim. I'm new to
creating 360 panos and when I get my new controller completed I'll add
programming for gigapans.

It looks like we're going in the same direction using different
components to get there. I've always wanted to get into electronics
and this was a good place to start.

You've got be beat on the software side. I need to learn how to get
the LCD working this weekend before I get into programming that can be
changed using a few buttons.
I like the screen you're using on the GigaPanBot and I was thinking of
using something like that on version 2. I need to learn to walk
before I can run. Our controllers are close in size too. Mine will
be a little smaller but I'm not using your cool, color LCD. :-)
