Hi Phil,
same here, I took my first panoramas for the same reason, even I'm
using RFG3 as flight simulator.
As you have got the main thing working already you just need a few
more lines of code to build a user interface, a menu and save some
parameters into the EEPROM.
A simple LCD 2x16 or 4x20 should be good enough to communicate with
the user. A graphical LCD is nice but I can tell you, a lot of
additional work!
Have fun, ET
