Apollo Guidance Computer Part 20: electroluminescent panel for our DSKY, making an accelerometer
Now that our AGC works, we rush to integrate the splendid electro-luminescent DSKY display that Ben Krasnow made for us. I also build a rudimentary PIPA accelerometer device so we can try to demonstrate the entire landing programs sequence on our AGC before the Apollo 11 landing 50th anniversary festivities.
