@divolb that is a great idea, there are only 4 wires connecting the arduino to the transistor board, that is very doable.

Would like to see a master and slave box. Slave has wire connections and battery power to trigger rockets. Master has screen, launch buttons, key, etc. Connect both via cheap phone/network cable? Put whole setup in aluminum briefcase, these cases come in many sizes. Where is the exploding stuff?

Never mind that remote electronic ignition is safer than the "light the taper and peg it" method, it still requires a professionals fireworks license from the BPA.
