I couple of weeks ago I designed a PCB for Kim's circuit and had three boards made at OSH Park. I thought I'd share it with you. Attached is...
Thanks Jirka. Good to know this should definitely work. At first I thought the address offset was the problem, but the dcc packet monitor for...
Has anyone successfully managed to operate any accessories such as turnouts using DCC++ in combination with one of the available DCC decoders for...
Turned out the coil I was using was too big. I ordered some new ones and they work flawlessly. I can detect my smallest cab even when it's idle on...
I was very close then. I think the voltage was actually 0.53 :) I should mention it had several windings already (4 or so I think), but I'll try...
I've also build a copy of Kim's Block detector on a breadboard. I've tested it with loose bit of track with Small H0 cab, but it doesn't seem to...
This will allow you to run and program trains but there is no current sensing on the board. So, no feedback whilst programming and no short...
Can anyone comment on the differences and pros/cons of the two different circuits posted by Kim and David? I'll be trying out the both of them as...
@Gregg : I stumbled across this today:...
I haven't seen this done in software yet. But it's possible with as simple prefab TTL to RS485 Module for Arduino or some basic components. I have...
I finally managed to reliably hook up the RS485 module. It is all very slow going, as I'm new to Arduino, C++ and Rs485. However, I was able to...
Are you using prebuild rs485 modules or designing your own interface? I'm trying to hook up one of the earlier mentioned RS485 modules to an...
Thanks David. I think I'll have a go at it.
That one seems reasonably priced. But at what voltage did you run the trains? The description says the operating voltage is only 5V to 12V.
Thank you for spotting that. Saves me the time looking for the right pins. I had already tried all 6 analogue pins. Can anyone recommend a motor...
I am. The Arduino is powered through USB.
Hi everyone, I bought a motorshield from aliexpress a couple of months ago and today hooked it up to a Mega2560 and loaded the latest DCC++. I'm...
Gregg, this would be great. I'm trying this with the Mega and some other motorshield and there's a buzzer on pin 4 where the pwm signal for the...
