Thanks Sumner.
I built an Arduino Uno base station and downloaded DCC++ software. Previously, I came across a way to test the base station using jumpers between...
Placing my N scale engine on the track has always been difficult. Recently, I saw a video where a flat tool was put on the track, the engine...
Thanks guys. Problem solved. I had not noticed that of the three short pieces that came with each turn-out, one was longer than the other two....
The photo that shows my siding. When I place the bottom track against a straight edge, notice the gap in the (top) middle of the siding.
Thanks for the replies. I purchased three packs today from a shop owner who has been modelling for 30 years. I assume he knows what he is selling....
Today I bought some Kato to make a siding, two turnouts (20-220 and 20-221) and some straight track (20-010). The track pieces were as specified...
While in UK I purchased a PECO N gauge right hand turnout plus two pieces of connecting track. The three were supposed to fit together, although I...
Engines crossing the turnout will be leaving a station, so will be going slow and need power.
I plan to use turnouts on my DCC-enabled layout. What power do I apply to the frog? It should be DCC digital signals, with the polarity reversed...
Thanks FlightRisk. Very informative and helpful.
Is there a hardware description for DCCInspector-EX? I could only find software and the name of the ESP8266 WiFi board.
"Power may also be removed from the rails between the Packet End Bit and the Preamble of the next packet to allow for alternative command control...
I realised my mistake while in bed last night. I construct a command packet, compile the script, and send it to Arduino for processing. My mistake...
The format you listed are all correct. Using a single command, I have tested the script on three trains with different makes of decoder, altering...
Thanks Ash. Those are DCC++ commands, I am not using DCC++ and have written my own code for Arduino. The question was about understanding NMRA's...
I tried implementing an extended packet format with two command bytes 01101111 0 10010000, but the decoder only recognised the first command, and...
I wrote an Arduino script to implement DCC signalling on the track. My code can send a single DCC packet to an engine. If I send "01101111" in the...
I have posted some YouTube videos explaining the basics of DCC and Arduino. If you have any suggestions for improvements let me know. DCC part 1:...
//Here is my code. Used on an Arduino Uno with an R3 motor shield. const byte Pin3 = 3; // PWM const byte Pin12 = 12; // Forward, Reverse...
