Thanks Erik, Does your version produce an analogue signal that needs an Arduino or the like to compute or a digital signal? scratch that. Just...
Hey guys, I've been doing plenty of research into building my own version of a BD20 for block detection on my n scale layout. So far I have found...
After a bit of hunting around all the local DIY shops near where I live, finally managed to gather a couple of sheets of XPS foam for the base...
Not 100% accurate model of the train but something along those lines. A double main line running a loop on a lower level with an incline railway...
That sounds interesting, will look into this. Was only looking at CMRI/JMRI combo as I have a ton of arduino Nano wifi boards left over from the...
Hey everyone, been a while since I was last on the site. Probably about 2 years..... A lot has changed since then, sold the last railway and...
I found this video really helpful in working out how to supply voltages to my layout. [MEDIA]
Ah bugger, thought RS components had an American outlet. finding it a little harder these days to Google stuff, with all the cookie malarkey...
The plugs he uses are the Hirschmann Test and Measurement banana plugs and sockets, RS part numbers 738878 and 738525. not exactly cheap though at...
Ah, stupid muppet I am. Should work now. No I didn't, but will pass it on to him.
Well, the layout left the building last night and the new owner is super happy. He's just retired and was looking for a hobby and Brynderwyn just...
Thanks Ash, I found the error not long after posting it. Silly mistake thanks to cut and paste. still new to this switch case stuff so thanks...
Thanks guys for the input. I've added a switch statement into the code now and the polling rate has gone from about 800ms to 80ms, which is a...
Of course! didn't think about that. For each block there is 10 checks of the pin = 100ms multiply that by 4 and its quite some time. I'll have a...
Good Idea! /*************************************************** BRYNDERWYN LAYOUT This is an Arduino...
Thanks Sumner, I nearly used this method for the CT modules for the block detection but managed to work out a solution (took about two months!)....
Hey guys, I've been scratching my head for a few days trying to work out how to solve this problem. I've got my JMRI set up with a node network...
When I first posted this thread I was exploring different options for controlling DCC++ via the pi, ended up having a good conversation with Steve...
Thanks guys. I knew I was going to sell it soon anyway but wasn't expecting it to be now! I'm a little torn between stripping all the electrics...
Well, unfortunately this will be the final post I will be making about the layout. Made the hard decision today to advertise it for sale as there...
