This is great! I tested it today and sure enough; lights and engine sound on! However I found that F5-F8 did not work so looking into the...
Good to hear that you have narrowed it down somewhat. Regarding the ever repeating commands I can confirm that they keep on being sent, even...
Any news on the loco functions? Is it a problem only for some users? Atani you mention that you have made the change to Esp32 on your layout, does...
Yikes, sorry to hear about the possible fried decoder. When you say that the F buttons do not generate any output on the ESP32 monitor, does this...
Thanks for the fast reply! Hmm when I activate the track current meter in jmri this is shown in the DCC++ traffic monitor in jmri: Status Cmd...
Hi, what a delight to see that DCC is still very much alive thanks to devoted people like you Atani. I have been following this project for a...
There is a arduino based accessory decoder design by geoff bunza, that I use for all my turnouts. Each decoder can handle 17 servos (or 21 if you...
Those boards looks really nice Pepijn! Great work! I have used OSH Park before, when building some accessory decoders, it's a great service and...
That is great to hear!
I 0.5v is actually pretty close, the 2n3904 starts opening at 0.55v. You could try to make one more winding with the track wire, an and make sure...
As promised, here are some photos of the devices installed:[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Have you had any luck yet, getting them to work twindad?
The theory of the circuit is as follows: Current track=15v/10kohm=1.5mA Voltage coil = 15v*200=3000v Current coil = 1.5mA/200=7.5uA Ok so 3000V...
Hmm I think there might be a couple of causes to your troubles, the coil could work, but it might need a very different configuration than the one...
Hmm well it is not going to give a clear 5v to 0v bipolar signal, but the voltage difference you describe, is too small. On my devices it goes...
I think it's because of the forward voltage, on the mbs6 (made a typo before) it's way up at about 0.9V while on the 1n4148 it's a mere 0.55 if I...
Well in function, the only difference is sensitivity I suppose. I designed the circuit with high sensitivity, low cost and low number of...
Oh I see. Well I have just begun to dive into the arduino and dcc++ world, but I suppose you could use a separate arduino uno to each category,...
Is it a H0 layout? because maybe 13V will be on the low side then. You're welcome!
I use the standard DCC++ sketch and i have just configured the sensor input in JMRI, in the DCC++ options tab, but you can do it with the serial...
Yes im using H0 scale trains, with a 15V power supply, and a Sprog 3 DCC controller (2.5A) as I dont have a arduino motor shield yet. This circuit...
