There is one of the expensive pc based layout control systems which does this, name escapes me..
Although, considering you can buy a BMS/protection board for no money, maybe we should just assume a 12v dc supply...
I’m keen to get as much as possible on to one dedicated board. Whilst each proprietary board is cheap in isolation, add them together, and you end...
Dumb Q, I assume that the battery charge/track power would come in upstream of the bridge rectifier, and the battery would come in after it, so...
The standard motor I use in O gauge is the Mashima 1833 with a 40:1 reduction. Max current draw is rated at 500mA. If people want to fit some Amp...
Excellent, bearing in mind a lot of that went over my head! Would it be worth considering a long board, with all components fitted, but in...
Great news! I’ve had a bit of a look around to remind myself of where I was up to with my previous experiments. I came up with; Power in; DCC...
Other limitations of DCC sound decoders is that they are usually only playing loco sounds, not the coupled rolling stock. A Logitech sound system...
Under baseboard sound for me would be a nice big 5.1 sound system so that I got the bass sounds of big O gauge locos. The little 20mm speakers...
I wouldn’t know where to start designing a board...!
I like the way you think, especially away from the rails (power = command signal) I’m not that wedded to the DCC comms protocols. I was quite...
I envy your ability to design boards. That thing looks tiny!
I like the idea of a custom board. I’d be wanting some power choices, ie BAttery as well as track power, and the signal via WiFi rather than the...
My feeble attempt.. http://www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?threads/dcc-wi-fi-receiver-trackside-or-onboard.99820/
Heck yeah. That’s got great possibilities for virtual Sound decoder. I didn’t realize it could get that accurate. I’m gathering I could...
I’m pretty sure you are right, I didn’t do all possible text strings, I avoided the chang8ng of CV’s for example This would be a good idea, I...
Shdwdrgn, you certainly need a decoder on the loco, but if you are going to receive the commands through the rails, you should just go buy a cheap...
I’ve attempted a WiFi decoder here http://www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?threads/dcc-wi-fi-receiver-trackside-or-onboard.99820/ Note that...
Hi Trusty, This could suit me as a novice, however the github link doesn’t seem to be working? Cheers, Simon
RC Car charger is probably overkill. They are designed for multicell batteries that need balance charging and fast charging. I’ve got one, but not...
