So here is a concept worth getting some feedback on. Base Station with a 3.2" Enhanced Nextion - using the Original DCC++ Base Station for UNO - using the Original ST298P Motor Shield - but using an NX4024K032_011 Nextion Display The idea here is to be able to visualize the Base Station So over the weekend I tossed together a menu driven HMI - a main menu to be able to return to <0> and <1> - a 12 Throttle Table, Form, and Throttle w/ 29 functions <t>and<f> - a 24 Sensor Table and Form <s> - a 24 Output Table and Form - click from table to toggle <Z> - a 75 Turnout Table and Form - click from table to throw <T> - a 75 Accessory Table and Form - click from table to throw <a> - Nextion side 1K eeprom storage (wifi/records and room for 24 more) Still to do, the dcc programming for the Programming track and Main.

Opinions welcome.
Hi Patrick, I think it's an excellent development! A few of us have been working on doing something similar with @Atani's ESP32 Base Station...
I totally agree, I have an extra lying around. It's basically just giving you visual confirmation of what's in the base station which is extremely valuable. Like a built in DCC sniffer of sorts.
