Pete, Update to this post, this subject now a new thread on the DCC++ forum "Bluepill throttle". Cheers
The DCC-EX page itself does not give much information, just listed as an optional throttle. The real nitty gritty is on the creator's Github page...
Have noticed a new throttle project at DCC-EX website titled "Bluepill wired throttle". There is a Github page for download of project by creator...
My bad, will open up in DCC++ forum. Cheers
To peteGSX, Have noticed a new throttle posted on the DCC-EX site, "blue pill wired throttle" by "n1ksn" aka Andrew Palm. Has a Github link. This...
Thanks for the early reply, which I will need to read over again a few times for it to sink in. My interpretation of "character" meant any keys...
Erik, Referring to the actual controller code, not the autoreverser. When we see "wrong key pressed, press character key" does this mean either...
Thanks for the kind words about coming to Europe. Unfortunate for me old age and health and budget will hold me back. Would be nice to sample the...
Speaking for myself, I would be curious to know if a scope can pick a difference in performance. From what I have seen so far by naked eye, the...
Erik, Excellent work on the autoreverser. Very happy to report the updated schematic and the revised code perform just fine with my lash up on a...
Thanks for the quick response. Really helps a project along to have the questions answered. Will heed your advice on the bridge rectifier idea,...
Erik, With over 3000 views now, your project has attracted a lot of interest, me included. Now, I seek your indulgence with two questions...
Excellent work Erik, the additional 5V. supply is a great idea. Cheers.
Great news,thanks Erik, can tinker around to satisfy the curiosity. Cheers
To peteGSX and other's interested. Have set up the autoreverser test track with real rail gapped as required. Can report that the circuit does...
Erik, Referring to your controller circuit diagram, the A4988 stepper driver is wired as default of full step mode. I would like to use / try...
To those interested, have found a circuit for a simple DCC phase checker using LED's to display phasing on two separated tracks, such as we have...
Yes indeed, from my experience with LED signal wires in N scale. Afterthought again, have used / "borrowed" Mom's abrasive fingernail sanders....
Forgot to mention, most wire intended for coils or magnets is purposely coated with a dark high heat resistant variant of laquar for insulation...
Have had same experience with fine prewired LED's. Bit of a worry at first, but found the best way was to scrape the wire with a hobby knife...
