I may have overlooked this, but wouldn't the simplest way to get two power districts be to edit the Base Station code so there was, instead of...
OK, thanks, Atani. I guess I haven't paid attention closely enough (I just have a test track wired for now)--I didn't realize a short on either...
I have an interest in this, but I'm not sure I follow what is being done. It seems to me that all is needed is 1. Main Base Station that has...
I am using a Pololu DRV8880 on the turntable stepper drive board to which I linked above. The DRV8880 is a very nice driver, and has...
Thank you, Dave. For full disclosure re. my question, my own throttle doesn't have a display. [ATTACH] The next city over has a 3D printer in...
Dave, is there a reason you run your wireless throttle on two batteries in series? Both the Pro Mini and the HC-12 board will run on 3.3V so I'd...
I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding, Brent, but that is the way my DeekRobot shield works. A short on either the main or programming track shuts...
I have the MotoMama motor shield up and running. As I posted earlier, although it has the (to me, at least) desirable feature of the upright...
Scott, does that mean that if there are several wireless commercial DCC systems in use at a model train show, and two layouts have a common loco...
Dave, thank you for finding the HC-12 transceiver! The great thing to me is that the Arduino doesn't know/care it is there. No Arduino libraries...
Gregg, thank you for all your effort in developing this system! I do have a Mega with Deek-Robot clone motor shield running, but I'd like to use...
Some people know how to mount an L298P, as I linked above:...
Thanks, Kevin. I'd be happy to swap the Deek-Robots if alice1101983 would pay the shipping both ways. But I'd want confirmation that the chips...
I can't recommend the Deek-Robot shield, if in general they are made like the two I bought without the heat slug soldered to the pad on the board....
Oh yeah! The resistor network Dave replaced at the bottom of his DCC++ page is part of the current-sensing circuit. And that page is also why...
It looks like the MotoMama schematic I attached above is out of date. It shows the CSA (L298N pin 1) coming out to a header named J16, and CSB...
Yes, thank you again, I've been looking into that this morning. I'm attaching the schematic of the Motomama board. On it the sense pins are just...
Thank you for the heads-up. The L298N and L298P are identical electrically, and the Deek-Robot shield has the current sense pins tied to ground...
I misspoke a little above. The vias on the Deek-Robot shield are not large or numerous enough to be actual thermal vias. There is an L298P motor...
It is an error of fabrication. I haven't pulled a chip, and at this point won't, but further examination of one of the boards does show the end...
