Hi Dave i built you encoder version of the throttle and it keeps freezing, it'll work for a while (not more than 5 minutes) the it will just...
no the DCC signal is PURE DC Pulse width modulated signal(PWM) the is NO negative voltage anywhere on the track, the signal is ALWAYS 0 to +12 (or...

no, the motor shield requires DC for DCC, no AC whatsoever!!! the DCC signal is a DC squarewave signal putting AC through the power input of...
i hope you mean 15v DC and not AC Steph!
i had this problem, the address of your LCD is probably not 0x27, mine was 0x3f, but it can be anything from 0x03 to 0x77, use the program...
one thing i hadn't noticed when first reading your original post, are you using the ESP8266-1 and the USB connection (as data not just power) at...
one possibility, you're running out of memory the NANO is a UNO in a different formfactor, you can burn the UNO bootloader(512bits) into it, and...
Do you have a link to that fork, i have not seen it listed anywhere. Thanks Steph!
lights work but motor doesn't this usually means CV29 misconfigured if loco has 2 digit address then CV29 should be 06 (base10) or 07 if normal...
CV29 has wrong value ( when lights work but moter fails to respond in DCC, this is typicaly the problem) you didn't specify your loco address...
with the light functions still working this is most definitely a short from the motor to the frame, i've had several of these even from some...
no problems with Linux, works great, JMRI and DCC++ are perfect under Linux. Steph!
here's the direct link to the arduino bootloader setup/programming https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoISP
Thanks for now i'm just gonna breadboard this, (as canadapost is going on strike xor lockout ;-) i'm gonna rip out the optical encoder for an old...
Looks great, but is there a schematic of the hardware? i'd like to do a test build. and i'll be using a Nano v3 (builtin USB, make it easier to...
i get this under Linux, i don't know if the bug also happens with Winblows or OSX, could this be a "Font" problem? ie: the one selected, might...
no, probably different chips used for the usb, some are ftdi, some are ch340/341 (my preference, no driver problems), some use Arduino u8 or u16...
there are 2 crystals the one with 12 is for the usb and is next to the usb connector the 16mhz one is next to the 6pin ISP connector, and is...
that unit may have regulatory problems depending on where you are. you might have better success with these (you'll need a pair) and these are...
