DCC++ firmware will apparently come pre-loaded, the DCC++ controller software is not required if using JMRI I have had no issue running JMRI...
The hat is basically the arduino and motor shield crammed into one card You won't need the DCC++ software Going by his first design, you will need...
Most LGB locos are built like tanks. If you want to keep the eggliners, Bachmann is makeing them now, with parts available soon.
While not strictly DCC related, I thought I might share my latest project. I like using JMRI and Engine Driver for android. The problem is, I...
Also, looks like you can get the digitrax AR1 for $24 if you look around. as much as I like DIY, hard to argue with simple and inexpensive.
as for switching while the loco is moving, worst case is that the loco misses a command, which should not be an issue. if your setup worked fast,...
You can do it with just a DPDT switch, but that would require manually switching it. Yes, you could do your own. If you always run thru the loop...
that is what the auto reverser does, some boosters have this feature built in.
the autoreverse circuits work incredibly fast, they usually can detect and correct the short before you even notice anything. You could create a...
With DCC, the engine moves relative to ITs front and rear. track polarity does not matter, as it changes about 10000 times a second. when you go...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you really want to use this without a Pi, plug this into the hat, and into your PC...
How are you measuring voltage on the track. DCC switches polarity to send data. If you meter is set to DC, its probably going to give all kinds...
agreed. I couldn't code my way out of a paper bag, but looking at the forked code, it lists A0 and A1 as current sense, so that is a good omen.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't see any current sensing. Is that the case?
If you don't mind, could you share what went wrong? In the future, someone else may run into a similar situation.
After playing with JMRI, DCC++, and some n-scale equipment, I am hooked. Problem is, I really am more into G scale. I started off with the Jr....
They intended for you to cut between the pads, so that if you wanted to, you could re-connect it with a blob of solder. So long as that brake is...
As far as I can tell, this board cannot read CVs. The board cannot read current draw. Decoders talk back to the base station by pulsing the...

how to you open these cars?
