I just saw something on Youtube that mentioned that they used the Arduino Due (pronounced doo-ay) version on the UDOO board. The Due only...
Instead of connecting the Arduino board to a desktop/laptop computer, some people have talked about using a Raspberry Pi instead. There's a new...
Another vote for Inkscape. It's FREE! https://inkscape.org/en/ Vector graphics are different than the paint programs you're probably used to,...
In case anyone is interested, I found another enclosure that should work well for this throttle. At $14 it's more expensive than the Hammond...
To Dave Bodnar, how do you charge the cell battery? Do you have to remove it, or is there a charging port somewhere? Hammond Mfg had a 3D file...
Last night I mocked up the image below to see if the displays would fit on the Hammond enclosures. At left is the 3.2" and the right one is 3.5"....
That's a nice looking unit with the display, Dave. I wonder if it would fit into one of these enclosures. It's the same company that makes the...
I don't know if you've seen this before, but Geoff Bunza shows how to run 17 servos from a $3 Arduino Pro Mini board....
That's a nice looking hand unit, Dave. Does the pot have a stop at the center-off position, or do you have to look at the readout to see that...
Yeah, that's been on the market for 3 or 4 years now. I don't recall the original price, but it was certainly more than 2.9M. Steve S
This one looks pretty interesting. You could get it down to 18" by using building flats and shaving off a couple of inches along the back....
One of the big challenges is that the track along the left and top walls has to be elevated to cross over the lower tracks. But the way it's...
This is extremely quick and dirty, but it gives you a rough idea of what it would look like. To do a better job of masking would take quite a...
If you stop by the Dollar Tree store, pick up a bottle of LA's Totally Awesome All-Purpose cleaner. Spray it on both sides of the foam board,...
If you're looking for a cheap alternative for roadbed, the Readiboard foam board from Dollar Tree stores should work. Soak off the outer layers...
I'm not a fan of reversing loops because they eat up a lot of space that could be devoted to scenery or industries. You want a coal mining theme,...
Not necessarily. I bought my desktop near the end of the Vista era, and my laptop at the beginning of Win7. They both have the same amount of...
If you don't want to shell out money for Win7, you could try running Linux from a thumb drive, or set up a partition for it on the hard drive. A...
If you're looking to save some money, you might look into the open-source DCC base station discussed in this thread.......
Here's a guy who made an Arduino DCC system controlled by a TV remote. Most remotes are pretty tactile. The volume and channel buttons could be...
