Honestly I tired that before and it is very hard to do. You can actually buy those leds with wires pre-soldered on them from some of the chinese...
Sorry for the delay. Here you go. Extract the .zip and use the entire set of files.
Very sorry for the late reply, things have been hectic to say the least. The version you have doesn't have the bug I thought it might.. Anyway I...
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you here.. Life is a little crazy right now.. Which version of that Turnout Controller are you using? I am...
Well the other option for such a very long run would be to ditch the CAT3 cable and use a heavier gauge wire for those long runs. It will prevent...
Been awhile since I’ve been on here. Lol. I’ll try and answer your questions. #1. For the I2C data, it was never intended to be run long...
As far as I know, there have been ZERO changes to the Base Station code since this thread was started. You should be good to go.
Go with servos. They are very cheap to buy compared to anything else. You can adapt them to pretty much any scale layout you are running....
My second Arduino isn't connected to the rails. It listens on its RX line which is connected to the TX1 of my Mega. As for feedback or response,...
I used a second Arduino only because the main code is very interrupt driven and relies on accurate timing to generate the DCC signal. Greg (the...
You know you've really got me thinking about your idea, but with a twist. There is another way and it is a bit cheaper and involves a little...
Considering the PCA9685 was originally intended for LEDs I think it is a good idea. You'd have to do more of the same modifications to the Base...
I forgot to mention one other thing, if you have MORE that 16 servos and need another board like me, the numbering for the servos just continues,...
I had to re download my Turnout Controller and the Base Station code to try and remember what I did LOL. Anyway so you are pretty close. With the...
I would love to share my sketch but there is one major PITA problem. My laptop went for a giant crap 2 weeks ago and I lost everything I had...
@RCMan I guess the best system then would be Ethernet/wifi based. Shields are easy to buy and simple to configure. I was thinking that what...
.255 was meant as an example. Hard coded IP limits could easily be written into the sketch.
Carl I finally had a chance to read through your blog. Very nicely done. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. It has given me some...
I had some more thoughts on this today. To make it more user friendly and easier to code and to clear up one of my concerns. We would need to...
Its really not that hard even with existing hardware and the existing software. There are a couple of ways to go about this. One issue to keep...
