As part of my journey looking for new projects for the club layout, I just finished a book called Arduino Model Railroad Animation. It covers using servos to operate semaphores, water tank, cranes and other trackside accessories. This is a
We finally finished the Scale Speedometer Project, and are heading off to the Charleston Area Model Railroad Club to install it. We used the Adafruit I2C 7 Segment backpack, a Arduino Nano clone, and two IR transceivers, for total project
Ok, what does this have to do with Arduino or Raspberry Pi? Well, I am working on a couple of Pi emulating antique computer projects, and said, let’s try this! I could use some financial help with a few projects
The three 7 segment LED’s from part 2 require 24 i/o pins on the Arduino. We can use port expanders to limit that to 2 pins, the I2c connections. Each MCP23017 chip supports 16 i/o pins, so two chips will
