Arduino Model Railroad Signals


Book Description

This book provides ideas for the model railroad enthusiast to develop automated signal projects. Most of these projects are HO scale, however there is one G scale semaphore signal. It also provides the basics on using and programming the Arduino micro-controller. These projects are great starting points for projects that specifically fit the model railroader's own system.




Arduino Intermediate Model Railroad Projects


Book Description

This book provides details on the use of the Arduino Micro-controller in intermediate level Model Railroad projects. It covers a wide array of projects that include prototypical signalling detection and control systems, along with ways to incorporate sound and servo animation. The authors hope this book will provide stretch projects for the model railroader with some electronics skills and encourage them to pursue their own advanced level projects.




Arduino Model Railroad Animation


Book Description

The purpose of this book is to show basic animation examples and detailed how-to instructions to get the new animator started. The book explains the basics and how to use the powerful standard Arduino board. It has 135 pages full of figures that show how to construct many different animation model railroad projects. Also easy to read schematics to help build the systems. The authors encourage the model railroader to dream, research, build, and explore other unique ways of using the tools outlined in this book.




Arduino Projects for Engineers


Book Description

Providing 24 projects with wiring diagrams and the programs required to complete each one, this book covers both the software and hardware aspects of each project and will help students create their own innovative prototypes. --




Model Railroad Internet Of Things Projects


Book Description

This book provides a great way to learn about the use of Wi-Fi enabled microcontrollers by demonstrating several Internet-Of-Things applications of the ESP32 devices on small model railroads. The ESP32 is a powerful WIFI/Bluetooth-enabled System on Chip device that lets the programmer do a lot of cool things. The authors show ways to connect them to sensors, turnouts and transfer information to computers by using Wi-Fi technology. The first sections of the book provide a lot of guidance and demonstrate various capabilities to utilize the ESP32 along with the Mosquitto MQTT Broker. The final section of the book uses techniques from the earlier chapters to complete several applications on model railroad layouts of for example capturing data using infrared sensors to determine if sidings are occupied, determine the speed of trains on a layout, and a Wi-Fi DC throttle. This book is intermediate level based on the complexity of IOT systems but it is set up in way to aid a novice in gaining experience to complete the advanced applications and expand to the readers own model railroad projects.

Arduino Projects for Amateur Radio


Book Description

BOOST YOUR HAM RADIO'S CAPABILITIES USING LOW-COST ARDUINO MICROCONTROLLER BOARDS! Do you want to increase the functionality and value of your ham radio without spending a lot of money? This book will show you how! Arduino Projects for Amateur Radio is filled with step-by-step microcontroller projects you can accomplish on your own--no programming experience necessary. After getting you set up on an Arduino board, veteran ham radio operators Jack Purdum (W8TEE) and Dennis Kidder (W6DQ) start with a simple LCD display and move up to projects that can add hundreds of dollars' worth of upgrades to existing equipment. This practical guide provides detailed instructions, helpful diagrams, lists of low-cost parts and suppliers, and hardware and software tips that make building your own equipment even more enjoyable. Downloadable code for all of the projects in the book is also available. Do-it-yourself projects include: LCD shield Station timer General purpose panel meter Dummy load and watt meter CW automatic keyer Morse code decoder PS2 keyboard CW encoder Universal relay shield Flexible sequencer Rotator controller Directional watt and SWR meter Simple frequency counter DDS VFO Portable solar power source
