The fact that I’m usually more of a reader of forums can be seen from the number of my posts. Today, however, I would like to introduce you to a project of mine that may be of interest to one or the other. The project is a more or less full-fledged self-made DCC locomotive decoder. Both the software and the hardware are open-source. Below are a few key points:
Dimensions of 25x20mm
Motor control
128 speed levels
4 auxiliary outputs
6 more GPIO (currently only as output)
Programmable on the programming track
Functions can switch any outputs
Both GPIO and Aux outputs can be configured as PWM
The documentation is in English and can be found in the
i made a home made dcc decoder [no sound] for about ten bucks maybe five years ago … i used the firmware from merg, but updated the components as required …
they worked well, got them premade [pcb/parts/assembly] by another fellow, very fast turnaround, shipping was included in the 10 [us] price…
