There's no doubt that I have crossed some form of line.
None what so ever...
I give you, "Yet another persons home grown DCC generator" (thingie):
What is it? It's effectively an alternative to the DCC++ Arduino and Motor shield solution for driving your DCC trains.
It is all fresh code which has it's own selection of pro's and con's, but I am chuffed with the LCD giving a second by second summary of what is going on (as far as the Arduino can tell). The "Lnnnn" gives the value returned by the Motor Shield for the power/load passing through the H-Brigde, "Pn" says which track is on (0-none,1=Main, 2=Programming). "Fnn" tells you how many output bit buffers are free. "Tnnnn" indicates how many DCC packets are being transmitting per second. "Uxxxx" is the uptime of the Arduino since last restart. The right hand side gives a brief summary of what the currently active bit buffers are doing. In this case an engine with the DCC ID 473 is going forwards at speed 48.
Obviously the Volt & Amp meter are self explanatory.
All good fun, so far. Plenty of testing to do .. good excuse to play trains me thinks
