I think I'll be keeping my order with Cavalex, though might just buy one of these just to compare, exciting year ahead.
-
right so update time, I'm looking at rebuilding the baseboards so they're a bit deeper and the mounting faces match up in a modular fashion
-
thank's me and a friend have been working on the code and we've been able to make it work
-
it's alive..... hey Deev, just a query, how do you get your code to remember what position it's set to? and did it ever get posted to github?
-
yeah I'm currently using tinkercad, I'm scrapping the GUI side of the project and just hard coding the colour values now, was able to fix the relay cycling issue, it was accidentally set to pin 13, now I just need to have some sort of simple cross fade between colours
-
after some fiddling I've got the start of some code, still need to make a fade function and work out why pin 3 won't cycle on the 2nd digital write.
-
I'm going to use an old computer PSU to power the lighting and I have been contemplating using individually addressable LED strips
-
how and with what? I want to do full RGB lighting for the sky/sun/moon and then have other things turn on in sequence with the day cycle
-
If you look at the Woodland Scenic's hubs they have a control port that takes a switch but if you replace that with a relay the arduino can switch the just plug lights. Also I'm planning to use an individually addressable RGB strip for the 'sky lighting'
-
so me and a friend were looking at using an arduino for doing a lighting set up that cycles through day and night with 8 channels of control via relays for the woodland scenics lighting hubs, this way we can have street lights that come on at the correct times and shop/house lights that turn on and off. Is there any way to make a program for a computer than can update the arduino to make it easier to use for getting the correct colour of light? something with sliders or a GUI to make setting the times on each out put easier.

How to Exhibit your layout?
Adamphillip replied to Adamphillip's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
just to say I'm asking because as some of you may know St.Neots are no longer running their Kettering show due to the exhibition manager having retired from the role and no one has stepped up to take their place, so I can't exactly exhibit at the club's show -
I just thought it would be a good idea to make a guide thread about how to exhibit layouts for people who are trying it for the first time, how to get a place at an exhibition, what to expect, tips and tricks, that sort of thing.
-
kind of annoyed this hasn't really progressed over the last year, but I guess that's what happens sometimes
-
I really want to take this layout to exhibitions but not sure how
-
Tagging system for topics isn't working when you click on a tag
-
found out the CAN Bus has a dedicated railsync and loconet set up so can just use a small adaptor cable as can bus isn't widely used
-
I may just be repeating something I misheard
-
I think I heard about it when someone was talking about Freemo layouts on youtube
-
yeah, when using DCC boosters all the boosters need to be the same amp otherwise the 5-amp booster will trip the 3-amp booster's short detection when a loco goes over the joint between them, or that's what I've been taught
-
ok, resurrecting this thread from the dead, so, I know the reason for this, the Z21 and the booster are most likely running at different amps, as you loco crosses the gap it trips the over amp protection in one of the devices
-
found a work around, some boosters can have a B-Bus connected from the Z21 and then generate the Loconet-B signal, or I can make a simple little adapter that takes the track power and feeds it into pins 1 and 6
-
it'll have a 2 pin track connection, a RJ12 for LocoNet and an optional RJ12 for XpressNet at each end of the module
-
we're using Fre-Mo N-re standards or T-Trak
-
this is the explanation diagram I did, does this look right?
