Instead of an Arduino motorshield can I use a L293D shield?

Hello DCC++, I just looked at these four parts. I find them quite informative as they give me insight into how such a system works. The question I now have is, 8 years have passed and the number of Arduino clowns has increased, and the performance has increased. Do the z. B. a UNO + Wi-Fi R3 AT mega328P + ESP8266 CH340 (32 MB memory) 6V-9V with L293 motor shield? I just bought these two devices yesterday because I thought that every Arduino and motor shield would work. Another question is: I wrote a sketch for an ATTiny88 that evaluates a sensor. How do I transfer the calculated speed to the locomotive, and how do I recognize which locomotive is entering my sensor area? LG Lutz Müller

Very good video, and just might free us from the Digitrax plantation. Whoopee! Well worth a try and will get a motor shield asap. Thanks!

I started with the basic Arduino DCC++ base station and motor shield. My layout has grown and I would like to use the higher amperage DCC-EX 5amp motor shield. Is this possible? I've heard it can possibly be done by changing the Arduino base station code and then compliing and uploading the new code to the base station to increase my available motor driver amperage. Can you help?

this software you are using is not available anymore..

Wow, 2023 and I’m riveted 😀

Отлично и доходчиво даже для тех кто с нуля..

👍👍👍

Got some code to experiment with?

Is ist possible to get some Test Code using a Button or so to get it running

what is a programing track vs main track ?? How do I know the difference ?

Can I hook dcc- ex with the mega to two difference loop tracks?

Where is the software?

Thank you so much!!!!!! I was about to give up

So grateful that you have taken the time to produce and share with us Parts 1 through to 4 showing your impressive detailed overview of the DCC++ interface. I'm fired up to do the same on my layout. Only thing missing are the skills you have. All I need now is time to rerun your four videos to take it all in. Thank you Gregg

I was wondering how much amperage the system can provide to the tracks using a 15 volt power supply on the DCC++ board...

Some of the audio leaves a lot to be desired. Plus all these videos were made 6 years ago. Should I completely ignore these videos and move to something more current?

Is it possible to configure the rails circuit (in yellow) without being connected to the HO control unit? (before starting its construction) With only DCC controller1.1.0 configured on the PC. My test, in this configuration, does not allow it, nor does it activate the green power switch and the speed slider. Only a few buttons respond. Thank you

Nao falou porra nenhuma so mimimi

Hi, great stuff. Just want to know if you extended the functionality to use Railcom?

Any updates? 5 years later and nothing...

Many thanks for taking the time to produce these very clear videos. I've learnt a great deal and it filled many holes in my knowledge that I wasn't aware existed. I do have a question. Is there any fundamental difference between the two sources for the main and program tracks?

I wish you were still developing DCC++. I know others are working on it now. I guess you are too busy landing space probes on Mars! This is such a such a smart project and clearly you are amazingly clever. Thank you!

Thank you fore Manuals! i come from Germany and i see it first time. Oh 10 dollar?! I have buy it 33 Euros this Schield.

Another great explanation of this project.

Glad I found your videos as I have started using the base station and love it. And now I can learn how it really works. Thank you.

Amazing layout and DCC++

How did he wired this up?

Impressive for the orchestration of all three trains. The video was solely to illustrate this, so one can forgive that the trains are going too fast, stops and starts are sudden, and the video needs to add a wide view with editing :) ... and thank you Gregg Berman for creating DCC++. Basic DCC decoders are not expensive, unlike sound decoders that are (and may remain) very costly. The new(ish), tiny, and cheap 5 volt DFplayer may help. It can key multiple bell, whistle, horn, etc diy TF card files while directly driving a speaker. Older LM555 and PIC circuits exist for variable speed steam and diesel loco engine sound to compliment this. This all motivates me (with renewed possibilities) towards a return to my 6 y.o. moth-balled layout plans. Based on the N Scale Scenic Ridge plus a double (reversing) crossover, it will model the old time Kettle Valley Railway that ran steam in the Okanagan (BC interior). Later on the layout will be expanded for transition era including Canadian Pacific and CN Transcontinental passenger trains. A separate outside reverse loop will connect to a long straight section (with siding) along the wall ending in a second reverse loop.

Best lesson on how DCC works. Is it possible to send function commands to a locomotive while operating in analog mode?

From where can i get the code?

Very, very nice. I'm doing one with Arduino and motor shield too. although there are some problems with lamotor shield. BRAVO!!!!

Can anyone post a link to the "overview" video he refers to in this and most of his other videos? I only see 11 videos on his list, and none of them seem to be this "overview".

This is genius teaching. I nearly gave up on understanding what to do until I stumbled upon this site. Fabulous. Enough detail to understand. Not to much to overwhelm. Thanks so much

Great videos. Just wondering your thoughts on the Arduino Due versus the Arduino Mega for model railroad projects?

thanks for the great work!. Can we have detailed Autopilot Video?

is DCC++ support autoreverse loop? without using any external auto reverse like digitrax AR1

Outstanding. Wish I'd seen this years ago. If you ever become interested in automating slot car tracks, let me know. Even something as simple as car detection (using IR LEDs) with automatic switching would be a boon to the hobby.

I have a 2x4 layout, double main, n scale. I want to run maybe 3-5 locos. Do I need 12v or 15v?

Is this software still being actively developed? Gregg, are you contemplating more videos?

curious on what hardware your using to do this....

so I have tried both an arduino uno and arduino mega. I have 15v dc in and was only getting 1.5v dc out to A and 15v out on b. After some messing around... I am now getting 6.5v dc out on A and still 15v out on B... should both A and B be same as voltage in?

I need help from you, I have a problem where I have everything installed to the board and it’s all hooked up to track and such, when I connect it to track power, it disconnects signal from the USB port. I also have a problem where it was working fine last night. This evening when I tried to set it up, nothing works on the board, I’ve done the basic troubleshooting and nothing works at all.

How do you even install the controller? There is no info how anywhere. Also when I try to connect the track power to the uno, the computer wont turn the power on

Hello, I currently have a ILS-DC Stepper Motor Shield V2 TB6612FNG PWN Drive Module For Arduino. It uses the TB6612FNG motor driver chip and it's possible to connect 4 motor. I have 4 output port and I would like to know if the connection for pin 5-13 and 10-11 is the same and which output to use. I tried to do the configuration as in the video but I have no signal on the output. Thanks a lot, Settimio

I can program the loco on the program track and i see it move a bit when it programs to it. but if i pull up a throttle to move it i get nothing.

Nov. 2019 - One of the best series of DCC++ videos I have watch so fare. Thank you so much ☺️

i am new to all of this! would a second motor board and power supply; be like a boost, and power a seconed zone?
