Raspberry DCC: ideas for the first revision and map of the project

Hello again! I described the idea for a Raspberry Pi based DCC central station, well I want first to highlight some design choices that have to be done for a first revision in the project. The Raspberry offers an expansion port, with some GPIO pins, voltage supplies (5V and 3.3V) and interface pins. One of the Read More

Raspberry DCC: expansion shield that transforms your Raspberry Pi into a DCC central station

I wanted to practise in microcontroller programming and came out with an idea… I own a Raspberry, which is very is easy to program thanks to python, and offers a lot of features that enable it to be easily expanded. I used to program PIC microcontrollers and really liked it, so why not to think about something where Read More
