Introducing WiDCC
Something new is happening: I abandoned the RaspDCC project to evolve toward a new project… a project in line with nowadays technology 🙂 the wireless communication!
Well… I called it WiDCC 🙂
RaspDCC: the software for the PIC
Dig into the new RaspDCC repository on GitHib! The source code to programm the expansion shield is available!
RaspDCC: explore the PIC12F1840
The PIC12F1840 is the centre of the expansion shield, the most important IC. Let’s have a deeper look at this component…
Raspberry DCC: Voltage supply
In this chapter of the development I take some time to describe the part of the schematic responsible for the voltage supply to the Raspberry, the expansion shield and the track
Raspberry DCC: list of components
After the release of the schematics, here some additional information: the datasheets of the components.
Raspberry DCC: expansion shield schematics
Finally the first technical document is available, take a look at the schematics!
New Project page for the Raspberry DCC
As the project evolves, I thought it is easier to collect all informations on one page. Have a look at the menu on the top right corner of the website, there is a new link to the Raspberry DCC project. There you can find all the latest documentation related to the project!
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
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
How to customize a wordpress theme
I have been looking for a nice WordPress these since a while. There are plenty of themes that can be modified to fit your needs, but what if you want to change something deeper than the standard settings of the theme? Like changing the font, the colour or the size of some text that is
