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
