This book provides details on the use of the Arduino Micro-controller in intermediate level Model Railroad projects. It covers a wide array of projects that include prototypical signalling detection and control systems, along with ways to incorporate sound and servo animation. The authors hope this book will provide stretch projects for the model railroader with some electronics skills and encourage them to pursue their own advanced level projects.
The projects in this book provide users who mastered Arduino basics with a way to gain more experience with this incredible tool, increase usage, and improve their model railroads. If the reader is just starting out, these projects might be challenging, but can be successfully developed with a little research and practice.
Model Railroaders spend a lot of time and money creating operational locomotives and rolling stock. However, in many cases these wonderfully accurate mobile items roll through a still-life layout. The Arduino microcontroller is an amazingly powerful, low-cost tool. When combined with other devices, it can enhance the enjoyment and prototype nature of these miniature worlds. As an integrated tool with other systems and components, the Arduino can improve operational aspects and bring these still-life layouts to life.
The authors define intermediate projects as those that use an Arduino to control multiple components or have complex code. Some fundamental details may not be included in the project write-ups, because the authors assume that the reader has experience with the Arduino. Many Arduino users online will assist beginner developers who lack experience. Also, the authors’ previous books on model railroad signaling and animation contain a great deal of basic information that will aid the reader in utilizing this intermediate project book. The authors have not included as much detail on the models and modifications, but again assume the reader has built kits and understands general modeling practices. The pictures do highlight modifications made on the buildings.
Experts who use Arduino and electronics may consider these projects somewhat less challenging, but the authors have found that even projects that seem simple can stretch ones skills. The authors believe that the average railroad modeler will find these projects interesting and provide challenges, adding realistic model railroad operational aspects to bring the still-life railroad to real-life simulation.
