Introduction

• The presentation is geared towards DIY (Do It Yourself) modelers that like to dabble in electronics.

• It is not the intent to replace or discourage the use of commercial products.

• There is a learning curve• For those who enjoy the adventure of

discovery.

What is an Arduino

• Arduino is an open source computer hardware and software company out of Italy

• Original product was developed for education by offering a low cost development product

• Rapidly grew into a DIY ecosystem with a large product range and following.

What is an Arduino

• “Arduino” commonly refers to the hardware and software platform

• The company also developed software to ease the development (programming) process

• There are many components or shields available to address many sensing and automation needs

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

Arduino Processor Types

• The original “Arduino Uno” was a large scale board that defined a standard for shields(add on boards)

• The basic design remains but components have changed

Page 6: Arduino Introduction - OMS(re)models...Arduino Introduction What is an Arduino and how do they apply to model railroading? Thomas Ose 2 OMS(re)Models 03/2018 Introduction • The presentation

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

Arduino Processor Types

• Based on the UNO the MEGA has the same capabilities but add more input output ports

• Also has a larger memory capacity for larger programs

Page 7: Arduino Introduction - OMS(re)models...Arduino Introduction What is an Arduino and how do they apply to model railroading? Thomas Ose 2 OMS(re)Models 03/2018 Introduction • The presentation

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

Arduino Shields

• Shields extend the capabilities of the UNO and MEGA

• The shields are all of the same electronic profile– pin layout are the same– physical size is the same

• Shields can be stacked to allow for even more flexibility

Shield Examples

Page 9: Arduino Introduction - OMS(re)models...Arduino Introduction What is an Arduino and how do they apply to model railroading? Thomas Ose 2 OMS(re)Models 03/2018 Introduction • The presentation

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

Arduino variations

• To achieve a smaller form factor variations were developed

• All are programmed the same • All have the same software specifications• All belong to the same ecosystem

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

What are some Applications

• Education• Home Automation• Drones• CNC Milling Machines• 3D Printers• Anything that requires controllable input

outputs with high accuracy and motor control

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

Model Railroading Examples

• Model Railroading is a prime use case for the Arduino

• Model Railroading has a need to control many diverse devices– Motors– Servos– Turnout– Signal– Lamps

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

DCC Controller

• Using a UNO and a motor controller board loaded with the DCC++ software library we can build a complete DCC controller and booster for under $30– fully NMRA compliant– 3 amp Booster– PC interface – JMRI support– Network interface– expansion to control other devices

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

Stationary Decoder

• Geoff Bunza designed a 17 channel decoder board– uses an Arduino Pro with 17 functions– has servo and motor control– uses an open source DCC software library– needs to be assembled and programed

Page 14: Arduino Introduction - OMS(re)models...Arduino Introduction What is an Arduino and how do they apply to model railroading? Thomas Ose 2 OMS(re)Models 03/2018 Introduction • The presentation

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

Digitrax - LocoNet

• Digitrax has a control network know as LocoNet

• Used to connect throttles and other devices to the control station

• Arduino can be used as:– throttle– i/o module– control unit

• Software is open source

Page 15: Arduino Introduction - OMS(re)models...Arduino Introduction What is an Arduino and how do they apply to model railroading? Thomas Ose 2 OMS(re)Models 03/2018 Introduction • The presentation

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

RFID

• Radio-frequency identification (RFID) can be used to identify rolling stock

• Tags are mounted on rolling stock• A sensor reads the tag and reports back to

the Arduino• Arduino then calculates the identity and

location of rolling stock and reports back to the control station

• Control Station takes appropriate action

Thomas Ose OMS(re)Models 03/2018

C/MRI• Computer/Model Railroad Interface (C/MRI) is

used to control devices such as:– Control Panel– Signals– Turnouts– Turntables– Automation

• Developed by Bruce Chubb in 1985• Arduino can be used

– node for input and output– position decoder– control panel driver

• NMRA Supported
