No soldering and no programming required.Add a DC 15 volt power source.
Complete DCC Controller used along with ‘LocoMotive DCC’ App.Kit Includes :- Bluetooth communication with Android device (phone or tablet)- Microprocessor to process the incoming data- LMD18200 H-bridge to provide 2 Amp load- 3D printed enclosure- Panel mount power jack socket- Quick connecter block for track wires
Just add power supply to have your Command Station connected to your railway layout tracks and control trains via the App.
What is different about this system ?A very simple electronic circuit provide the DCC signal and power for the track, however the App does the real work ! The computer on your phone is utilised to the full by constructing the codes required to form each packet of instructions, thus simplifying the job of the Arduino controller !

 

Full version of App available at 5.99 on Play Store

– free version with fewer features, also available.

 

The easiest ever, NMRA compliant DCC Command station !!

 

Look at the list of features below !!

 

 

High quality plated through hole PCB fully populated and soldered ready to connect to supplied Bluetooth module and H-bridge. Use the free Android App to control your digital trains.

 

 

Suitable for NMRA compatible decoders e.g. Bachmann, Lenz, Atlas, Hornby, etc

 

Free instructions and Arduino software, free ‘LocoMotive CAB’ Android App on Google Play store.

 

 

 

No need to purchase any propriety systems, this is a stand alone unit operated by an App called ‘LocoMotive’

 

Works with standard decoders.

 

This revolutionary system compiles the operating DCC packets within the App which are sent to the Arduino interface to combine with the DCC clock signals. 

 

Features include:

 

Control of 1 to 20 locosIdeal for small to medium size layouts2 Amps load drives up to 16 of OO/HO locomotives using H-bridge specifiedShort circuit protectedAutomatic over current cut-out, adjustable in Arduino codeLights and directionFunctions 1 to 8 (1 to 28 on full App)Turnout / points / accessories 8 pairs of outputs (16 on full App)Custom naming of your locosProgramming the CV1 loco addressFull App has read / write CV’s 1 to 255Add your own accessory addressesFree App – Change F2 and F3 from momentary to on/off switchesFull App has editable titles, visibility and momentary options on 28 function buttonsFull App has 4 on-screen speed bars for control of 4 locos at a timeAdd max speed for each loco

Power `supply:  Maximum voltage of 16 volts DCFor OO/HO layouts use a 15v DC power supply (e.g. laptop charger unit from eBay). Ensure correct polarity of output plug before connecting.15V 2 Amp version with a 2.1/2.5 x 5.5 mm plug, search for  eBay item # 142514174804

 
 

Do NOT use a DC train controller as these do not provide a true DC voltage.

 

For users over 14 years old.For indoor use only.
