It has come to me that we are possibly on a more common path than I had realized. My goal is to get to a module that is analogous to what the Field ...
Hi Alex, Try to convince me why LocoNet is technically acceptable, I'm willing to learn. I could even get on board. The first hurdle to cross is ground...
... Convince you! You must be joking! :))) Chuck my layout is only 7 m long - the LCB could probably run on damp string! ... Although there seem to be quite...
Hi Alex, OK, in this venue, I'll be quiet about LocoNet. It is simply another connector glob on an OmniPort. Some of the detail in your other remarks caused me...
... Well maybe I used the wrong term - I mean the dumb little 8 pin RS485 interface chip that has the tristatable RX/TX line driver in it that you can enable...
Hi- What language do you speak? We could try some translation engines, but I do not know one for Corsican! What do you want to do with the OmniPort board? The...
Hi I speak french and a little english. Sorry for my english language Corsican language is close to italian language. I have make locobuffer and locoio last...
From where I can become some boards - or better - the PCB-File of this very interesting Hardware- and Software Concept? I´m an electronic and computerengineer...
Hi Wolfgang- OmniPort info is at http://omniport.dpharris.ca/ There are two kinds of boards, very similar: 1/ one based on the 18 pin PIC 16F873/6 or...
Hi All_ I have some queries as to connectors, and other parts: 1/ Polyswitch: These are resetable fuses -- just to be safe. You can leave it out out if you...
Hi All- I have successfully ported LocoLinx to my ATMega8 based AVR OmniPort boad. This required moving the Loconet interface to ADC0 and ADC1, using the ...
Hi Guys, Well my first OmniPort PIC PCB is operational in that I have wired up the power supply and the LocoNet side of things, programmed the PIC with Hans ...
Hi All- An 8 channel accessory decoder with a built in CDU has been tested. This is to drive 8 dual-coil switch machines, such as the Pecos. This requires...
Hi, David has suggested the ST ULN2803 as a Darlington isolator for driving loads out of the PIC. Since we will be driving four relays, the ULV2062B looks...
Hi, This is our latest thinking on the project. It includes the Micro-Chip MPC23016 (maybe even two of them) to deal with LED firing and switch scanning. This...
Chuck -- Sounds good. Can you not automate the track polarity somehow for the Grand Junction? Are you running DC or DCC? Might be as simple as knowing where...
Hi David, Sorry, I can't read my own handwriting ULN2064B http://us.st.com/stonline/books/pdf/docs/1534.pdf OK? ================== Chuck Card in sunny Arizona ...
Hi David, More politics than anything else. The guy who installed the table gets really excited when anybody looks at it. What we have in mind is to have the...
We are discussing this idea. It should easily fit into our OmniPort scheme with a big PIC18F. Turntable panel has two buttons for each track. One for Cabin End...
Hi, I was going to address this to a different audience, but decided to start here. Locally we are involved in bringing a group up to speed doing local node ...
Hi Chuck, ... This dilemma is why I favour having the interfaces separate to the main processor board, probably on a SPI or a I2C bus or both of necessary....
Hi All- Well, had a flurry of interest in the last weeks, so now there are boards in: Austria(3), Australia (5), New Zealand (3), Germany (8), France (2), and...
Hi David, Wonderful! Gee, I wonder if the UK could be penetrated if we collaborated on doing an actual RPIC/OmniPort as an example? I am thinking of taking the...
... That'll change shortly. When work lets up, I'm planning to try out both the PIC and AVR versions. I put the UK absence down to a feeling (of mine) that DCC...
