There are many ways to use an Arduino on a model railroad. These tiny, inexpensive, programmable computers can perform functions such as controlling signals, routing turnouts, and running animations.

This project started as a way to combine two hobbies: Model Railways and Computer Programming. It seemed to us that these should be a natural fit. By combining the two you should be able to program ...

It is pretty easy to go to a big box store and get a digital speedometer for your bike. Not only is that no fun, but the little digital display isn’t going to win you any hacker cred. [AlexGyver] has ...

This is an Arduino Pro Mini project for correcting a speedometer when you change tire size or differential gearing. It was initially designed for a Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006). It may also work on ...

[Martyn] is restoring a 32-year-old Honda motorcycle, so when the ancient speedometer broke last year he thought it was prime time to start of a digital speedometer project. We’re loving the results ...

Paul and David Bradt’s Ardiono Projects offers multiple ways to use Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers for your model railroading projects. Buy the book here. Code for Button/Blink Test (SN095) ...

Code for Button/Blink Test (SN095) – Chapter 1, page 11 This code is basic but allows the reader to gain insight into key elements for several other projects in this book. It combines two pieces of ...
