What’s DCC++
DCC++ is an open-source hardware and software system for the operation of DCC-equipped model railroads.
This is a fork of the DCC++ Base Station code base.
The DCC++ Base Station consists of an Arduino micro controller fitted with an Arduino Motor Shield that can be connected directly to the tracks of a model railroad.
What’s in this Repository
This repository, BaseStation-Uno, contains a complete DCC++ Base Station sketch designed for compiling and uploading into an Arduino Uno. All sketch files are in the folder named DCCpp_Uno. More information about the sketch can be found in the included PDF file.
To utilize this sketch, simply download a zip file of this repository and open the file DCCpp_Uno.ino within the DCCpp_Uno folder using your Arduino IDE. Please do not rename the folder containing the sketch code, nor add any files to that folder. The Arduino IDE relies on the structure and name of the folder to properly display and compile the code.
The version on the Master branch is currently 1.2.1haba1:
- Supports both the Arduino Uno and Arduino Mega
- Built-in configuration for both the original Arduino Motor Shield as well as a Pololu MC33926 Motor Shield
- Built-in configuration and support of Ethernet Shields (for use with Mega only)
For more information on the overall DCC++ system, please follow the links in the PDF file.
Detailed diagrams showing pin mappings and required jumpers for the Motor Shields can be found in the Documentation Repository
This fork will be geared to be used together with JMRI and not as a standalone layout controller.
