The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

I'm trying to get block detection working on my HO scale model railroad. I found this page and liked the idea of using current transformers to detect the Digital Command Control signal inducing ...

Starting a model railroad club, like the Waukesha County Gandy Dancers did in the 1980s, now requires extra dedication and strategic planning in the 21st Century. Lucas Iverson For as long as there ...

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Union Pacific wants to buy Norfolk Southern in a $85 billion deal that would create the first transcontinental railroad in the U.S, potentially triggering a final wave of rail ...

Do you like Lionel, Marx, MTH, K-Line, Menards, and other 3-rail O gauge trains? Do you like big trains but have a small budget? This is the channel for you! Novices are welcome here! I received my ...

This paper describes the development and implementation of a control system for a direct current (DC) motor using the Arduino Uno microcontroller, based on the speed and direction control of the motor ...

Abstract: LPG is an alternative fuel used for daily use. Due to its low cost and ease of installation. This article covers an Arduino-based gas detection system that uses an Arduino UNO R3 board and ...

Arduino Nicla Sense Env is a new sensor module with temperature, humidity, and gas (TVOC, NO2, O3) sensing that follows the launch of the Arduino Nicla Sense ME (Motion & Environment) module over ...

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

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.
