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 ...

Way back when, before diesel-electric locomotives were a thing, trains weren’t really able to go backwards too well. Also it’s sometimes necessary to turn carriages around in a small space. For that, ...

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 ...
