Model Railway Series – 6 – Station Departures Board

Chris Sharp1 year ago1 year ago029 mins

In this final part of the series we will use three SSD1306 128×64 pixel OLED display modules to create the kind of display you’d find on the concourse of a mid-sized railway station. Two screens will detail departures, the third will feature a clock and train arrivals. By pulling together the code from this series,…

Model Railway Series – 1 – Passenger Information Display

Chris Sharp1 year ago1 year ago217 mins

This is the first post in a series looking at how to use a SSD1306 128×64 Pixel OLED Display Module as a passenger information display on a model railway. The screens on these modules are 22mm by 11mm. This makes them a scale size of 1.6m wide by 0.8m high at OO scale. So they…
