Our latest video covers the mLink TMP36 Sensor Module. The mLink TMP36 module is a tiny serial (I2C/IIC) device that includes a precision TMP36 temperature sensor. This alows the module to measure temperatures over a wide range of -40 to 125oC. The module continuously takes measurement from the TMP36 sensor and provides the result as…

Ever since low cost modules based on the ESP8266 wireless microcontroller came on to the market the ESP8266 has become one of the most popular ways for hobbyists to remotely control their projects. It is the combination of a low cost but powerful wireless ARM microcontroller, combined with the accessibility of the Arduino IDE that…
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,…
In this series, we are building a main passenger information display for a model railway using a SSD1306 128×64 pixel OLED display module, driven by a nano. So far we have covered how to create a departures board, a combined clock and an arrivals board. In this latest post we will revisit our departures board…
