We continue our series looking at how to use a SSD1306 128×64 pixel OLED display module on a model railway. In this part we will be making an Arrivals board. The information we need for arrivals is very similar to that for our departures board. We will be adapting the departures code to create the…
This series is looking at how to use a SSD1306 128×64 pixel OLED display module as a passenger information display on a model railway. The first in the series created a train departures display. The second a clock to keep time. We are going to combine these two to create a dynamic departures board that…
This series looks at how to use a SSD1306 128×64 pixel OLED display module as a passenger information display on a model railway. The first post in the series created a train departures display. We now move on to creating and displaying a clock. It is possible to fit a real time clock module to…
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…
Hey! We’ve added a new Sensor Module to our exclusive SmartRFy range and wanted to share it here for those who don’t see our facebook/twitter/IG posts. Enjoy! The SmartRFy sensor module adds the option to remotely monitor various sensors via a SmartRFy network connection. The sensor module includes a temperature and humidity sensor (DHT22) and…
The ‘Black Pill’ range of development boards offer an amazing level of features and processing power when compared to the popular Arduino range of development boards. Even some of the higher end Arduino boards such as the Due simply can’t compete when it comes to raw processing power, memory and features, and yet these little…
Back in 2015 we wrote an install guide for the Arduino IDE, as there are no current plans for new versions of Windows to be released, we decided now would be a good time to update that guide. The first step is to download a copy of the Arduino development environment. This can be downloaded…
Arduino development boards are great devices for embedded control. At the low end are the low cost ATMega328 based Arduinos, such as the Uno, Nano, and Pro Mini. At the other end of the scale there are the high priced but more powerful Arm based devices, such as the Due. But sometimes your application may…
Wemos Triple Base The Wemos triple base (HCWEMO0016) is designed to allow a Wemos shield to be connected to a Wemos D1 board without having to use the normal stacking method. This is useful when you have multiple shields that are not suited for stacking together such … View product Wemos Dual Base The Wemos…
