Locked S88 on DCC++ (Connected to JMRI) #arduino


 

If anyone is looking for a way to connect to S88 devices from an Arduino running DCCpp, Check out my YouTube video where you can find a GitHub link to various files.

Comments, good or bad, are welcome.


 

Interesting- I¡¯m looking to connect Lenz RS feedback bus. Any ideas on how this can be done?


 

I don't know anything about Lenz RS.? I had already invested a lot of time and money into S88 around the layout but my command station was slow and clunky so I built the Arduino-based DCC++ command station, then designed the S88 Shield and software to talk to my S88 sensors.? The same could probably be done for RS but I'm not your guy since I'm already busy getting my layout going.? If you could point me in the direction of the protocol spec, then I might be able to give some advice.


 

Kevin,
I looked into the RS protocol for a little while last night.? It looks like a serial protocol of sorts so the software would be the hardest part, and I would need an RS sensor device of some sort to test with.? I'm not wanting to invest in that since that's not the direction I'm going.? I think the shield would be fairly easy to design and build.
Maybe someone else would want to take this on???

Thanks for looking Chuck. I¡¯d love to move on from Lenz to DCC++ but I¡¯m over invested in Lenz feedback sensors. Looks like I¡¯m staying out for now!
