The Bergen County Model Railroad Club holds an annual train show in Pearl River, NY. The display consists of various layouts and takes nearly a month to set up. Every year from mid-February to early ...

This paper describes the development and implementation of a control system for a direct current (DC) motor using the Arduino Uno microcontroller, based on the speed and direction control of the motor ...

Add a description, image, and links to the model-railroad-arduino topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

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.

For 88 years, model trains have chugged along inside a nondescript building, kept going by a small fleet of diehard hobbyists. Beneath a Walker’s Point railroad bridge that crosses National Avenue is ...

Abstract: COVID-19 and its genetic mutations pose a challenge to the world and affect the economic system of countries. Recently, countries were forced to reduce restrictions on airports, universities ...

Thermal cameras can cost well into the five-figure range if you’re buying high-resolution models with good feature sets. New models can be so advanced that their export and use is heavily controlled ...

The simplicity of operating with a DC power pack like this MRC Tech7 is just one of several reasons to use DC block control on your model railroad. Though Digital Command Control may be the wave of ...

In the realm of DIY electronics, the Arduino UNO has emerged as a versatile platform for a myriad of projects. One such innovative project is the creation of a low-cost thermal camera, as demonstrated ...
