My Son has a train table, I am a programmer by trade (And a bit of a technophile), therefore combining the Raspberry PI the train table seemed to be a good fit.
I am writing this to be easy to use (P2), and stable (P0) and fast (P1).
As I get further along I will post wiring diagrams of what I am doing, so others can copy or expand upon it.
Right now I am working on 2 major things:
- Task and a Task Library to control things like LEDs, Servo Motors, etc
- An occupancy library that can read from sensors to detect when a section of track is occupied and run tasks (Lower cross gates, blink LEDs, etc.)
Enjoy! Contribute!
Thanks to the folks at SysProgs for proving me a reduced price copy of VisualGDB for working on this project. Excellent product, if you do Pi, I suggest it.
