| + | ===== Description ===== | ||
| + | In Arduino world, there are many useful designs for Railroad.\\ | ||
| + | Here is a shield for Arduino Uno to be used as a simple and cheap DCC accessory decoder.\\ | ||
| + | It is based on the MARDEC design of Nico Teering.\\ | ||
| + | MARDEC means **M**ultifuntional **AR**duino dcc **DEC**oder.\\ | ||
| + | See https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2ZutrHx-0kQUgmlaIxWwYw \\ | ||
| + | This shield enables you to use interface boards like GCA76, GCA77, GCA173 and many others. \\ | ||
| + | Though MARDEC has many very useful options, it is just as described a accessory Decoder.\\ | ||
| + | Which means that for feed-back you still will need LocoNet, CBUS or RocNet to establish that.\\ | ||
| + | Also, unlike most other DCC decoders, it is not programmable via DCC commands.\\ | ||
| + | It needs its own program to do that and is done by connecting the USB port to your computer.\\ | ||
| + | How this is done, is explained in the Mardec manual, but up until now only in dutch.\\ | ||
| + | The software itself runs completely in english language.\\ | ||
| + | Complete program for Arduino Nano, and the manual are available by googling 'MARDEC.ZIP'.\\ | ||
| + | The G-ASH03 is now available.\\ | ||
| + | If you are interested: just download the MARDEC.zip, and unpack it anywhere on your PC. | ||
| + | Then run the ArCoMora file, and install it in a map of your choice.\\ | ||
| + | This shield has a opto-isolated input for DCC signals, but can also be supplied from DCC power\\ | ||
| + | just by setting the two jumpers.\\ | ||
| + | With jumpers set, DO NOT CONNECT any power source to PWR1 connector! ! !\\ | ||
