  • Ciao Luca, posso sapere dove posso trovare l' elenco dei componenti scheda pcb. Grazie mille

    Luca Dentella 2025-03-15 21:59:39Reply

    Ciao, trovi tutto su github, nel link indicato sopra (https://github.com/lucadentella/arduino-loconetshield)

  • Hi Luca Do you have the Shield on PCBWay as well for processing as id like to build 1 of each

    Luca Dentella 2024-03-09 18:30:31Reply

    Hi, I uploaded it but it was removed by PCBWay... don't know why. You can still download the files from my github repo and order the PCBs manually

    yes i have done that my friend. Just trying to work out the Parts list for all components of both,

  • Hola Luca. He probado tu diseño de locobuffer y cargado el sketch en un Arduino Uno. Luego he configurado Rocrail como indicas en el vídeo pero me sale siempre el mismo mensaje: Loconet interface no encontrada. El monitor serial de Arduino si funciona, pero Rocrail no lo encuentra. ¿Se puede probar sólo conectando el Arduino por USB al Rocrail, sin contestarle la placa interfaz? ¿Alguna sugerencia? Gracias de antemano y felicidades por tus vídeos!!

    Solucionado!! Uso Rocrail en Ubuntu y el usuario con el que ejecutaba Rocrail no tenía permisos para usar el puerto USB. Funciona de maravilla. Gracias!!

  • Hi Luca, Just putting together the Loconet shield board and on the schematic diagram on of the components is labelled "RS PUP" can you tell me what this component is please I cannot make it out from the picture. Also if possible can you give me a link to where I can get this component from as well? Best Regards Phil

    Luca Dentella 2023-10-15 22:50:06Reply

    Hi Phil, those are just "jumpers" to enable/disable the corresponding function: - RS_PUP to enable Pull UP termination - RS_SUPL to enable external power supply You can solder pin headers if you want the possibility to change the settings (with a jumper) or solder a wire to permanently enable/disable the function.

    Hello Luca, Thank you very much for that. I couldn't make out what it was from the picture.

  • Thank you for all your videos and technical information. I have built your Loconet interface but cannot get it to work with my Digitrax DCS210. I have tried various Arduino sketches. Could you please offer me some advice. Regards, Wally.

    Luca Dentella 2023-09-10 21:35:05Reply

    Hi Wally, this is "just" an interface: it let Arduino connect to the Loconet bus. So everything depends on the Arduino sketch you wrote. First of all, please check that the PINs used for TX/RX in your sketch, library are the same you connected to the interface: this is a very popular mistake. Then try the most simple sketch I wrote, LnPowerControl (in the github repo linked above): this should let you control the power status of your command station using a button connected to your Arduino

    I have used the Loconet library control pane and have also tried various other sketches many times with the same result. I am able to receive messages on the Arduino from my Digitrax throttle and JMRI using RX on the interface module but cannot send messages to JMRI from the Arduino on TX. Is there some problem with Digitrax or some setting I need to change. I will try the circuit you mentioned above. Regards, Wally.

    Engineer 2023-09-15 20:39:42Reply

    Thank you Luca. I have tried you sketch as suggested but the TX does not work. The RX works with no problem. How can I send you pictures of my module to make sure I have done everything correctly. Regards, Wally.

    Engineer 2023-09-22 12:58:11Reply

    Just to inform you that I have My Loconet working properly. Regards, Wally.

    Luca Dentella 2023-09-26 03:40:41Reply

    Thanks for the update Wally, glad you solved the issue! May I ask you what was the problem?

    Engineer 2023-09-26 17:31:49Reply

    Thanks Luca, I had the transistor the wrong way around. I have had help from the Arduino user group in developing a servo turnout sketch with pushbuttons and eeprom. I now trying to get it to work with the loconet. Wally
