Loconet interface

Loconet is a bus to control digital model railways.

Using this interface, it is possible to connect a 5v microcontroller (Arduino...) to the bus.

Moreover, this interface can:

• provide 12V to the bus (Loconet-T)
• provide bus termination (15mA costant current source)

With those functionalities, it can be used to implement a "stand-alone" Loconet configuration (i.e. without a command station).

My tutorials on Youtube about the Loconet bus, including the use of this interface to implement a Locobuffer device (i.e. a device to connect the Loconet bus to the computer via USB).

For Arduino, a Loconet library is available to communicate with other accessories (command station, throttles, sensors...) connected to the bus.
