   Hello All,

I’ve completed a new bit of firmware that enables the RCX to act as a DCC Command Station. For those who are not familiar, DCC (short for Digital Command Control) is a means of sending electrical signals over model railroad tracks to control DCC equipped locomotives and accessories.

Here’s the URL for the firmware download and all the juicy details:

Here is a “teaser” look:

(by clicking the top picture, it will bring you straight to the brickshelf folder, which is pending approval).

I know its nothing remarkable, but I had (well still having) fun making the change-over.

Thanks, Ben
