| Thanks Philippe, I wasn't sure of the characteristics of the Cybermaster touch sensors. Also, I didn't want anyone thinking it was OK to use this guy: (URL) checking the resistance (yeah, I know it looks different, but you never know... :-) Mark (...)

| (...) All touch sensors I measured have a "pressed" resistance between 400 and 600 ohms (depends on touch sensors and on pressure, more pressure meaning lower resistance). Actually there is no separated resistor, you get the internal resistance of (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| Hi All, One of the features of the LDCC firmware is the ability to read the configuration variables out of a DCC decoder installed in a train motor. In order to do this, you need to connect a small circuit consisting of one or two resistors from the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jun-03, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| (...) That would be ideal, IMHO. It would allow, among other things, LNP to be used for PC to LDCC communication. At IndyLUG, we've been wishing for DCC L-gauge since inception. The word "thanks" simply doesn't cover it, Mark. Congratulations on (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

| Hi Ralph, I should be able to extract the source for the low level driver routines this week. If anyone else is interested, please email me. Note for BrickOS users: it's not simply a matter of plonking the routines into a program. The kernel will (...)

| Mark, would it be possible to share the code of your DCC controller, I am the author of pbForth and would love to add the driver to the pbForth library. I've also got a servo driver in pbForth already. Too bad Hitechnic is out of business. Their (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

One way is to mount one or more magnets on the underside of the train with their N-S pole oriented across the width of the train (to differentiate it from the couplers of just any old train) and then sense these specially-marked train cars (...)
