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

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

Mark

| (...) Hey Mark, I posted earlier in a new thread praising the greatness of this, but I have a few additional questions that I thought I'd just ad to this thread-- I converted 3 LEGO motors with the micro-controller, and now have 3 diodes (at least, (...)
