N-Scale Train Layout Controlled by LabVIEW Community Edition

Ben — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 22:27:44 GMT

I will be posting updates about the process of updating a N-Scale Layout that is controlled by a laptop based application to run using LabVIEW Community edition.

Steel Mill end of the layout

This video is a crude introduction to the layout as it stands today.

My first task will require I locate a USB-Serial adapter that works nicely with LV under Windows 10... but that is another thread.

Steel Mill yard

Automatic crossing gates features working crossing gates (in N-Scale!)

Future posts to this thread will include the LV source code (good or bad) and what changes I introduce to "make it better".

Bruce Chubb control logic

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

When the world returns to normal, you should visit me in Cincinnati. We could have a lot of fun at Entertrainment Junction.

And just in case you happened to visit the old continent: (not the very old one.... you know Lucy 😉 )

In Hamburg, Germany there is

Miniatur_Wunderland

No words can describe what they build up there....

Funny how they narrated 265,000 people as 265 people (2:20).

Another victim of the dreaded comma as decimal separator?
