You Need This Tool In Your Train Room - Uncovering Electrical Issues
Sometimes there are hidden problems right before your eyes. You just have to dig a little to find them in older houses. I've had 3 new construction houses and 3 existing houses since the mid 70's. This is the first one that I uncovered enough issues, not only in electrical, but plumbing, irrigation and landscaping to last a lifetime.
There is one important tool I will discuss that is a must if your going to do any electrical work in your house.

In between the workbench Wednesday live streams I've been keeping myself busy with updates to the layout in the train room. Here is a recap of what I did in the past week

Here I show you all the components and the reasoning behind my madness of building the Command Station to support EX-RAIL on my Test Track!
This will be a multi-part series, this is the hardware portion. Future videos will include:
* Software sequence code for the automation
* Adding more automation
* What's new in Version 5.0 when it's released

One of my viewers was having an issue connecting his DCC++ base station to JMRI. His base station was working correctly and even sent me a video of what he was doing. I replied to him with instructions on what to look for and do for both the base station and JMRI.
His next email was shocking. I think I burned up my Arduino, I can't reprogram it! He decided to get another Arduino Uno and Motor Shield.
Again, he was having issues. JMRI would not recognize his loco. This is good, at least the base station is working correctly, he only needs to know how to find his locos decoder from the list in Decoder Pro. I gave him some pointers as to finding the correct decoder.
Wrong! His next email was just like another one he sent. He said he thinks he burned up his Uno & Motor Shield. What was he doing that he isn't telling me?????
He finally sent me 2 Uno's and 2 Motor Shields. Not the knock offs, but actually Arduino products.
This is where we start with this video.

In this Shout Out Monday Evening, we cover Arduino quite extensively because our subject today has many electronic projects with Arduino. Continuing with the Power Supply Theme, we need gadgets (Arduino)for our Model Railroad that can be run from the power supplied from our power supply. This is what this Shout Out Monday Evening is covering. The Acronym is SOMEONE; Shout Out Monday Evening Opportunities Never End.

In keeping with the theme from last week of channels I followed pre Toms Trains And Things, this one is from the Steel City, the Bugh, the place I call home. DJsTrains is who I'm talking about tonight. He models some of the tracks I used to sit on the hill side watching the trains go by. I had my choice of looking over the river to Mckeesport or walking a mile the other direction to the yard in Duquesne.

This Video Covers LED's, Resistors, Ohms law and how they all are connected to get the best fit for you. Here I show you how different value resistors change the Amperage & Intensity of the light from our LED's.
I also show the change in Amperage while increasing the resistance in the circuit with these LED's. I also compare the Amperage drawn between different color LED's.
