Amp Meter for DCC EX (Video#103)
An accurate measurement of the track current would be a useful feature for any command station. Since the DCC EX command interface provides a function for current reporting, I thought it would be no big deal to add an amp meter to the RedHat Shield web page and update it say every half a second or so.

leds-for-the-control-panel-(video-30)
A much desired feature for a control panel is indicator lamps that show switch positions, track occupancy statuses and more. Today, I will add LED strips to the picture frame control panel and introduce two additional libraries to keep track of all track related statuses and implement LED indicators.

8 AMP
8-amp.-power-shield-load-test-(video
I already knew that the PowerShield can provide lots of power even over extended periods of time, but since I recently changed the design to use individual chips instead of the IBT-2 board, I thought it was a good idea to show you the new board and then do a load test to find out how it performs.

DCC++
dcc++ex-as-loconet-command-station
Since you are interested in model railroad electronics you probably have heard about the DCC++EX project. The goal of the project is to take a simple Arduino Uno board, add a power circuit to it and use it to run model trains via DCC. In this video I am going to show how to make DCC++ a full blown LocoNet command station so you can connect your existing LocoNet devices.

As part of the development work for the RedHat++ Shield, I have restructured the way how the IoTT Stick connects to command sources via Wifi. And I have implemented the IoTT Stick’s WiThrottle server. See how everything works.
