Willem.

the PCBA's I ordered as inspired by Geoff Bunza's IDEC concept. Like I wrote in my previous entry: a bit wider, a bit shorter but with an Arduino Pro Mini on board. And of course a DCC input with optical isolation.

As you can see in the files attached I added a second part to the design with some resistors and holes. This is for easily connecting Led's or switches.

Next is getting some connectors on them and testing. I'll write about that later.

Then to get involved with Arduino's and the like - they're very addictive and I love it!

The first time I discovered those little devils was when I read a post written by Geoff Bunza here in MRH. It was his SMA12 blog post (17 Channel Configurable Multifunction $5 DCC Decoder For Servos) and soon after his other posts were found, very interesting stuff altogether.
