Märklin
compatible & programmable
with a magnet!
One
area that many model train enthusiasts have never been totally happy
with is the lighting of coaches. Until now. The lighting controller
described in this article is a combination of an SMD LED strip and a
PIC12F683 for compatibility with the Märklin system. The LEDs
allow
easy adaptation to different colours while three different lengths of
the board enable the project to fit all common coach types. The
controller can be assigned an address without removing it from the
coach.
