It has taken much longer than expected to post this latest update. Additions include traffic control lights as well as the building, programming and installation of electronic platform destination boards and construction of a central railway station modelled on the Sydney Central Station building.
Below are some technical details:
Model Scale: HO
Train system control: DCC
Train automation software: TrainController
Moving vehicles: Faller Car System
Cyclists & yacht: Magnorail
Building Lights: LED bulbs and SMD LEDs
Bar and Grill Sign: NeoPixels (providing rainbow colour cycle effect)
Shop Front Lights: Miller Engineering
Room lights controllers: Over 10 Arduino Uno microprocessors
Sound Effects 4 Arduino Uno microprocessors each with mini MP3 player play sounds for lake, church chimes, hotel music, platform announcements
Drive-In controller: Raspberry Pi (Buster with Kodi) microcomputer
Drive-In Voice Activation: Software based on GassistPi by Shivasiddharth
Platform screens: 3D printed screen cases with screens controlled by 4 Arduino Nano microprocessors linked to an Arduino reading DCC signals from TrainController
Train traffic signals: 3D printed posts with LEDs controlled by 8 Arduino Uno microprocessors reading DCC signals from TrainController
Central Station Construction: Scratch-built, laser cut styrene and 3mm MDF, 3D printed balustrades
Central Station Effects: Lighting controlled by 6 Arduino microprocessors, one of which also generates the clock chimes. A NodeMCU microprocessor connects to the home WiFi to connect to the internet (NTP server) to access internet time in order to set the correct time for the chimes.
Videoing details:
Overhead view: WiFi security camera
Scenery views: Smartphone & other cameras
Cab view: DJI Osmo Pocket camera
