Lego train level crossing 7835 fully automated by Arduino

Lego train level crossing automated by Arduino. Another lego train crash at the lego train level crossing! It turns out that the guy working there just wants to relax all day long. Only one solution: automating the thing!

This video shows a level crossing which is automated by Arduino. When the sensor detects a train, the barriers are closed and the lights start flickering. As long as the sensor detects the train, the barriers remain closed. Once the train has passed the sensor, a delay prevents the barriers to open too soon. As actuators I have used the vintage 12V actuators that are also used in the Lego 7866 double level crossing set (also automated in this video).

The AlmightyArjen KZbin channel is about Lego train related videos. I sometimes automate Lego trains, or make a stop motion video or I just setup a huge Lego train layout in the living room. Do you have (reasonable) video suggestions? Please let me know!

Terminator is an adult film. Kids should not get the reference (even though they may have watched it, ignoring the rating), and it was such a brief part of the video anyway. I believe this is NOT for kids 👍

Little did that crossing guard know, Arnold actually doomed his job by creating robots that will soon turn against humans and start the Apocalypse.

[@almightyarjen]

Yeah, who would know it all started with an automated level crossing :D

Love seeing these 😆 but get rekt too 😆

[@YuvrajSingh-yr4pk]

very nice lego set

[@alexshepherd]

Am I the only person to wonder, at 2:25, how the 12V rubber-tyred motor appears to be running on metal 9V tracks with no central conductor rail…?

[@almightyarjen]

There's a PF battery box in the first passenger waggon.

[@EvolutionofFamous]

I love your videos but can you tell me what music you used in your video.

[@almightyarjen]

What was your idea again?

[@anniekageson-loe8990]

AlmightyArjen having a railway running through a forest and have a station in the forest

[@almightyarjen]

Ah yeah the jungle train! I had written down the idea. Maybe somewhere in the future. Would be a bit costly, I don't have any lego jungle sets (yet)

Cool vid, deserves a like, but because I wanted to see instructions for this build, wanted to dislike, so at the end of the day, I am leaving this video unvoted because the reasons cancel out.

Geweldig om te zien Arjen.

My son is wanting those set because of this video ☺

[@almightyarjen]

Ah I'm sorry for that; this set is quite expensive these days! :D

[@legozuge908]

Nice video ! and how do you do the zoom ? i mean when the trains are fast but it is a slow zoom

[@almightyarjen]

I built a small lego car that rides very slowly and put the camera on top of it

[@sidelinx7873]

This is so cool!! Where did you get the supplies?

[@almightyarjen]

You can get it on dx.com, under arduino supplies

[@MrAlex-ej8ov]

You got a Sprinter train now, too! Cool!

[@almightyarjen]

Yeah, if you want to see it a bit better, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5XGe6p-gd2LrqM

AlmightyArjen thanks!

[@theosluckymummy]

great vid cool crossings

[@BrickBakery]

Hah - really like the voice work here! Is it the same guy or different people doing those?

[@almightyarjen]

Thanks. All voices are indeed done by the same guy except for the Terminator, that was done by another one.

[@BrickBakery]

That guy sure is talented! :-D

[@Kasmuller]

You should make it start blinking a while before the things ( idk what they are called in english) go down, like on real crossings. So nobody gets caught between them and get hit by a train

[@almightyarjen]

Correct. But then I need to put the sensor further away as the barriers need time to close. This was not practical in this layout

[@Kasmuller]

AlmightyArjen ok, maybe another time

I am working on a similar project with the Arduino. Great job, also great video editing skill and sense of humor

[@revylo2251]

Are the octan locomotive a moc or a set

[@almightyarjen]

It's an MOC but heavily based on the 7755 set

[@chrisgalvin1764]

This looks amazing! I need to get that Lego train stuff.

[@ronantrannoy1939]

Are you going to make an another video. Where you explain the different part of the level crossing you use. I want to do the same with pf train and hide the system in the mils module

[@almightyarjen]

That was not the idea. Maybe this video will help, it's an explanation of a rail crossing, more or less the same concept: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqKvhoiOjMyVl5Y

[@MayoHosko]

if the crossing guards level crossing is automated, shouldn't the controller of the railway network sack them

[@almightyarjen]

The railway network doesn't know (yet) ;)

[@masonmtb7]

the gates need to go down a little bit earlier

[@almightyarjen]

That is easily done by moving the sensor a bit further :)

what sensor is used to detect the train?

[@almightyarjen]

This one: www.pololu.com/product/1132 . I totally recommend it: it's very stable, unlike the cheap ones you find on dx.com.
