DigitalTrainController

This repository contains all the sourcecode as well as the KiCad project for the Digital Train Controller i built for my dad's model train.

For more info about this project, check out my blog: http://michaelteeuw.nl/tagged/trainautomator

Feel free to use this code and PCB project, but keep in mind that it comes without ANY form of support. :)

Questions

How big is the TrainAutomator PCB?

It measures 99.7 × 50.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the TrainAutomator use?

42 parts, built around the SP3481CN-L and LM7805. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the TrainAutomator KiCad files?

From the MichMich/DigitalTrainController repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/KiCad/TrainAutomator.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the TrainAutomator design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask MichMich before reusing the design.
