Overview

Train lighting card is an open-source printed circuit board by Wireb, from the Wireb/Train_lighting_card repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 38.1 × 25.4 mm with 56 parts on 51 nets, routed with 322 tracks and 41 vias.

It is built around the PIC16F18344-E/P, LTV-354T and PMEG6010CEH,115-JSM. Its parts include 23 resistors, 14 connectors, 8 capacitors, 6 ICs and 2 diodes. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the PIC boards of this library.

What is it

The current generation of controller card supports up to 11 normal LED channels plus one "special" one that supports driving a bi-polar output. On the input side the controller will run off 6V to 60V AC or DC. (note I have NOT test this full range. I have tested 9Vac to 20Vac with no issues) It also has 4 opto-isolated inputs that will respond to ~3V to 32V AC or DC that can be used to pick one of 16 pre-programmed states.

Currently there are 7 selectable states:

  • Headlights
  • running lights
  • left turn
  • right turn
  • break lights
  • reverse lights
  • light bar flashers

Via the programing button any state, combination of states, or none can be chosen for each of the 16 combinations of the 4 inputs.

Questions

How big is the Train lighting card PCB?

It measures 38.1 × 25.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Train lighting card use?

56 parts, built around the PIC16F18344-E/P, LTV-354T and PMEG6010CEH,115-JSM. 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 Train lighting card KiCad files?

From the Wireb/Train_lighting_card repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Train_lighting_card.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Train lighting card design in my own project?

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