Locodoco/Loco Decoder: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Version vom 8. September 2011, 08:43 Uhr

This Page is part of the Locodoco project. It currently only contains some vague notes about the planned version of the loco decoder.

List of (planned) features

Common on both Versions

SUSI interface Support
internal 3.3V logic levels (for RFM12b)
measurement of rail voltage (= option for DCC integration)
measurement of generator voltage (motor speed)
connector for IR transceiver
seperate out/inletlets for each, motor-driver and logic power supply (GoldCaps)
4 GPIO Pins
Processor: One out of Atmega8, Atmega168 and friends (all pin compatible devices)

Big version

5V power regulator, 3A
3 servo connectors
>= 3A constant Motor current
Socket for add-ons (shields)
2 N-Fets for high loads, 4A each, seperate rectifier to GND
4 additioal GPIO Pins

Small version

1A Motor current
Maximum dimensions: 22x60x10mm

Two Versions

Larger locomotives provide a "massive" amount of space and require some more Amps to drive their engine(s). While the big version of the decoder includes many features, the small version is a rather minimalistic approach.

The hardware design of both versions however is designed to be as flexible as possible, letting the user choose the components to use from a variety of parts. The Processor for example may be an Atmega8, which is rather cheap, or the more expensive Variant Atmega328.
