Its temperature, and if it gets hot, cut the power supply imediatly. So if youД¬onnect this example for the first time, hold your finger on the chip to check Switched, the Chip MCP2551 gets very hot and can get destroyed. Module has to be connected to this example upside-down as you can see in belowДЄttention: If the connections CAN High and CAN Low are Pins is opposite, because I couldn't get a real S88-connector. In above mounting instruction, the order of the S88 feedback Using above tams S88-N Adapters can be dangerous, because of reverseДЇor proper usage please read this part, and if you stillДЄll following mounting instructions are based on circuit The S88 ports access must be freed manualy by rasping the case.

Is now also added which can be 'jumpered' if needed.ДЄ guide how to solder the empty PCB with the new V2 circuit diagram can be found In addition I am using for the S88 feedback as voltageДividers the new resistor values 1,8k and 3,3k, which are giving a betterДЄn optional Terminating-Resistor for the CAN Bus with 120 Ohm This new version is using the new MCP2562 instead of the old MCP2551.ДЄdvantage is, this new chip can use 3.3V as reference, and doesn't need voltageДividers, and it's said to be more stable. V.You can order these components at this German supplier:Д«us access including S88 Feedback channel Version 2:

Secure Digital (SD) is a non-volatile memory card format for use in portable devices.ДЇreundeskreises EuropГ¤ischer Modellbahner вЂ“ FREMO e. Sending Internet Protocol (IP) datagrams to a group of interested receivers I personally prefer RJ12 because this type is easy to assemble yourself with very flexible cable, and it cannot be accidentally swapped with the RJ45 Ethernet cables. You can choose between RJ45(CAT) and RJ12(LocoNet) connector types.

Zero loss occupancy detection which can handle low and high current for large scale locos.ДЄll modules have I2C line drivers to make long cables possible. Large scale decoder which can report RFID tags scanned between the tracks. ItвЂ™s an adapter for the Adafruit PCA9685 PWM controller.ДЄlso usable for dimming LEDs (4095 steps) ДЎ6 port PWM module for controlling servos. The main module which connects directly on the RasPi GPIO header.ДЈ2 port I/O module which is compatible with all GCA interface modules. There are seven hardware modules available: Pi01 Later improvements and speed-up, together with availability of bus transcievers and buffers like used in the RocNet modules, made it possible to extend the communication lines to more than 10 meter. This hardware based communication protocoll, originated by Philips, is a 2 wire communication system between chips on the ame board. (3) I2C = IIC = Inter Integrated Circuit. (IP address changes are common when DHCP is used to assign IP addresses.) This also means that the RaspberryвЂ™s IP address can change without impact. To resolve this issue, IP-Multicast is used so that remote node communications can occur without prior knowledge of the destination IP address. (2) TCP/IP socket communications requires that the IP address of the remote node be known before communications can start. (1) SCRP = Simple Railraod Command Protocol In retrospect the Linux based Raspberry have proven to be more than just a simple controller for model railways.Д¬oupled with Rocrail/Rocnet it becomes what some call a Super-Controller. The very best of these prototypes resulted in modules available from GCA (= Giling Computer Applications). The Raspberry Pi (and its I2C bus) is a stable, robust and very capable platform. One fact became increasingly clear as a result of these experiments. While this was occurring, various other experiments were conducted by Peter and others.ДЄ variety of I2C (3) peripheral devices were tried for various functions. Rocnet, which is Multicast based, is plug-and-play. While SRCP is certainly one possibility, it lacks plug-and-play capabilities as it is TCP/IP socket (2) based. Various forum members also tried a variety of TCP/IP protocols like SRCP (1). Next came the servo/LED controller, then the other modules.

Simple, robust, and easy to implement, it was a near perfect solutionвЂ¦.and inexpensive too.

In August of 2013 the first version of a Rocnet client on the Raspberry was created.

In May of 2003 the first mention of Rocnet as a way communication between the PC and a Raspberry Pi occurred. In May of 2013 experimentation was done using a variety of communication methods. Little did anyone realize just how popular, powerful, and flexible the Raspberry Pi would be. In September 2011, before the Raspberry Pi was released, one forum member mentioned that the Raspberry Pi might make for a Rocrail server that would fit under the layout.
