You can use either a common 4-digit display designed to work with Arduino projects (available from Ebay etc) or a re-used display from a Gotek Disk drive (again from Ebay etc).

Nov 6, 2016 · The guys at the Model Railroad Club wanted a scale speedometer displaying the scale speed of the train as it passes a point on the layout. I'm using two IR transceivers connected to an …

By placing a digital speedometer along a section of track, hobbyists can accurately gauge how fast their trains are moving in scale miles per hour (SMPH). This is particularly important for prototypical …

In this first part, I show you how to construct your own model train speedometer for less than $20. In the second part, I will show you how to load a program into the Arduino to make the ...

Here are videos of the train speedometer being tested. In the videos, you will see a red LED on the Arduino turn on when one sensor has detected the passing train, and the speedometer is waiting for …

Oct 24, 2022 · We cover all scales and sizes of model railroads. Online since 2002, it's one of the oldest and largest model railroad forums on the web. Whether you're a master model railroader or just …

To avoid accidental shutdown or reset the timers, during the "LAPS/AVG" displayed, clicking on the "scale/options" button is ignored. To enter the "Speedometer" mode, at any time you can hold on...

Ever wondered how fast your model trains go? Here’s a way to measure the speed of your trains on your model railway. As electronics projects go, this speedometer from trainelectronics.com is one of …

A Arduino based project that measures and displays a model train's scaled speed.

Two infrared sensors are used to pick up trains rolling by and measuring the milliseconds it takes from one to the other sensor. It works automaticly and bi-directional.
