About this title

Synopsis

This book provides very basic ideas for the model railroad enthusiast to develop automated signal projects. Most of these projects are HO scale, however there is one G scale semaphore signal. It also provides the basics on using and programming the Arduino micro-controller. These projects are great starting points for projects that specifically fit the model railroader’s own system. If interested in more advanced projects please see our Arduino Intermediate Model Railroad projects.

About the Author

Paul Bradt has a BS in Computer Science from University of Houston Clear Lake. He has worked as a contractor developing various computer program types. He has experimented with the Arduino system and believes it to be an excellent tool for developing an understanding of how electronic components and hardware interact in integrated systems, and it is useful as a teaching aid in learning the basics of computer programming. He likes to perform sophisticated troubleshooting of computer problems and has found that the online resources associated with Arduino can be a great help for novice users to get their experiments operating quickly and effectively. David Bradt has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from New Mexico State University with many years of experience at NASA and in the Petrochem Industry. He is also a model railroader and enjoys adding realistic features to his compact HO layout. This is the third book the authors have collaborated on. The first book is titled Arduino Heat Transfer Science Fair Projects and the second book is titled Arduino Force Pressure and Acceleration Science Fair Projects
