MattzoSensorController

I tried a different plate to hold the hull sensor parallel to the tracks and until now it is working very well.
Using 11458 – “Lego Plate, Modified 1×2 with Pin Hole on Top” for the sensor and 63864 – “Tile 1×3” to hold 11458 to the rail ties.

Enjoy!

Hello Everyone,

I’m having some trouble with the sensorcontroller. Up to 7 sensors it works ok, as soons as I connect sensor 8 , the control-led turns on and does not go off.
I think that I have connected everything ok, sensor 1-7 to D1-7 and ground, sensor 8 to D8 and 3v3. and also the control-led to D0 and gnd.
I tried another sensor but the same effect.
Any ideas??

Greetings,

Paul

Argh !! Never mind, fixed it !
Me not doing basic troubleshooting, and me using el-cheapo chinese components was the problem.
3! sensors in a row were defective, so using my multi-meter, testing before soldering yet another one did the trick.
Lesson learned (again): never assume, make sure!

BTW love the idea above from Nikos !

Greetings,

Paul

Thank you Paul!

By the way, I got my sensors from Amazon and I did not have any issues with them:

Ich habe für mein Spur-G-Testprojekt den Sensorcontroller fertig gebaut:

Auslösermagnet unter der “Lok” Neodym 3 * Ø6mm, dicke 2mm (entspricht Ø6*6 mm);

Sensor in Legostein zwischen den Schwellen, fest genug und doch und bewegbar, wenn es sein muss:

Funktioniert 🙂

Mein “Projekt” ist fertig.

Wie schon erwähnt, MattzoBricks Lego Automation hat mich fasziniert!
Aber ich habe keine Lego Züge. Ich wollte es aber trotzdem ausprobieren. So habe ich das Projekt etwas geändert (in den Äusserlichkeiten), und auf Spur G als Test umgesetzt. Hier ist ein Bericht über den Bau der “Rückmelder”.
