Last Week

• Code a basic program to send DCC signals to the
  train depending on the measured voltages from the
  sensor
• Tuesday Lab (Morning)
• Code another program to measure values from four
  photocells
• Tuesday Lab (Afternoon)
• Combine the two programs
• Thursday Lab (All day)

4
Current Week

• Get my last test program to work
• Problem with DCC signal
• Tweaking with my sensors
• All 4 sensors need to be as close together as
  possible

My Test Programs

• Sensorx (working)
• Program to test one photocell
• Display on LCD
• Used with test track
• Sensor4x (working)
• Program to test four photocells
• Display voltages on LCD

7
My Test Programs

• Autodecouple (not working)
• Exclusively for Automatic Decoupling
• Voltage from photocell circuit will change train
  speed
• Decouple (working)
• Manual Decoupling Testing
• Automatic Decoupling Testing

8
Whats Next?

• Mounting the sensors on the layout
• Test program will tell where to
• Coding
• Lots of assembly coding
• And more coding
