Projects & Components

A look at Arduino projects and some of the thought process behind them.

As a lot of the projects I have built are linked to Model Railway Control I have split the projects into 2 sections.

Non Model railway Projects

Model Railway Control and Effects

In this lesson I will go through the steps and considerations when choosing sensors for a project, in this case a speedometer for a model railway. The project will use the LCD screen from lesson 17, a debounced button from Lesson 5 and the IR sensors from Lesson 7.	Download the code for Lesson 18 Click image for larger version
