Raspberry Pi Pico W - model railway departure sign with Wireless connectivity to railroad automation
hs is a version of my model railway departure boards designed for use with a Raspberry Pi Pico W. This is an alternative to my Raspberry Pi version of the model railway departure board (http://www.penguintutor.com/projects/....
This is part of my projects on building an indoor (OO Scale) and outdoor (G-Scale) model railway The FreeCAD design is based around G-Scale, but it would be possible to create a smaller version for other railways.
This project creates a station departure board using a miniature OLED display. This is controlled using a Raspberry Pi Pico W which allows the current time to be used to make the display appear more realistic. This can be used in conjunction with the Raspberry Pi Model Railway Automation project (http://www.penguintutor.com/projects/...)
