Hi railfans. I know many of you out there use DCC. But check out this throttle I have had on the shelf for almost a year now and FINALLY got around to implementing. This thing is very easy to make work with a NCE, Digitrax, or ESU based DCC wireless setup but those can be pretty expensive. We're going to try to make it work with a sub-$100 Arduino based DCC++EX DCC command station that I put together myself.
If you want to check out how to build a DCC++ command station please check out these videos by Tom's Trains & Things and DIY & Digital Railroad.

And Lastly here is a link to where you can pick up a Protothrottle and ESU command station bridge from Iowa Scaled Engineering.

They didn't send me this stuff for review. I purchased it all with my own money. I totally dig this thing!
Great Job Shane! This throttle and the project by Geoff Bunza and friends to emulate a steam cab are pretty cool toys. :)
When I saw this thing I had to have it. I love AAR control stands. Wish I could afford a full size one, lol.
Very helpful video Shane! Thanks for posting.
Thank you, Paul! Took quite a bit of trial and error for me to get this right with DCCEX.
The audio volume is very low.
Weird. it sounds fine to me. One of these days i'll see if i can afford a dedicated microphone setup.
