Demonstration of Ex-IOExpander for use with DCC-EX CommandStation

Here's a practical real layout experiment using Ex-IOExpander to control 62 sensors per Arduino Mega. Demonstrating long Ethernet cable run of 50 feet all together on one I2C bus.

Howdy Bill! Yeah... looks intimidating as hell... lol. But your tutorials help quite a bit. I'd like to use DCC-EX on my shelf layout - it will be themed for 'last mile' switching. Well done and thanks for sharing 🤠

That'll be interesting to see when you get it up and running. Are you doing a video?

@@BillMastersMRR I'm hoping to! I'm still at the 'figuring out what my track plan will be based on the space I have to work with' stage. I think I need to quit screwing around and at least build the base (it will be free standing) so I can lay out some ideas. I kinda need to see it to understand it better. If that makes sense.
