To meet my own needs and in response to a number of past threads inquiring about PICAXE based DCC decoders for model railways, I present my own PICAXE based DCC Accessory Decoder.
Developed initial on a breadboard and I have subsequently constructed a couple on prototyping boards which are working successfully in so far as my intentions for use on a DCC controlled model railway.
The attached document explains the basis of DCC command signals, why I have followed the scheme that I have and the basic structure of the programs in the two PICAXE chips used for each DCC Accessory Decoder.
Included also is a photo of my prototyping board modules.
In following posts I will provide some versions of the BASIC programs for the two PICAXE chips.
