I know some have done a lot with arduino, but I was wondering if some could help me get a sketch for a nano or other small arduino together that would monitor the serial line in the engine and say see the whistle data and activate a whistle steam smoke unit? You could also do any function or multiple. With the prices and scarcity of R2LC from Lionel and the cost of R4LC from ERR, I think an arduino would fit the bill at this time.
I’m new to arduino, but have PLC experience. I’ve done basic sketches to replicate firebox flicker and cab light control. I need a helping hand on this if possible.
Thank You
