A few months ago while reading about programming I found a forum posting on Arduino uses.

I now want to try that program which somehow measures and displays the train speed. I can't find it now.                              Can anyone point me to that posting?

I'm slow, but I'm getting there..

Thanks,

The following link describes a project to control the speed of a conventional train.

https://ogrforum.com/topic/spe...-conventional-trains

The first part of the project describes a speed sensor car that measures the speed of a train anywhere on the track and transmits the information via blue tooth to a base unit. This speed information is then used to control the track voltage to maintain a constant speed.

For testing the train speed was displayed on the Arduino video display. A different base unit could be built to display the speed of the train from anywhere on the layout.

John,

Yes, original poster deleted the Gerbers & 3D files.

Didn't catch that when I posted the YouTube link.

Here are the files I originally downloaded from the Blog.
