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,

Below is a link to a YouTube page by "All Things Bobot". It details how to construct a train speedometer including the Arduino and Gerber files to print a housing for the speedometer.

I built a display using Bobot's files and it works and looks great on my board.
Hope this helps,

I don't see the Gerber files for the board or the 3D file for the display housing, where did he hide that?
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.
