Is this something standard that I don't know about? But I have not found any explanation for the rest of the code. The cryptic names have a kind of encoding that is somewhat consistent R = resistor, C = capacitor, etc. I agree that the 3D renderings are essential to working out the PCB design. Please feel free to offer any advice that you think may help me along in this endeavor. From there I found an Arduino component library that I have also downloaded for use with the program. There is also a DipTrace forum available that may be helpful with specific questions.

To this end, I am just getting my feet wet and will require lots of help.Īt this point, I have downloaded and installed the freeware version of DipTrace and am reviewing the tutorial and help system topics. These include ABS signaling, block control, and automated train operations. My plan is to make use of DipTrace to integrate an Arduino Nano with various other components for certain model railroad projects that I have in mind. I am just getting started with DipTrace and am in need of some guidance from the members of this forum who have more experience with this tool Gunrunnerjohn, Tom (aka rtr12), and Mjcat have already offered some good advice. This is a continuation of a discussion that developed from an older thread called "Semaphore and 555 Timer Circuit" that seems to have meandered away from its original topic. It is a two different level of difficulty.I've decided to open this new thread about PCB (printed circuit board) design using the DipTrace program. Even simple wiring, placing resistor and capacitors are hard for them as they dont know how to read the datasheet (Arduino modules settled all).įor manager who are going to hire Arduino expert, please hire the one that wrote the library, instead of the one who use the library. They able to do a lot of fancy stuffs but they have no fundamentals and cant even read & set a register. Or learn to change the library source code.įor new beginner, Arduino is good, but as you want to advancing, many people failed.įor my case, I saw most Arduino user unable to switch the role from user to developer. If the library is in C, user can go and read then decide to pass what parameters to funtion. I am prefering they had written the library in C for C18 or XC8 instead of Arduino style. Althought, they tried to write the library for ciku but we have Arduino for that. However the tutorial provided is teaching how to add offset to your program, you guys are free to try.ģ.5/5 - mostly because I get this for 50 percent discount.Ĭytron is a hardware company and it is a good idea that they provide same form factor as Arduino. I need to add offset for my program, which I dont want to do that, so I going to stop here.
