Track Detectors |

Posted by Broadway Lion on Sun Dec 13 21:43:02 2009 I was just fixing a computer, and replaced an old fashioned mouse with a new optical mouse. All of a sudden, the idea came to me: This thing has electronics in it, and it can detect movement. Maybe some of the geniuses at subchat could design for me a program that would allow this electronics to detect TRAINS on my layout. It has to be easier than making your own from scratch, and even new mice are cheaper than built-for-the-purpose train detectors. And I am sure that if I ask around people would be delighted no end to send me all of their old optical miceses.So how about it? All it needs to do is to pull a relay when a train passes over it. I mean the damn thing already knows if you pick it up and turn it over. So that is your assignment. Design your LION a mouse circuit. ROAR |
