Easily Add Sensors & Outputs To DCC++

Two part series on how to easily add sensors, and outputs to your DCC++ Bast Station. In this first video, we cover adding the sensors and outputs directly to the base station through the serial monitor in the Arduino sketch.

These values are not entered into the sketch, but stored in the EPROM on your Arduino device. In this case it's a Mega 2560.

I'm using a Sunfounder Mega, DF Robot Sensor Shield, and a Deek-Robot motor shield. These are all generic devices that can be purchased for under $30. There are links om my Amazon/Arduino Projects page, but they can be purchased cheaper through DF Robot & AliExpress.
