Wireless Railcom Track Occupancy Detektor for C-Track (Märklin/Trix) with DCC Signal Support

Wireless Train Occupancy Detection for My Christmas Model Railway (Proof of Concept)

Description:

A Long-Held Dream Realized: For years, I've been frustrated with the wiring chaos of my computer-controlled Christmas model railway. So, I decided to develop a solution myself. After months of work, I'm now presenting my Proof of Concept for an innovative, wireless train occupancy detection system.

Video Content:

An Exclusive Look at my wireless solution for train occupancy detection
My Installation Experience: A simple guide on how I integrated the sensors into my C-track (Märklin/Trix) and powered them
Scalability Tested: How I efficiently utilize up to 35 train occupancy detectors (theoretically up to 254) and maintain the connection via intermediate nodes
My Latest Developments:

Enhanced Railcom Sensors: Now supporting multi-aspect signals with up to 5 independent LEDs per module, for an even more detailed layout representation
Versatile Connectivity Options: I'll show you how my solution is compatible with popular control software (e.g., Rocrail) and hardware (e.g., via S88 bridges to existing control centers like ECOS)
A Glimpse of My Innovative Hardware: The custom-designed PCB with C-track nuts, simplifying the setup of my wireless model railway.
