dcc-ex install and test of motor shield MotorShield 8874

I had some arduino mega clones so when the dcc-ex project announced their new motor shield last year I simply had to try it. This video explains, hopefully, how I did my install. DCC EX has greatly improved my test track situation. I can now move my test track anywhere without moving my main DCC controller.

The only feature I'm missing is support for loconet out of the box

What you need to start with DCC EX.
1. MotorShield 8874
2. Arduino Mega clone with wifi capabillity
3. computer and usb cable to hook up and program arduino board
4. an old android phone to run Engine Driver controller via wifi (optional but highly recomended)
