# DCC-Lokdecoder
|
|
## Description
|
|
DCC multifunction decoder for H0 locomotives
|
|
## Features
|
|
- 1 motor H-bridge output
|
|
- 3.6 A peak current
|
|
- PWM frequency configurable (1-40 kHz)
|
|
- overcurrent and temperature protected
|
|
- 10 function outputs
|
|
- 115 mA per output
|
|
- F0f, F0r, AUX1 and AUX2 are dimmable *todo*
|
|
- mappable to F0-F12 function keys
|
|
- DCC asymmetry can be detected (for automatic brake control) *todo*
|
|
## Hardware
|
|
- 4-layer PCB esigned in KiCAD
|
|
- fairly standard components (available from Digi-Key, Farnell, Mouser, etc...)
|
|
- hand solderable (I did it too)
|
|
- 4 debug LEDs (red, yellow, green and blue)

## Firmware
|
|
- Arduino compatible programming (behaves like an UNO)
|
|
- DCC decoding by [NmraDcc](https://github.com/mrrwa/NmraDcc) library
|

## Install guide
|
|
|
|
1. Get the PCB (e.g. [JLCPCB](https://jlcpcb.com/)) and the components (e.g. [mouser](https://www.mouser.at/), [digikey](https://www.digikey.at/))
|
|
2. Solder the components. The SOIC with exposed pad is a bit tricky, it can be soldered from the other side with a big tip and a lot of flux.
|
|
3. Install the Arduino bootloader using the pads 5V, GND, SCK, MISO, MOSI, RST and an Arduino. [Arduino as ISP](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BuiltInExamples/ArduinoISP)
|
|
4. Uncomment the line `#define RESET_FACTORY_DEFAULTS` to fill the EEPROM with the default CV values
|
|
5. Upload the code using the pads 5V, GND, RX, TX, DTR and a USB TTL UART cable [like this](https://www.mouser.at/ProductDetail/FTDI/TTL-232R-5V-WE/?qs=OMDV80DKjRpCUAS6UR9QpQ%3D%3D)
|
|
6. Re-comment the line `#define RESET_FACTORY_DEFAULTS` to avoid resetting to factory defaults every time.
|
|
7. Upload the code again.
|
|
8. Add the decoder XML file to JMRI. In DecoderPro select "File-> Import Decoder File..." and browse to the decoder [XML](JMRI_decoder_file/Public_Domain_GTI_green.xml). It will take some time, then adds the decoder definition to the database.
|
|
9. Connect the T1 and T2 pads to the programming track of your DCC system.
|
|
10. Add new locomotive with the "New Loco" button and then "Read type from decoder". It should detect the correct type:
|
|
|
|
11. If everything is fine, you can install the decoder into your locomotive!
