|
||||
|
||||
### Basic Operation
|
||||
|
||||
#### Power Control
|
||||
- Tap **[POWER]** button to toggle power ON/OFF
|
||||
- Green = ON, Red = OFF
|
||||
- Power must be ON for motor/DCC output
|
||||
|
||||
#### Mode Selection
|
||||
- Tap **[MODE]** button to switch between DCC and DC Analog
|
||||
- **⚠️ IMPORTANT**: Power automatically turns OFF when changing modes
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### Rail Configuration
|
||||
- Tap **[RAILS]** button to switch between 2-Rail and 3-Rail
|
||||
- Relay activates in 3-Rail mode
|
||||
- Can be changed while power is on
|
||||
|
||||
#### Speed Control

|
||||
|
||||
### Status Bar
|
||||
The bottom status bar shows:
|
||||

|
||||
- DCC address (if in DCC mode)
|
||||
- Current speed and direction
|
||||
|
||||
## ⚙️ Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Settings Persistence
|
||||
All settings are automatically saved to ESP32's Non-Volatile Storage (NVS):
|
||||
- Power state
|
||||
- Mode selection (DCC/Analog)
|
||||
- Rail configuration (2-rail/3-rail)
|
||||
- Speed value
|
||||
- Direction
|

|
||||
|
||||
Settings persist across power cycles and reboots.
|
||||
|
||||
### DCC Address Configuration
|
||||
To change the DCC locomotive address:
|
||||
1. Edit `src/main.cpp` or add a UI element
|
||||
2. Default address is **3** (configurable in code)
|
||||
3. Supports addresses 1-10239 (short and long addresses)
|
||||
|
||||
### Touch Calibration
|
||||
If touch response is inaccurate, adjust calibration in `include/TouchscreenUI.h`:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define TS_MIN_X 200 // Adjust if needed
|
||||
#define TS_MAX_X 3700 // Adjust if needed
|
||||
#define TS_MIN_Y 200 // Adjust if needed
|
||||
#define TS_MAX_Y 3750 // Adjust if needed
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## 📝 Pin Customization
|
||||
|
||||
To change pin assignments, edit these files:
|
||||
|
||||
### Motor Controller Pins
|
||||
Edit `include/MotorController.h`:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define MOTOR_PWM_PIN 18 // PWM speed control
|
||||
#define MOTOR_DIR_PIN 19 // Direction control
|
||||
#define MOTOR_BRAKE_PIN 23 // Brake control
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### DCC Output Pins
|
||||
Edit `include/DCCGenerator.h`:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define DCC_PIN_A 17 // DCC Signal A
|
||||
#define DCC_PIN_B 16 // DCC Signal B (inverted)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Relay Control Pin
|
||||
Edit `include/RelayController.h`:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#define RELAY_PIN 4 // 2-rail/3-rail relay control
|
||||
```
|
||||

## 🔧 Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Display Issues
|
||||
- **Blank screen**: Check USB power connection, verify 5V supply
|
||||
- **Touch not responding**: Adjust touch calibration values in `TouchscreenUI.h`
|
||||
- **Inverted display**: Change rotation in `TouchscreenUI::begin()`
|
||||
- **Wrong colors**: Verify ILI9341 driver configuration in `platformio.ini`
|
||||
|
||||
### Motor Not Running (DC Mode)
|
||||
- Verify mode is set to "DC Analog" (yellow button)
|
||||
- Check power is ON (green button)
|
||||
- Verify motor controller connections
|
||||
- Check pin assignments match your wiring
|
||||
- Use serial monitor to verify commands
|
||||
|
||||
### DCC Not Working
|
||||
- Verify mode is set to "DCC" (cyan button)
|
||||
- Check power is ON
|
||||
- Verify DCC booster is connected and powered
|
||||
- Check DCC signal with oscilloscope (GPIO 17, 16)
|
||||
- Verify DCC address matches your locomotive
|
||||
- Check locomotive is DCC-compatible
|
||||
- Verify correct address is programmed in locomotive
|
||||
|
||||
### Upload Failed
|
||||
- Check USB cable connection
|
||||
- Try different USB port
|
||||
- Press BOOT button on ESP32 during upload
|
||||
- Check correct board selected in platformio.ini

## Safety Notes
|
||||
|
||||
⚠️ **Important Safety Information**

|
||||
- LM18200 requires adequate heat sinking
|
||||
- Test with low voltage before full power
|
||||
- Emergency stop should be easily accessible
|
||||
|
||||
