Heinz Trucking

The source code for the Arduino lighting controller I used in my 2011 layout. In addition to this code, it requires the Metro timer library and the EZExpander library. Download the TGZ for the full package. Some of the files include:

• debug.h - enables/disables debug messages over the serial console.
• layout_lighting.ino - the main program.
• leds.h - maps individual bits to the LED they control.
• MelodyPlayer.cpp - Allows music to be played while the LEDs continue to blink.
• samples.h - list of christmas carols converted to be played by melodyplayer.cpp.

• Train Layout

I found a pre-assembled shift-register board that did almost exactly what I had designed mine to do, for $20. After all the pain of trying to get my soldered, this was a big win - although I eventually realized that the problem might have been the batteries - they don't provide enough current to drive all the extra LEDs.
