Replacement Hardware for a Gauge Master Train Driver
Hardware design files for the Train Driver project.
This repository currently contains the KiCad project and schematic for a simple MCU-based circuit intended to drive two PWM-controlled trains.
A STM32F103C8T6 Blue Pill is used as the main controller, reading two potentiometers and then running two FET drivers via PWM.
A snippet of the transister driver circuit is shown below:
