Murrays Picaxes

Murray's Picaxe Project Page

Tail Light Flasher
This is the code for the tail light flasher on both of my guards vans.

Magnet Controlled Railcar
This uncompleted Railcar is controlled by magnets placed around the track.
This project was originally conceived by Dave Bodnar and modified to suit my requirements and railway.

Lighthouse
This lighthouse uses the PWM capability of the picaxe to ramp up and down the average output voltage. It then flashes the lamp to simulate it rotating.
I saw one on Dave Bodnar's website and decided one could fit into my railway beside my pond.

Radio Mast
This is the code for the Radio mast that flashes out morse code.
It is solar powered and shuts down if the battery voltage gets too low.
The code changes at dusk to the evening message.

Jigger
Here is an article about my IR controlled jigger.
It is controlled by IR Codes from a small handheld remote.

Model T Railcar
Here is an article about my micro controlled Model T Railcar and the other parts of the automated railway it runs on.
The Model T is controlled by magnets on the track.
The track is controlled by a magnet on the Model T

Distance Measuring Car
This article is about my micro controlled Distance Measuring Wagon using a Picaxe 18X.
It calculates the Actual and Scale distance the car has travelled.
A fun wagon to connect to someones train to measure their track length.

Model Railway Track Power Controller
An article about my micro controlled Model Railway Track Power Controller.
It is controlled by 435Mhz hand held unit. I made a poormans "Train Engineer"

Tramway Controller
Here is an article about my micro controlled Tramway Controller with the Picaxe code.
It is controlled by reed relay sensors on the track.
The loco travels to a distant station, slows, waits, returns, slows and stops.
It then repeats.

2 Loop Train Controller
Here is an article about my micro controlled 2 Loop Train Controller.
This is another setup for an exhibition layout.
It is controlled by 2 sensors on the track and magnets under the locos.
One train sits at the staion while the 2nd does 2 loops of the track
before slowing and stopping at the station.
The other leaves the station as the 2nd approaches the station loop.
