welcome to another Shout Out Monday Evening and today's acronym is SOMEONE
Shout Out Monday Evening Opportunity Never Ends and this one is going to
complement the video that I did on the power supply the other day now because
what do you need for that power supply you need accessories to hook up to that
power supply and this channel is developing his own so let's see who I'm
talking about here i'm Tom Kvichak and this is Toms Trains and Things this
channel was created to help other modelers who are in need of guidance in
pursuing their dream of building a model railroad and we talked about a power
supply the other day and the gentleman that i'm going to talk about today is
developing his own accessories he's using Arduino he's using JMRI he has
even had his own boards made in China if you've been following YouTube Model
Builders you know they've been doing a series on Arduino now Arduino is a small
microprocessor i mean it comes like this and they even have the mini Arduinos
and there's a lot of different micro processors out there that you can do a
lot with them on your model railroad if you know how and this gentleman that i'm
going to talk to you about today knows how to do it now he has a about forty
some videos on there and they're all real short he just whenever he finds
something new that he has he puts out like maybe a two to three minute video
just showing you what it is but he's making excellent progress in using
Arduino and other items to control his model railroad if you like what you see
here and what to take the extra step to support us become a Patron visit our
Patreon page and pledge your support you will receive extra content and other
perks thank you for your support now let's go over to the
computer and see who we're talking about well don't we all wish that we were
experts with Arduino I'm going to have to watch YouTube Model Builders a little
bit more to find out more about Arduino I've been working with Arduino for maybe
two to three years since I first discovered it I think I read an article
back on Model Railroader Magazine or Railroad Model Craftsman magazine about
somebody using it for lighting and that's what got me interested in it but
the person I'm talking about today uses Arduino extensively and you could tell
by his logo he uses the Arduino logo on there and his channel banner is a
circuit board for Arduino so anyway let's go over here now as you could see
he's got a lot of very short videos and when he finds something he just posts
the video on his findings he doesn't really go into a lot of detail about
what he does he just you know when he has some results
he'll just post it on there and it goes from maybe well let me see he's got a 48
second one up to 2 minutes and 55 seconds so that 2 minutes and 55 seconds
looks like about the longest one he has on there that I could see right now but
anyway he does he's doing a lot of projects on there and you could learn a
lot by watching what he does I mean you he's not showing you the
details of how he's going about doing it he's showing you the end results but
still you could see what you can do with Arduino and jmr I trying to link the two
of them together because I know a lot of people would like to do that Arduino is
a powerful microprocessor it has a lot of inputs it has a lot of outputs
that you could use on there and Bob McAllen is using it to his fullest
capability on here and I'm just going to pull up his last one here remote node
custom shield all right now this is something that he this is a circuit
board that he had made so he had quite a few of them made but anyway he had these
made in China for a project that he's working on and let me fast-forward over
here a little bit and we still see the same thing okay where we had here okay
now here's what he was working on and there's a couple of other videos before
this one where you could see the project that he was working on and you could see
up on here here's a circuit board that is made specifically to sit on top of
the Arduino board for projects this is something that he was playing around
with and he had this circuit board made so he could have it put up on top of the
Arduino board instead of having this board right here this is a a project
board that you could stack up on top of an Arduino board go ahead check him out
subscribe to him check out all the videos he has I think he has about 42
videos you can learn from what he is doing on there even if you don't
understand what he's doing it'll get you thinking about what can you do with all
the little electronic components that are available today that don't cost that
much like the Arduino and the mini Arduino and a Raspberry Pi and
everything else that's out there so anyway check him out and subscribe to
him so let's go back to the the train room where I could finish this thing up
alright so Bob McCown has some pretty interesting stuff on his channel
so go ahead and check him out and while you're at it subscribe to him
and hit his little bell icon up there so you could be notified whenever he puts a
new video out there he's got a lot of projects going on and he's developing
some good stuff for his railroad I got to watch a little bit more of the
YouTube Model Builder series to get a little bit more familiar with it I got a
little bit away from working with the Arduino but anyway if you would like to
see more videos like this go ahead and hit that subscribe button and while
you're at it Ding that Bell and that will notify you whenever I have a new video
coming out and also leave a comment down below let me know what you think about
it let me know what you think about everything else I have a Q&A coming out
later on this week it's five things that Debbie asked me I talked about it
earlier and I showed you on a notepad it's on here someplace
on one of these pages I even made a new page for her so anyway we'll see you and
don't forget if I don't ask if I don't answer your questions right away on
Wednesday that's because my daughter's here with the granddaughters and we're
out doing something we're either at the pool
we're at the beach or we're having a good dinner someplace and it'll probably
be a couple of days before I get to answer it when I have some spare time so
anyway
