Part 2 with the throttle and master and button box modules: • Train Simulator Classi...
Thanks for the interest in my Train Simulator modules, I wasn't expecting anywhere near as many views. I thought you would like to see inside them more closely, so here I crack open the first two modules, the throttle and brake levers.
While I don't want to give a strict guide to building one of these, here's a list of parts you would need to build one lever module:
200x120mm plastic enclosure
10m OD / 8mm ID metal tube - cut to 70mm for the horizontal shaft, 100mm for the vertical
2x 10mm bearing blocks
M10 ball lever knob
10K potentiometer
Pro Micro Arduino
Veroboard/perfboard circuit prototype board - approx. 60x25mm
90 degree pin header strip
USB micro-B to USB B adapter cable
1x push button
M8 bolts for the bearing blocks
Heat inserts - M4
3D printed parts:
2x Notch base blocks
Internal splined piece to engage with the potentiometer
Notch piece - 1 per set of notches)
Pivot piece for lever, also containing the sprung piece for engaging with the notches
M10 adapter for the knob
Arduino board holder
Decorative pieces beside lever
Additionally for the control via serial and light
1x 3.5mm socket
Another piece of vero/perfboard approx. 20x20mm
Cables to join
3-6V dual colour LED indicator
