BTW, after step 10 a simple electrical test can be carried out to ensure all so far has gone well…
Step 11:
- Fit the tower.
- Fit a wired controller to one of the ports and connect a digital car (with corresponding ID) to the track power output of the APB.
- Connect DC power.
The tower should display the firmware version. If so this confirms the serial link is running correctly.
The throttle controller should control the motor of the connected digital car. Motor and brakes should function as normal.
This confirms core control functions of the APB and its MOSFET driver circuits.
We will test for correct function of ID sensors later.
The above repaired APB correctly demonstrated the above… so all is well :)
