RGB LED Display test

First test of a new RGB LED display for a train in Canada. The display has 16 x 144 high power RGB LED’s to make sure it is readable in bright sunlight. The hardware uses a iMX6 CPU and runs a custom Linux OS. Content is send to to display via Ethernet using client specified rail/public transport network protocols. Since it is a multiplex display it is rather difficult to film because the update rate is different from the camera framerate so it looks like it is flickering. [Read More]

Rohde&Schwarz HMP4040

New 4 channel Power Supply

To better handle the power supply needs (3.3V, 5V, 12V, 24V, etc.) of the diverse hardware I work with I replaced my old 3 channel Hameg power supply with a new Rohde&Schwarz HMP4040.

Rohde&Schwarz RTM3004

New 4/16 channel Oscilloscope

Since almost every project I did the last decades all use something like I2C, SPI, CAN, RS458, etc. I replaced my old Tek scope with a new Rohde&Schwarz RTM3004 that can do decoding of those protocols, so I don’t have to manually count bits anymore.

BK Precision 9206

New 150VDC Power Supply

Since I have several projects for public transportation information systems, where the use of 110VDC is common, I added a BK Precision 150VDC power supply to my lineup of equipment.

Rigol DM3068

New bench multimeter

To be able to better measure things like ADC inputs, DAC outputs, I extended my equipment lineup with a Rigol DM3068 bench multimeter.

BLS Roll-Out

Roll-Out of a new train with a Passenger Information System partially (OS porting, GUI, and build management) written by me. That includes the LED displays on the outside and the TFT displays on the inside, although the inside TFT displays are not visible on this video.
