My level crossing is finally fully automated! Not without a few hiccups along the way, but my existing #raspberrypi Pico now triggers the one for the servos, just in time to close the gates before the train comes, opening them again after it has completely passed.

Success! I now have all four gates operational. Didn’t quite get it sorted it in time for the how-to video (https://youtu.be/yq5GMvVzijw?is=ipTuHNZFEOXL8jfG), but better late than never. @rpimag #makermonday (on a Wednesday)

Look no wires! With a little switch on the side, I can now turn the on-board button cell power supply to the @pimoroni Tiny FX on and off. So, goodbye cumbersome battery box.

1/43 scale #Airfix Land Rover fire engine conversion, with @pimoroni FX lights and siren (sound on), plus bespoke 3D printed parts. Finishing touches to the model and ‘how-to’ video should be done for tomorrow.

A nice feature of the @pimoroni Tiny FX is ‘stealth mode’, where you can disable the on-board indicators by cutting through the trace on the back marked with the LED symbol. You can always resolder it if you want them back again.

Latest version of my level crossing gate controller has shrunk down that little bit more. Soldered headers for the servos, their power supply, and the inputs from the lighting controller.
A job for the #Weekend
It is decided! I know what I’m going to do with the @pimoroni Tiny FX kit - a fire engine conversion from an Airfix Land Rover - with flashing lights and perhaps sound too. I’ll be designing and 3D printing the stuff for the back, like I d…
