hi all,
some one can tell me if sketch for dcc++ runs on arduino giga and motorshield like it runs on arduino uno?
ty very much
The Arduino GIGA R1 WiFi is light-years away from the Uno. If a motorshield is compatible with a 3.3V board, then I suppose that it works.
I don't know if a DCC++ library is compatible with the Giga board, I have never used a DC++ library.
The Giga board seems to be over the top for a model railroad. Do you really need such an expensive board ?
Some think that a Arduino Uno is too slow, but the sketch could be filled with delay(). It will be just as slow on a faster board.
Some think that a Arduino Uno has not enough SRAM, but they want to create large arrays as they are used to, on a computer.
Some think that a Arduino Uno has not enough pins. For a real project it is often better to add extra modules with extra pins instead of a Arduino board with many pins. The modularity makes it easier to replace and upgrade parts.
A upgrade from the Uno (5V board) is the Mega board (also a 5V board) or a ESP32 (3.3V board) or Raspberry Pi Pico (3.3V board).
Conclusion: I can not answer your question. The best board for your project depends on many things.
No, it is not. This is a completely different architecture and has deviated from the standard Arduino core (core code and libraries) and instead operates with mbed OS. This would mean quite a bit of development work to try port things over with a completely different codebase. But we aren't ruling it out, we have just gone in a different direction. Also as an $80 board, does not fit the typical user for the model train market, though it is a great board with a lot of features.
