Custom test bench - part 12: DCC-EX + WIFI + OLED Display + Volt/Amp


This series of posts about my test stand is reaching its end ... After installing the DCC-EX, I also wanted to have a device measuring the tension and courant going into the main track - for me, track #1.

I installed the DCC Concepts Alpha Meter on the layout, but it would be too big for the test stand. Fortunately, a US manufacturer makes something similar, but smaller. It is the RRampMeter from DCC Specialties:



The setup is very straight forward. The main challenge was to create the opening on the panel so that the LED display would be flush.







So, I'm pretty happy with the end state as it is. The panel is not exactly organized in a logical way, but that will do for now!
