Hi once again This is totally new subject. I have model railroads. I would like to control from Excel. (there are some other software available but I would like to use Excel)
I want to send from Excel to a bus wire digital information showing the loco number and direction of travel (fwd/rev) etc. Just for basics etc Send a message by USB to say: Controller1 Engine 5 Fwd Direction 1/2 speed In practice there would be several sets of data for different locos. There is a digital receiver in loco. (I have drawings of waveforms that it is sent over etc) I know there are lots of things to consider, but at this point I would like to know if anyone has done something similiar. Is DDE the one to us (old apparantly) or something different. I will make up a spreadsheet to show selection of loco etc It may end up being too complex for me, but I would like to give it a try and get a ssample working turning on an LED etc Thanks Charlie Harris (into model trains) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some important links for excel users: 1.
