What is the ESP32 Command Station?

ESP32 Command Station is an open-source hardware and software Command Station for the operation of DCC-equipped model railroads.

The ESP32 Command Station consists of an ESP32 micro controller connected to at least one Motor Shield that can be connected directly to the tracks of a model railroad.

Features

• Supports almost any variant of the ESP32.
• Support for multiple h-bridge types (Arduino Motor Shield, Pololu MC33926 Motor Shield, BTS7960B, LMD18200, DRV8800/DRV8801).
• Built-in web interface for controlling locomotives or configuring the ESP32 Command Station.
• Built-in support for LCC either via WiFi or a hardware CAN transceiver.

Supported ESP32 Boards

The ESP32 Command Station has been tested on a variety of ESP32 boards available on the internet, the current preferred format is either the Arduino Uno R3 formated boards (easy to use with the Arduino Motor Shield) or the TTGO T1 with the integrated SD Card. However, almost any variant of the ESP32 will work as long as there are enough pins available for the Motor Driver connections.

Latest public release

The latest production release of the code is .

Dev updates

The development branch is where all “in-progress” work will be made available, there is no guarantee of stability of the project when using this version of the code.
