Reading Street Railway Trolley mocs Running Autonomously using Pybricks
BlockTalk Summary
LEGO enthusiasts can now experience autonomous trolley operation thanks to a creative project using Pybricks. The project, shared by /u/BrickReadingRailroad, showcases LEGO trolleys running autonomously, bringing a unique level of realism to the brick-built railway experience.
The autonomous trolleys utilize a Powered Up color sensor, with the code based on Nonsense Wars' Pybricks color sensor code. The trolley designs are inspired by the Reading Street Railway's Osgood Bradley Trolley and a single-truck Birney. The system's smooth operation depends on the trolleys moving at a speed that allows the color sensor to process the stop and reverse colors before reaching the end of the line.
This innovative project demonstrates the potential of combining LEGO with programming to create dynamic and interactive models. The use of Pybricks and Powered Up components opens up possibilities for further customization and automation in LEGO builds.
For those inspired to create their own autonomous railway, you might find a LEGO Powered Up Hub and LEGO color sensor helpful for your project.
The trolleys run autonomously using a Powered Up color sensor with Nonsense Wars' Pybricks color sensor code being the base of the code used to run the trolleys. The trolley designs are based on the Reading Street Railway's Osgood Bradley Trolley and single truck Birney. The system runs smoothly as long as the trolleys are going slow enough to process the stop and reverse color before they reach the end of the line. submitted by /u/BrickReadingRailroad [link] [comments]
