"TrenIno" is a project that combines the passion for Lego® bricks and Arduino®.
The "DepotIno" railway diorama project, created by /u/Glittering-Strike-54, combines a passion for LEGO bricks with Arduino technology to simulate a small railway yard. The project, dubbed "TrenIno," features three locomotives in red, yellow, and green, moving between a shed and a tunnel.
The diorama's loop functions by generating a random color, initiating a countdown, and causing the lights to blink. The selected train then departs from the shed, briefly disappearing into the tunnel before returning to its platform. A key feature includes a "battery replacement" track that automatically switches off the system if the battery is low.
The creator encourages viewers to follow and support the project on Facebook and Instagram. The project showcases the potential for combining LEGO with electronics to create dynamic and interactive displays.

This railway diorama, called “DepotIno”, simulates a small railway yard where the 3 locomotives (red, yellow and green) go from the shed to the tunnel. This is what the loop does: 1) a random color is generated (red, green or yellow) 2) the countdown starts 3) the lights start blinks 4) the train leaves from the shed and hides for a few seconds in the tunnel (*) 5) the train returns to its platform and again ... (*) if the battery is low, switch to the "battery replacement" track where it...
