Title: Voltaje on the track

Description: Dear n, I have assembled the device according to your instructions with an Arduino Mega and a DIY motor shield. On the test track it works correctly but it gives me a voltage of 10.5 volts, which is why, when installing it in my layout, the Athearn Blue Box locomotives from the 90s barely move. What surprises me is that my Roco Multimaus controller that I am trying to replace delivers 20 volts to the track. Could you guide me to understand what I am doing wrong? The power supply I use is 12V 3A. thank you so much.

Your 12v power supply will only give you about 10v on the track. ( or almost 12v if you use our motor shield which has much less loss.) You can't expect the arduino or motor shield to increase the voltage its given.On 26 May 2024 12:11, Fire @.> wrote: Sent by @.). Created by fire.
