LotusNetThis is a name for using LocoNet© as a local station net. It is an abbreviation for "Local train utility and security network". 5V LotusNetThe idea is to use this inside a module or inside a console,
where short wire runs are used.
The 5V LotusNet is derived from the Loconet© and must be connected to it at one single point, for instance at a CU based
on a Proto_128, For this electrical connection see the schematic of Proto_128. It uses a
10 pin pin header for easy use.
Simply crimp some 10 pin pinhead connector to a 10 wire AWG28 flat cable and your Lotusnet bus is complete. To connect more of them, put some 10 pin pin header to a breadboard. A single level shifter to adapt the TTL lines to the real LocoNet and a 5V voltage regulator has to be presend in the module. This "logistics" board connects
Common connectorsA version using fire wire connectors is under discussion. [BA] The idea is to connect signals and other devices with limited supply requirements with this type of connector TBD [SBor].
