WLAN remote controlled H0 scale Interurban car

Dronization of Traction Modeling (4): first operational Interurban car

I shrinked the electronics to fit inside an Interurban car. From left (front) to right (rear) : WLAN dongle (green), 7,4 V LiPo traction battery (silver) WLAN controller (green circuit board), and the small motor controller (blue).

Battery charging is still a little complicated. I haven't yet installed a plug. LiPo batteries must be charged carefully. For a 7.4 V cell you need 5 poles, 2 for current, and 3 for balance charging.

Some improvements are needed to plug easily a battery charger. Time will tell me a solution.

The car is ready to run. In evidence, the free window view is lost because the car is now full of equipment. But it is funny to drive, regardless of current collection.

Not really "traction", but close...

Next step is to put all this stuff in an Interurban car.
