a private Open Source project, which deals with the radio
control of model cars based on the Faller Car System© principle.
The control is possible with a digital DCC track signal,
from the BiDiB
the modern model railway bus system or also with
Xpressnet© hand controller, as an autonomous solution.
We are well aware that such a thing already exists! Both
Claus Ilchmann's DC-CAR and Karsten
Hildebrands infracar are two examples of this. Faller© itself also offers two of
its own digital control systems. But none of these systems
completely convinced us. Either it is the technology or it
is the not freely accessible system parameters or just
simply the price for such a complete system.
Our goal is to integrate the OpenCar-System into the OpenDCC BiDiB concept. Versions 1 and 2 of
our assemblies were still self-made assemblies. As of
version 3, all assemblies "SMD populated" will be
available in the Fichtelbahn-Shop.
Here you will get all information about the
OpenCar-System. You are welcome to contribute this
project, improve it, criticize, test it or use it. The
complete hardware development and the finished firmware
files of the OpenCar-System project are in General Public License.
The source code for the project modules is available on
request from the author, who is included in the General Public License, too.
Data protection
With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2018,
the legislator has put more emphasis on the protection of
privacy - data minimization and parsimony are the
keywords. Service providers on the Internet are required
to tell the user what data is collected and what happens
to it.
When these pages are accessed, data about each access to
the server is stored, the page accessed, the date and
time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, successful
retrieval message, browser version and ID, user's
operating system, reference URL (the previously visited
page), and the IP address. This is quite normal and this
is how the Internet works - otherwise the server can not
answer a request.
These data are converted into anonymous statistics and
stored on the server located in the EU. A personal
evaluation does not take place, even passing on to third
parties, OpenCar-System does not use cookies, flash or
pop-ups.
