In my case, therefore speaking of Italy, the model I have taken into consideration is a unified type bench in the FS-93 style, in common use with many locomotives\EMUs, however the types of controls would not be so complicated to connect since moment in which there are 2 types of brakes, one for the locomotive and one for the entire train, for both, step potentiometers would be enough, while for the accelerator, a standard potentiometer would be enough, so for the dynamic brake lever.. other levers would be the selectors of the set speed, inverter, and the rest all buttons, the problem that troubles me is to interface the diagnostic Monitors ... left and right, the brake pressure gauges and speed indicator, and the dashboard of the safety system (Italian Scmt Sistem )
finding these objects is not difficult, since I have a 3D printer available, so it would be enough for me to draw them and connect them electrically .. but at the base of everything, I need an interface card created using Arduino Leonardo, having available this card with all the settings, the rest is just plugged in!
