Barefoot Electronics

Barefoot Electronics may oneday bring you gadgets for your garden railroad. The "Products" on the left are things I've made for people that I hope might someday become something you can buy. Of course, I need to develop instructions, production, a means to purchase and, of course, some on hand for you to buy.

1 LED Mars Light

Here's a video of a 1 LED Mars light. Almost ready for production. With a bright white LED, it can reflect from nearby objects in a rather realistic manner.

At YouTube (I didn't say it was a GOOD video.)

Mysteries of the LED

LED's are really easy to use, and if you know just one thing about electricity you can make them do their thing with no worries.

So who was George Ohm, and what does he tell us about LEDs? See the info page at Info.

First Samples of G Gauge Odometer

I got the sample boards from the PC board house and they're beautiful! I hope to have some to show and sell at Carlyle this weekend.

Mars Lights!

Posted by Tom on Feb 5, 2013

I have 2 versions of the mars light board. The 2 LED Mars Light lights 2 LED's alternately for that rocking feeling. The 1 LED Mars Light lights 1 LED with varying brightness to look like the Mars headlight.

Watch for updates!
