DCC Booster/Reverse Loop Controller short-form kit
A partial kit to build the DCC Booster/Reverse Loop Controller. It includes the PCB and all onboard parts except for the optional OLED screen, which is available separately (link below), and CON3, which is also optional.
If building it into a case, you will also need to source a case, plus the power supply. Otherwise, the kit contains pretty much everything you need. The Pico 2 module is supplied but needs programming.
