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).
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.
