--- Arduino/Motor Shield Plug and Play ---
Obviously it would be cheapest and you would learn the most if you source all these parts separately and DIY the programming, testing, etc but not everyone has the desire to do so. There is a solution.
kwledbetter has agreed to setup the Uno/Motor Shield combination and program it with the DCC++ EX basic software and do a basic test and send to you for a nominal markup as well. Total for the installed and tested UNO and Motor Shield with appropriate jumpers and traces cut for $70 shipped within the continental US.
You will still need a DC power supply for track power, Male USB A to Male USB B Cable, and a computer or Pi with JMRI. All profits will be donated to the TrainBoard and JMRI.
