Thanks Randy!
St. Johns and Atlantic RailroadI have an animation project where Arduio will be used. Eventually, LCC would presumably be used to control it.
Many larger layouts use a bus to a CTC and/or remote panels to control signals and turnouts. Bruce Chubb's C/MRI is one bus that supports this. Layout Command Control is an attempt to standardize
It's not obvious that your animation needs the support of LCC. Could the animation be triggered by some local detectors.

St. Johns and Atlantic Railroad Greetings, This is my first time posting. Of the many facets of our hobby, electronics is my weak spot. Arduino looks fascinating. Does anyone have any idea how LCC will interact with it? I have an animation project where Arduio will be used. Eventually, LCC would presumably be used to control it. Best regards, Mark

Your question will be best directed to the expert opinions in the openLCB yahoo users group and the LCC yahoo users group. You can also check out the Portland NMRA convention clinic lists and read through the PDFs for the LCC presentations. They will likely leave you with more questions, but you will gain somewhat of an understanding of how it works.
I am currently in progress of working out a signaling/block detection/implementation of LCC standard for my model railroad club.
The interface is available for Arduino, but I haven't seen a software library yet for LCC. I would expect one will be coming relatively soon.
