Hi Rudy, a great contribution to the DCC modeller, thank you. One question, did you remove the spring from the point, it looks like you didn't and I would prefer not to mess with my points!
Excellent ! Can you provide any pointers on controlling Kato turnouts ( Kato turnout control switches are not twin coil but rather DC polarity controlled.)
Ig they need just a 0V or 5V to be controlled, then use the DCC Accessory Decoder in stead if the servo decoder. It is included in the zip package for which a link is available on the Software page.
@@rudyshobbychannel Thanks for reply. 5v is not enough to move them so I used 12v power supply. The problem is power automatically should switch off once the turnout moved so I modified accessory decoder code a bit to determine if the DCC state is changed compared to previous loop by introducing 2 more variable inside the structure. So it will move the turnout only if DCC state is changed and cut the power of automatically after 1.5 secs. Thanks again for wonderful work..
@@rudyshobbychannel Just adding some more info assuming it will help some body. I used all 10K resistors at all three places. I am using Uno & Motor shield and using pin12 to toggle (which controls pin3 hence shield) the polarity based on the dcc state (1-thrown, 0- stright) ...

I left the spring in, The servo is strong enough to move past the spring force.

Congratulations as always Rudy, but can do some video to use the module PCA9685 to use many servos? Thanks so much
It's not in the planning. If you need info, there already are some UA-cam videos on it.
Hello Rudy, do you know if the library works with Märklin CS2, when using DCC for accessories?
Hello Rudy. Disculpa que no hago la pregunta en inglés. Cómo estás conectando la centran digital al Arduino?? Estás usando un adaptador?
Hola Javi, chécate el vídeo 29, osea el anterior, usa un optoacoplador para conectarse a la señal de la vía, ahí explica el diagrama, saludos
