Not bad Jim. Can I assume 1 board per turnout? What about the Kato double crossover? Still 1 board? What else would one need to place led's on a schematic of the layout? Ron
Yes, but you can double up on the Crossover and link two SMART switches. Then, with the smart switch you have an output signal indicating the turnout positions. There are two options for the panel. Either out PD DPDT relay or the CTC Panel. If you put in our Dwarf Signal Controller you can also use the second channel to run a fiber optic with lens to the panel.
Pretty darn cool Jim. You guys are making modeling exciting again.
That's the plan! We have a follow on to this video later this week. Direction Detection!!
Love the smart switch, would these work with servo? , cheers
Servo version is on the way!

and yes, my layout is Kato n and employs 18 turnouts.

Hello Mr. Jim, got all Bachman remote turnouts, curious and wanted to know if this configurable with them? Thanks in advance for your help.
Yes, absolutely
Any chance of an F scale (1:20.3 scale) semaphore signal?
Will that switch master work with Kato Unitrack?
The SMART Switch would replace the KATO lever type switch actuator. The rest of your layout doesn't change.
