Dave, this is quintessential diy slot system building. Moreover it references your talent and passion for practical engineering design and building at its best. I enjoyed the subtle humour too - and now I know what a non schematic schematic is 😀 Overall a very entertaining and informative delivery against the subject matter of regular electrical work. Yes, the wiring is 'dry' but you manage here to deliver body and full flavour which further demonstrates your already renowned teaching abilities. I was looking to do something similar back in 2021 but never did, as I prefer to run analogue, but I do have some Carrera digital cars and it would be a shame not to give this a 'follow the master' go at some point. If I can find the time then I will.

"SRD-05VDC-SL-C" 10A250VAC / 10A30VDC / 10A125VAC / 10A28VDC is there a difference will it work with this model ? Thanks
that looks like the numbers are saying they work at other voltages e.g. 30V DC 28V DC etc... the listed voltage is the voltage needed to flip the relays, the USB transformer works at 5V DC so you will either need a different DC to DC transformer for those other ratings of relay module.
Ive done the wiring to the letter with the diagrams and explanations, digital works fine ,the analogue works weird , one controller will run both cars at the same time whichever controller or lane you use both cars run off one controller ,I noticed you only had one car at a time on the track .any suggestions.
you musty have linked both lanes together somehow... wild guess ... have you wired it exactly... but got the left and right sides of the relays mixed up?
@@slotr Ive redone and rechecked all the wiring ,still the same, ive used the same colour wires as you so I would not make a mistake, sorry to ask but have you tried it with two cars on your track on the analogue setting.The digital side works perfect.

Ive redone everything and checked it is correctly wired sat at the side of the computer with your plans making sure its correct, Im stumped as to why its not working correctly.

Can someone cleverer than me tell me if I can add two led's near the switch one for digital and one for analogue to let me know when each one is on and where should the led.s be connected.
Yes, you can. You would need to connenct a resistor before each LED, to reduce the Voltage, so that the LED won`t be damaged. The value of the Series-Resistor you can calculate out, if you know, how much Voltage arrives at the Toggle-Switch. LED`s always have to be runned with a Series-Resistor. You would need to drill two holes for the LED-Sockets, to clip it onto the Box, as well. To find out, were to connect it on, watch several clips here on YT, how to do so. Also you can find tons of informations in the Net, how to calculate the Serie-Resitor Value for the LED. Use your imagination and the internet for your plans. If you don`t know things, Google will be your souce, to ask for it ;-) If you have an electrician in your family, or as a friend, ask him. He can tell, or show you, how to do so, as well. 🙂
@@bomamo9620 Thankyou. I have had a go and fitted led's with resistors, works ok. it now lights up to tell me if digital or analogue is on depending on position of the switch. just waiting for the sockets to arrive and the analogue controllers.
Changed both relays redid all the wiring still the same. one controller will run both cars at the same time whichever controller or lane you use both cars run off one controller .I thought id figured it out I remembered I had an extra feed jumper cable going to the far end of track ,but even after taking that off its still the same. there is something feeding both lanes but its very weak on one of the lanes. The plugs are wired positive as in a normal houshold plug.
that's strange I did wonder about jumpers, you're right something somewhere must be bridging the two lanes, without testing it all with a multimeter I'm not sure what it could be
@@slotr If I use one controller with the car on left lane the car goes fast if I put the car on the other lane same controller it goes slow, and it does the same with the other controller but visa versa.
@@davidpinner4598 remote possibility came to my head... if you've pushed the wires into the sockets a long way it is (just) possible there's a short in behind there somewhere

Changed both relays redid all the wiring still the same. one controller will run both cars at the same time whichever controller or lane you use both cars run off one controller .I thought id figured it out I remembered I had an extra feed jumper cable going to the far end of track ,but even after taking that off its still the same. there is something feeding both lanes but its very weak on one of the lanes. The plugs are wired positive as in a normal houshold plug.
that's strange I did wonder about jumpers, you're right something somewhere must be bridging the two lanes, without testing it all with a multimeter I'm not sure what it could be
@@slotr If I use one controller with the car on left lane the car goes fast if I put the car on the other lane same controller it goes slow, and it does the same with the other controller but visa versa.
@@davidpinner4598 remote possibility came to my head... if you've pushed the wires into the sockets a long way it is (just) possible there's a short in behind there somewhere
@@slotr OK thanks will check that out , I do have tendency to push wires hard.
@@slotr Redid the wiring on the sockets ,still no joy, I've lost count how many times I've rewired everything just to make sure its correct. very frustrating and baffling.
Places liquid on his track, stop video and stop watching. Total lack of responsibility...!
It would be irresponsible if I did it on someone else's track 😁
