    Welcome aboard! @Sumner might be able to lend some thoughts on servo applications.

    Welcome from a long past Missouri product :).

    On the Arduino/Pi subject are you talking about a DCC command station? If so I have info ( HERE ) for for the latest go ( HERE ).

    On the subject of servos for turnout control I have quite a bit of info on how I do it ( HERE ) that doesn't require an Arduino but if you want to go that way then the second link above to DCC-EX will also help plus lots on using an Arduino on the internet. What I developed doesn't need one and I believe is quicker to setup and also to adjust the throw of the servo. It doesn't allow automation though if you are interested in that.
