Oh I definitely do already suspect the unit lol. What you described is what I currently have set up, one loco on a short piece of straight track...
It's definitely still delivering voltage to the track, the train has consistent sound coming from it the whole time. It's just like something is...
Hello all, Just curious if anyone has come across this before. I have a used Digitrax DCS50 / Zephyr (non Xtra) that I picked up, and it seems...
For anyone following along at home, I did finally hear back from the guy almost a month later. He (unsolicited) sent some better pictures, and...
I can't say whether the guy had no insurance, didn't have enough insurance, stuff wasn't properly valued by his insurance, or he got a great...
Hello All, I'm just curious if anyone's had experience dealing with model trains (HO in this case but I guess it probably applies to anything...
Cool, thanks, that gives me something to go on for the relay :) Dave
I was under the impression a "momentary" switch means that when you release the button it goes back to its previous state, rather than the "push...
Thanks for the replies guys. I did order some normally open momentary switches (more the push-button style but essentially the same as those...
Hello All, I did a search and didn't see anything to do with this so my apologies if it's already been covered somewhere. I'm building a new HO...
Ya I've been following the old combined thread on that stuff. That'd be awesome! I'll stay tuned :)
Hello All, Just curious what everyone is using for their reverse loops with their DCC++ setups? Pros/cons to them? Dave
I had pretty much the same problem, for me it was an outdated version of the Arduino IDE that my system installed from the repository. Updating...
Definitely needed, IMHO
Okay good to know. I switched my power supply to 18V (one of those replacement laptop ones with a bunch of settings), it's reading 18.24V going...
Thanks, good to know. Ya I could definitely hear a few pulses when reading and writing to/from the decoder. Random question for you or anyone...
SOLVED! The jumper wire on the motor shield was no good! It worked okay enough to do the troubleshooting with the LEDs but not enough to carry...
Update: I connected the track to channel A and was able to get train movement with the t command! Haven't played with it too much but direction,...
Yes, laptop power supply is 15V DC, and it doesn't have a ground on the plug. Okay so the main track is the only one that should cause train...
Thanks for the reply. Both Arduino Mega and motor shield are authentic ones purchased from a local distributor. Loco runs, it's actually...
