Hello All, Just curious what everyone is using for their reverse loops with their DCC++ setups? Pros/cons to them? Dave
I've been using ARs from Lenz and they've been working great with DCC++ for years. That said, I working on an implementation of a "generic" version of DCC++ that will (hopefully) allow you to use it as an AR (or booster, or main power source).
I've been using the PSX-AR from DCC Specialties and have been really happy with them. Right now I have two of them for the reverse loops on two staging yards. Prior to that I made a temporary setup with Kato Unitrack to test them out and made a post about it on my layout blog. Link to that Post.
Dave, All I came across this today, at Iowa Scaled Engineering, and GitHub Arduino based DCC Reverser w IR Sensors https://github.com/IowaScaledEngineering/dcc-reverser Code; https://github.com/IowaScaledEngineering/dcc-reverser/blob/master/src/dcc-reverser/dcc-reverser.ino Maybe the code can help simplify and stremline your efforts Does this fit the bill?
