    Hello All,

    Just curious what everyone is using for their reverse loops with their DCC++ setups? Pros/cons to them?

    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).

    Ya I've been following the old combined thread on that stuff. That'd be awesome! I'll stay tuned :)

    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?
