    Given:
    1. a reversing loop, isolated on both rails on each leg
    2. current detection prior to entry of each leg
    3. photo-detection at both sides of each isolation of the loop's legs
    4. a DCC++ booster connected to the reversing loopas per David Bodnar design
    5. A running program in the Pro Mini (attached): this uses current detection on its input at pin A0 to detect shorts and shut the booster. This program will need to be adapted to allow for the booster to change its phase (reversing polarity). This reversing will be made dependent upon detection of a train about to enter the loop.

    EDIT:
    pin 1: RPWM
    pin 2: LPWM
    pin 3: R_EN
    pin 4: L_EN
    pin 5: R_IS (right current sense)
    pin 6: L_IS
    pin 7: Vcc
    pin 8: GND

    Here is the schematic:

    Question:
    what needs to be changed on this wiring to get the DCC signal reversed?
