I'm starting to build-up a track which I can use a non-DCC bachmann turnouts along with a DCC++ basestation. Is there a board which I can interface the DCC++ with, to control the non-DCC bachmann turnout? I came across the DR4018, which I think would work. Turnouts>>>DR4018>>>2 wires from the track or DCC++ (Arduino Motor Shield Main track terminals) Is there any other boards which I can use? Thanks
The DR-4018 is simple to connect and operate your turnouts. i am using a DR4018 with Atlas switch machines. It gets the DCC command signal from the DCC buss and it is best to use a separate 12-16 AC or DC power supply (polarity is now critical), just make sure is is regulated to power the switch machines. It is recommended to not power the switch machine using the DCC power. Dennis
Thanks. Will make sure I use a diff power source. Now, just waiting for some kind of sale to see if the price for that goes down.
