A return to the lower deck - part 3

First semaphore signal installed and working.

 

2x front crossover points all wired up and working, have installed microswitches for frog polarity.

 

Now I know the wiring configuration the rest should be straight forward enough although I need to build a daughter board for the CANMIO to enable 16 outputs for the servos.

 

When I took the photo of the signal I had power to it but had wired the relay up wrong so that it wasn't moving but it is now. - (Its a CANPAN, to CANACC8 to a relay to the signal)

 

Wiring on the underside of the board is a mess while I figure out how to wire things up. But going forward I now know how it all works

 

Crossover on the far right is now powered and tested with locomotive (4 left to do on this board). Had a short for quite a while until I realised that the power rail going to the V on the point was one of the end pins on the microswitch not the middle one (like PECOs). Whoops!

 

Edit -further adjustments to servos coming out of the branch followed by a change to the configuration and adding the polarity wiring means i now have the next crossover working off another switch.
