Back to the LCB
After two weeks of recovering from an operation I finally managed to get back on my feet and able to climb loft ladders.
I have spent the last couple of weeks (reading) and cataloging those old railway modelling magazines that I hung on to for the last 15 years.
Work continued on the Cbus canpan which I managed to build successfully, I then built the experimenters board to go with it. Connected it up and did some programming and got it all working first time with no problems. Managed to switch a point back and forth on the test facility and also turn on lights on the CANACC8 (to simulate potential relays)
I'm keeping the cbus modules on the test facility for the moment until I am more confident with getting lights and other things connected to it.
I have now fixed all the dead spots on the trackwork as had accidentally removed some wires when I rewired the dcc bus plus a point polarity wire had come adrift under the board but luckily I am a whizz at soldering so it was a quick job to put it back.
So finally able to have a small operating shunting session without any problems anywhere. Added a temporary track on new board for head shunt.
I have decided I'm going to have 1 control panel at the end of the room and think this will work best. Will be easy to install the cbus to it but can't build this until I have done the baseboards. This side of the room I'm looking forward to constructing because it will be a steam loco shed but might try and fit in a passing loop as well, plus the dc circuit on the upper deck.
