Hi Everyone,
I'm running a Sprog 3 with a 15v 3A PSU connected, when I turn the power "on" in JMRI the signals and point motors flick and flash as though they are struggling, I'm wondering if this is simply an issue with the load draw spiking when I initially switch the layout "on".
Currently I have 3 Dapol signals, 7 DCC Concepts SS Point motor units(each with 2 points), 1 DR4018 16-channel switch decoder(with its own PSU for the 16 channels) and about 7 Loco's. The layout will power on and run perfectly if I cycle the power in JMRI several times (almost like something is warming up/drawing less current).
How could I measure the Current Spike if it is this? Is there anything in JMRI/Sprog to tell it what the maximum load is for the PSU? Do I just need to add something like https://www.sprog-dcc.co.uk/dcc-boosters/sboostii
Thanks for any help i'll try to get a video of the issue later today.
