Andymsa Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Recently I got my Roco turntable converted to use the ADM mechanism and make it an indexing drive. As it can be controlled by DCC as well and can be also controlled by I-train which there is a document available to show how to set up I-train. I wondered about Traincontroller and producing a document for setting up TC as well. My question is how much interest would there be for a setup guide ? ps I originally posted in wrong section of the forum so reposted here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymsa Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 As I had no replies it appears this is a niche topic, so I won’t be doing a guide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold deepfat Posted September 21, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 21, 2023 OK it may be niche but I have the same setup and I am missing 1 piece of the puzzle how to set up detection on the bridge. I can see a technical manual referred to and I don't have it and Alistair seem to have ceased trading Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see a technical manual referred to and I don't have it and Alistair seem to have ceased trading as I have been doing a big extension to the existing railway building it’s been a year since any modelling has been done. It was only a few days I powered the turntable up and it worked perfectly after a year. As to the question if memory serves me correctly the track inputs can be wired two ways. I’m not home until Monday when I can double check mine but you wire directly to the bridge via a track occupancy device by passing the dcc feed so the TT has four wires to it. I got the tec manuals somewhere but not seen them for awhile but as I said if you can wait I’ll look on Monday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track detector is wired to dcc in terminals and to control the TT by dcc directly these wires go to ctrl terminal. In rare circumstances you might need to by pass the circuit board and wire to the slip ring. Hope this helps but do remember to remove the jumpers. I also found a way of automating the TT with Traincontroller use but this did involve new firmware as there is an incompatibility between what is base address on the TT and what is base address to Traincontroller, what happens in other words everything is offset by 1. I don’t believe I Train has this issue something I got to test as I got both programs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
