Using DCC to switch DC Signal

Recommended Posts

I've bought some 12v DEC Signals without checking that they could be powered by DCC.

So I have a feed to my point frog which is DCC either left or right. Now I can wire two LEDs to this and wire the other ends to either left or right feeds and see only one light.

My new dc signals have their own circuit board, but I don't know what they do.

Is their any way I can use the DCC frog wire to control these signals?

If I understand you correctly then this should work

Wiring for a 2 aspect signal with a common cathode is shown

If your signal is common anode then the LEDs become diodes & the diodes become LEDs

The diodes are there to limit the reverse voltage across the LEDs to a safe level
