davepallant Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 A few more steps along the way! Now I have a DCC decoder for the signals based on an Arduino processor board. This allows the JMRI software to control up to 17 outputs on one decoder. The interface board for the Arduino with rectifier and regulator and the opto isolator for the DCC input. The full module with the Arduino plugged in. And I have that module controlling the gantry made up with two 4 aspect signal heads one of which has a feather. The two signals are on a pair of tracks that feed into one so one of the two heads will always be red. Only job left for that gantry is the protective mesh which I bought this weekend at the Wigan show Dave 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium keefer Posted October 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2015 both the gantry and signals are fantastic - especially considering they're in N! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEMLKEL Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I have been following this thread with great interest since I am about to start signalling on my own N layout and have been weighing up the cost of off-the-shelf vs scratch built vs 3D printed. It has been mentioned before but can I ask if you would be open to releasing the models publicly on Shapeways? Perfectly understandable if you wish to keep these private but thought I should ask before I started a on new model and reinvented the wheel! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium njee20 Posted November 20, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 20, 2015 They do look superb! If it's two lines filtering into one then would there be a feather though...? I'd only expect that arragement if the RH track had a facing crossover in the next block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elydock Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Dave, I'd happily pay you good money to make some of these signals for me. They look great! Edited April 4, 2020 by elydock Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
