Morning
I apologise if this is a very basic query:
I have a DCC controller - SPROG3, connected to a laptop and a 12vdc PSU
It can detect and control a DCC enabled locomotive on a short length of track I have been testing with
I also have a basic carriage, designed to take 12v from the tracks, rectify it to deal with whichever polarity is present, regulate it, then power some onboard electronics (lights, camera etc)
However, when I check the voltage across the two rails with a multimeter, I measure only ~4mv DC
My hope was that the DCC signal was overlaid on the DC supply - so that I would still be able to access 12v for "dumb" power - is this not in fact the case...or is there some command that I am missing to tell SPROG3 to provide 12vdc to the running rails
Cheers!
