Cheers Barry, yes sounds like you had a good day! I was obviously "not in the right mood" - I didn't want to damn Peco at all as their stuff is very good, it was just a frustrating exercise at the time..................Anyway, I have yet to design the underside of the board so quite looking forward to it now it's working!

I'll try a couple on some of the points as well (although I have bought the "Conrad" ones which I've used before). It looks like the switching for colour lights is a good idea, I tried a couple of LEDs to see the effect and I like it. I will be having a couple of semaphores but the rest are colour lights so that'll be ideal. I might, through some turn of fate, be able to hook up the semaphores mechanically to the servo horns so they operate at the same time. I'll have to have my good head on that day!

Thanks for your response.

All the best.

Robert

Original comment edited - note the following. Perseverance has paid off; it's not wholly clear on which way the plugs go into the sockets (they can go either way) so if, like me you can't get it to work, switch off first. then turn the plugs the other way up and restore power.

Original comment:

Hi Barry, is there any chance of you helping me out here? I've got one servo and one switch rigged up and nothing works (the display & buttons are ok). After reading other threads who have had similar negative experiences, I am about to ditch this in the bin, until I read your "...............programming and operation is very straightforward........"

I can't get to grips with it and the connectors bare no resemblance at all to the diagram - it's double dutch to me.

I am a qualified electronics engineer as well so this "Taiwanese English" booklet versus diagram has got me stumped!!

Cheers

Interesting enough the Deltic "motor" noise actually sounds like a Deltic "engine" noise, especially on that second pass.

Nice video.
