Hi. I'm looking at using Dijikeijs products with JMRI to control turnouts and signals on a new O-gauge layout. If I use a DR5000 with DR4024s to drive turnout servos (with DR4102s to handle frog polarity), does anybody know if a DR4024 will automatically feedback turnout closed/thrown status to JMRI?

Ian,

Yes, the turnout status is controlled with a LT command.? This will reflect on your JMRI panel just like a Digitrax DS64 or any other LocoNet controlled device.??

DR4024 is a service controller only, no feedbacks included. You will need to use microswitches and a DR4088GS or opto to send the feedback

Ryan, I don’t think that the 4024 is actually providing feedback, it only reacts to the command sent and JMRI is inlyvchnaging only chaging the status based on the command sent to change the servo, there isn’t any actual feedback.

if the command is sent to the DR4024 then JMRI will show the point as thrown even there isn’t one there :)

Thanks for the replies. What I was trying to establish was what 'Feedback mode' would I be able to use when I configure a turnout in JMRI. Will a DR4024-controlled turnout allow me to use ONESENSOR or TWOSENSOR mode or can I only use the basic DIRECT mode. Here's the URL for the relevant JMRI documentation page...
