Steve,
I think all you need to do is plug ribbon cables from the
translator to a TowerMan, (or other I/O port) one cable for
controlling the color, and the other for outputting the commands.
The power for the Touch devices will come from the TowerMan, so no
external 5V power is required, but can optionally be supplied to
reduce the load on the SSB.

I am attempting to begin automation of the trains on my layout
using jmri. Currently I have enabled block detection using
RR-Cirkits watchman connected through RR-Cirkits Locobuffer USB.
All is running well.
Because I control my turnouts with Berrett Hill Touch Toggles, I
am unable to control turnouts using JMRI/Panel Pro turnout
tables/etc. Can anyone give advice regarding how I might allow
control of turnouts with JMRI. I have an RR-Cirkits Motorman and
the Berrett Hill Universal Translator (neither yet installed) and
don't know how to get them to work with each other. Any ideas or
anyone I might contact for help would be appreciated.
I don't know if it's important to know the other hardware on my
layout ... but here is the list.?
Command Station : Digitrax Zephyr
Booster: Digitrax DB150
Power Management/Reversing : Digitrax PM42
Computer Connection : Lenovo Laptop PC to RR-Cirkits LocoBuffer
USB
Power Supply to RR-Cirkits Watchman : RR-Cirkits SSB adapter
Turnout Control : Berrett Hill Touch Toggles (3 DB8 and 1 DB4)
Block Detection : RR-Cirkits Watchman
Turnout Control : ???? Don't have any idea if I've got this right
... RR-Cirkits Motorman & Berrett Hill Universal Translator
Thanks,
Steve Pustay
