Dave,
Great information. ?I¡¯ll be making that revision tonight. ?I sometimes use the hammerhead on my own when making moves between operation sessions so the feedback to the panel will be nice in those situations. ?
Train operators are allowed to use fascia push buttons for turnouts on the main but they are also directed to return turnouts to the main when they leave an area and I have LED lights on the fascia showing turnout orientation.?
This information is an ideal demonstration of how these online discussion groups can be beneficial to us all.

If I use my panel to throw the turnouts or routes I can see the orientation of the turnouts on the panel. ?If I use my NCE hammerhead throttle or pushbuttons on the layout fascia to operate a turnout, I DO NOT see its orientation changing on the panel. ?Likewise if I use the throttle to throw a Macro it DOES NOT show on the panel.
For an NCE Power Pro system, that is simply fixed by setting Feedback on each of your Turnouts to "Monitoring" in the Turnout Table. That will make your JMRI panels track turnout changes made by everything (throttles, macros, JMRI, Mini Panels)
except layout fascia pushbuttons (or manual force). That information (last commanded state of every accessory 1-2048) is stored in the command station and remembered across sessions (provided your backup battery is fine).
