Thanks for the troubleshooting advice. I got cute and installed the
locobuffer in a Radio Shack plastic project box. And the set up is at the
club layout. Tomorrow I will remove the box cover so I can see the LEDs
and I'll post the results.
Cheers
Jerry-
I put mine in a box, too... however, I took a tip from the setup at the
club (Orlando N-Trak) and used the same project box as the PR1. There's a
piece of track on top, and it's wired to the LocoBuffer inside. I also
drilled holes for the LEDs, took them off the board, and wired them up so
they could be seen from outside the box. I also added a DPDT switch that
lets me go back and forth between "Program" and "Run" on the same track, so
I don't have to move the locomotive. It saves a lot of hassle, especially
when you're fine-tuning lighting effects... and when Bob gets OPS mode
programming working, it'll be even easier.
