I've connected up new EasyDCC boosters with auto reversing to my layout. Previously, I used a toggle switch on the panel to control the phasing of the power in the reversing loop.
Auto reversing works reliably, but I've notice some of the metal wheels on old Athearn passenger cars can cause arc after arc as they roll across the gaps. It seems likely only shorts to one side of the booster output triggers auto reversing. I don't like the idea of having this arcing occur over and over. I don't want to use a power relay to switch the phase of the power for the reversing sections. I'd really like a way to control the output phase of the auto reverse boosters.
Does anyone make a booster with a low level, such as 5V logic level, input that controls it's output track power phase?
