What is the difference between a loco decoder and an accessory decoder? Is an accessory decoder fixed onto the loco? Aaron

Thanks Don. By CDU I meant a capacitor discharge unit which would supply a pulse of current to a Peco twin coil switch machine. I'm new to electronics , so I am unsure how to proceed with your

I'm not familiar with what you are calling a 'CDU' or a Peco point motor. But contacts from the relay shown can be connected to any other apparatus that can be operated by electrical connection to

The circuit by Don Vollrath looks easy to use and ideal for continuous running. How would you modify the circuit to use a CDU to control a Peco point motor?

Is there a standard voltage, current and frequency from the control station? Yes...thats what DCC standards are all about. See http://www.nmra.org/standards/consist.html#standards-DCC. DonV

Aaron, You have some reading to do! The standards page: http://www.nmra.org/standards/consist.html#standards-DCC Start with the electrical spec: http://www.dcc.info/standards_rps/S-91-2004-07.pdf Then

Dear Bob, The device you introduce to me is very interesting, but I am looking for something that can show me the waveform from the rails. I have the thought to build the device as part of my project,

Aaron, If you are looking to decode the packets, then try this: www.dcctester.com which will read and decode all the packets. You can display the packets on a built-in LCD, on a PC using Hyper

I am currently doing some research on DCC and would be starting to build a DCC receiver according to NMRA stardards in due time. At the very moment, I would like to extract the signal waveforms from

DCC requires good solid electrical connections and contacts. The mechanism that selects which rails will be energized is likely to be a puny sliding contact switch or only points of the moving rails.

To convert to DCC,what do I have to look out for when using so called Thinking Switches,in other words,rails being energized only in direction set.Does any different application apply for operations

Hi I am new to this group so halo to you all I have a question concerning the peco scissors crossings and DCC I was told that you could use a reversing unit and not use the peco switch but I was a bit

The solderless quick splice terminals can be found prety cheaply at All Electronics (www.allelectronics.com)for about a dime a piece. <jerrygoodwin@y...> wrote: thermo-plastic.

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I really was hoping for a solution that didn't involve a utility-knife step, but oh well, if that's the way everyone does it then I can deal with it too. I've

Ah, heck, I might as well put in my two cents. For stripping wires, I like the fancy stripper that clamps on the wire in two places and spreads the insulation. I admit it doesn't work perfectly, but

Gene, You're the first person who has wanted to unjoin. As moderator, I'm sure I can delete you. But before you go, are you aware you have a choice of how you get messages including not having them

The issue of power-routing frogs is twofold. 1) Insulated dead frogs of any kind (steel or plastic) leave dead spots in the track. Some locos will stall on them if wheel pick-up is marginal and you

I have been reading the Wiring for DCC site regarding turnouts and I think I may be overlooking or just not understanding something about power routing, frog power routing and wiring for turnouts in

You missed the rather pointed question... How do you strip off the insulation on a solid bus wire without cutting it in two? All the fancy wire strippers I've seen are meant to work well only at the
