Hey Mark,
I posted earlier in a new thread praising the greatness of this, but I have a
few additional questions that I thought I'd just ad to this thread--
I converted 3 LEGO motors with the micro-controller, and now have 3 diodes (at
least, iirc, they're diodes) that oce were on the back of the motors--
Could these diodes be used in your Ack circuit? Or are they a different
variety? They're just sitting here waiting to be used in something.
As well, playing with the direct/pace/loco programming, I'm having a difficult
time getting my 3 motors on different loco #'s--they're all stuck on loco #3.
I've read thru the site numerous times, and I try programming the CV to a
differnt number, or try just from the loco option, but either they'll on;y work
on 3 or they don't seem to work at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
Anyway, this, again, is great stuff.
Dave K
