(...) Hi Mark - Great design, and the DCC stuff pointed out later in this thread is exciting. I'm curious - your switch designs seem to be updated from time to time to get a better base connection between the switch track itself and the motor, so (...)

(...) Yep, that's correct. With LDCC you will be able to configure the power as well as the stroke duration (somewhere around 0.1 to 0.2 seconds). Right now, LACC can control stroke duration, but not power, so I'll be modifying LACC for non-smart (...) (20 years ago, 9-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

(...) OK, thanks for the reminder! It sounds like maybe if you DCC-ise it, you would want the control program to issue non full power commands then? (...) I wish we could get track connectors and wires in bulk at good prices. (20 years ago, 9-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

(...) Glad you like them! (...) No, all that is required is a standard unmodified switch. The motor has more than enough torque to throw the switch. In fact, I recommend that you feed a lower voltage to the motor as the motorized switch may(1) (...) (20 years ago, 9-Sep-04, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)
