I would like any and all feed back regarding the use of the LNWI access point on Digitrax DCC Systems. I have many layout owners in my operations group that are leary of the use of any smart phone use on their layouts. They think the smart phone operators can corrupt or change settings in their Digitrax DCC system.

  Hi  All,  I installed an Econami 2 amp PNP in one of my S scale engines tonight and when testing it I noticed that a small flashing light pulses inside the shell in the area of the board for about 30 seconds after the power is shut down. I'm wondering if that has something to do with the current keeper bleeding off it's stored power? Engine and sound seem to work fine. Any Econami users noticed anything similar( it might be hard to see it with the engine all buttoned up, I had the removable dynamic brake panel off for testing)  BTW.

Every once in a while there is a need for something a bit more than the 1-2 Amps of DCC power that the typical DCC++ combination of the Arduino plus motor shield can deliver. With a separate H-Bridge driver board and your Arduino Uno or Mega2560 you can put out a DCC signal with 15 Amps of power. Let’s see how you can do it.

In the mid 2000s, Precision Craft Models made an HO scale FA1/FA1 model with ESU LokSound DCC. The pair of models only had one decoder which controlled both units via jumper wires, thus the two units needed to be operated as a pair.

As manufactured by Precision Craft, were these FA1/FA1 pairs wired to run back-to-back, or elephant style? I'm guessing back-to-back since that was probably where the jumper wires were.
