Hi everyone,  newbie here!  I am currently building my 7' x 13' layout.   The signalling application I am struggling with is either side of the passing siding I have on the layout.   Basically, either end of the siding, I wish to install BLMA signals.  Searchlights at one end and the new 'darth vader' signals at the other (I enjoy taking photos, so the mix is best!).

Questions about PWM:

I am trying to do a project that is a digital throttle, driving the track with a plus width modulated (PWM) constant frequency. I have a commercial analog throttle that generates this PWM voltage source (it is at about 18KHZ) but I want to do it digitally for reason too complicated to explain here.

Model animation—bringing models to life—adds enormously to the interest and enjoyment of any layout or individual model! This time I show how The Crane Critter finds its way, using a simple application of a terrific magnetic sensor that modelers of all kinds should really understand. I’ll point you to some parallels in robotics—now don’t get scared off – that might give us modelers some new ideas for our layouts, and why scale model animation is different… and the same! Maybe scale model animation taken to the limit is Micro-Robotics?
