Turnout (Switch) Control Using Servos and Arduino Nanos - and Building a Control Panel
I add remote control to 6 Peco switches on my HO scale Model Railroad Layout in an area where I hadn't planned ahead to do so. Servo brackets to mount the inexpensive servos to the bottom of the layout were created with my Elegoo 3D Printer and I also printed a bracket to hold six Arduino NANOs to control the servos. I came up with a method of adding the control to the Peco switches without removing them from the layout. A control panel was made using a left over scrap of FRP panel, toggle switches were installed, and red/green two colour LEDs added to indicate switch/turnout position. I create a wiring harnesses to connect everything using lengths of CAT 5 network cable. Budget remote control. For a good video of how to program the Arduino, refer to this one by @WhiteRiverLine (I created my version using his Sketch as a starting point): • Building Switch Machines From Servos for M... Jimmy @DIYDigitalRailroad also has a good video about doing something similar: • Basic Arduino Servo Control for Model Rail... #modelrailroad #modeltrain #arduino
