I have 1" pink foam on 1/2" plywood, plus the thickness of the Kato n scale track. Will the long sensors allow me to connect the cable under the layout? I would guess not.
@ModelTrainTechnology 2 күн бұрын
You will need to feed the wire through the foam.
@cbirailroad 2 күн бұрын
@@ModelTrainTechnology yes but since your sensor is 1.75" long (including the plug) and my base thickness is 1.5" plus the nearly 1/4" thickness of the Unitrack, that comes to 1.75" as well. So it seems that the plug would not be exposed under the layout. And I know many folks that use 2" or more of pink foam. If the plug on the sensor faced downward the problem would seem to be avoided. Is this feasible?

Interesting device but under G scale there are actually a few different scales. You have 1/22.5 set a G scale but that would really only cover narrow gauge type equipment. The other half of the population in G runs 1:29 scale.

@ModelTrainTechnology 5 күн бұрын
Yes, indefinitely. The battery charger isn't live when on 5V continuous power. You can also leave it plugged in and the battery charger will prevent overcharging the battery. Set it and forget it.

I would put that usb port on one or both sides for easier access¹ (and maybe even linking 2 _or more_ sticks together over greater distances) and see if I could make it send the data to a pc/mac over usb or bluetooth so you can monitor and log it so it adds extra value on larger setups ¹= instead of on/off switch use a 3 mode switch: off/battery/direct power with direct power mode taking the battery out of the loop so there's no risk of over charging I don't know if it would be a lot of hassle but it should be possible without the stick 'growing' too much or getting unnecessary complex (could sell it as 'pro' version)
@ModelTrainTechnology Ай бұрын
We purposely removed the end facing USB because a cable there on the layout would be unsightly. The bottom facing is so a cable can be fed UP through the layout. The battery lasts an entire day and the charger is smart - no need to worry about over charging. It's all automatic. If you plug the cable in, the battery is digitally disconnected. We have other products in the pipeline that will allow more options and connectivity.
