Great video, do you have a video on how you made your uncoupler with the servos? or can you make a video it would be great to see how it all works and the parts and more so how you put it all together.

Cool! that was particularly usefull - thanks - and best wishes for the season!

So you actually show nothing at all about how to use the program, while the title of your vid is called "using lochmaster"... A lot of talking about obvious stuff, but not a single thing about how to work with it...

What strength of battery would you fix on the reed switch. Thank you well explained.

Buildings don't look like Glesca.

Straight and to the point. Thanks for this.

Great Video! So, my desire is to use a keep alive to slowly bring a loco to a stop once it get's to an isolated track section. If I'm running a main line, I want the loco to go into the yard and come to a slow stop on it's own! This is not only a safe way to run the DC layout via not worrying about watching the loco going into the yard, but will bring realism via a nice slow auto stop. All this allows you to get a bit of a DCC experience on a DC layout. And IMHO, a better experience. I can run very long main lines that dead end to insulated track sections. As I'm working another loco, the other is just running to it's destination worry free. I'm thinking of designing my next layout on this concept. It seems like a no brainer. Now, time to experience with Capacitors vs. time to stall.

Thank you. Very nice explanation regarding steps/microsteps

Very good Explanation on the workings of stepper motor turntable👍

Great episode, comprehensive and much appreciated

Davy, could this work with a linear transverser?

What a fantastic tutorial video - just what I needed. Thank you very much.

Most helpful - thanks

Clearly explained thank you

Great video Craig. For such a wee speaker the effects sound surprisingly good

Thank you, helped a lot!

Hi , do you have an idea of the latency of this board?

Interesting conversion, I have never seen or heard of a y9 loco before Good clear instructions of the work required.

Sir you making best videos in the world 🌎 keep it up❤

Wow- enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks so much for the knowledge, Chic 👍

Sir keep it up your explanation it' so helpful ❤❤

Thank you for your Best explanation ❤ it' really helpful 😢

Thank you for this great informative video! As a noob I've been looking all over the Internet for a simple way to connect this sound module without finding any, until now! Short, sweet and to the pooint! Many thanks! :)

Great Video! could You please be so kind and give us the URL where software option 2 is located (can be downloaded). Chris Sharp at Arduino Sig? Thanks Wolfgang

food for thought

Thanks for the excellent video. Are you able to give the specs for the capacitors please. Sorry if you did, and I missed it. Cheers.

thanks

What rate are the diodes Dave

Excelente

A lovely layout, well presented.

I posted this last year on Merg, though the actual work was done in 2022. Coming back to it again, having bought a second Wainwright to convert, using an old CR 123 body and tender top, I found it really useful. I reckon I will do the second conversion in 5 days, as opposed to the five weeks the original took.

All very well in theory. The maximum length of cassette easily manageable is about 36” above that it’s not practical So how do you go with a locomotive and say eight coaches or freight train with a loco and 20 wagons

One special feature you did not mention; You can place components and edit all on both sides of the pcb! So you can make very compact pcbs... You made a good review of Lochmaster, well done. One point for program improvement schould be a library editor and taking lenght measuments, like in Splan8...

No BOM generation? How about >Board > Component list< Create - in plain text or Excel!

I have always found the blue wire that is the common for lighting is usable for the + wire on the keep alive

cool!

Where can I find this kind of motor structure?

What would happen if we reversed the diodes so the cathodes rather than the anodes face one another?

Excellent Video, explanation using simple terms

Excellent. I have learnt a lot thank you.

You can eliminate the diodes by wiring the limit switches in place of the cross connection on the reversing switch. Just relocate the red motor wire to the terminal closest to negative power label in the drawing.

Awesome info .Thank you.

I remember using the optocoupler igbt driver and I have 15 volt to the collector but the multimeter showing the same 6 voltage from the pwm ic not 14.45 volt can you explain why I only get 6 volt instead of the 15 volt to driver the igbt that need 15 volt to fully charge up

Excellent review of a brilliant loco!

i don't have any of these problems, i run my locos on internal batteries and hm7000 sound decoders which i buy for £60 (the batteries are free). It doesn't matter what points i use or whether i have a reversing loop thingamyjig. Also i have no need for a track cleaner as my track does not supply power to my loco via the wheels and then through a contact made of a conducting material that must be kept clean. My locos work everytime and never stutter or stop, oh and i nearly forgot i don't need a stay alive, my locos are alive.🙂

Great...So I am building my Granddaughter a 3 storey dolls house from scratch with a Elevator from Ground to first floor. But instead of the "2possition,Double throw" I wish to put a push button on G and on1st to call the lift up or down. Just like we do in real life. Could you help or point me towards a diagram for independant buttons? Thankz

What is the purpose of the opto in the circuit at 13:20 in the video? Seems to me to be adding an unnecessary component that adds cost and is another possible failure point. It is not providing any isolation or noise immunity between the processor supply and the relay supply as they are tied together with the common 0V line. Just drive the transistor base from the processor output through the appropriate current limiting resistor. The voltage difference between the processor and relay supplies is accommodated by the Vce rating of the transistor.

And what kind of diodes?number?any information on that?

As the eventual recipient of this I am totally in awe of this talent. Just amazing and trying to be very patient!

Excellent, and well illustrated.
