One reversing loop to support reversing in both directions off the mainline?
I am building a relatively simple O scale layout where I have a reversing loop within a circular mainline. It currently reverses trains in one direction using a PSX-AR in the reversing section.

Does anybody know what these are? I can't tell. I think they are, or have, a DCC application, but not sure.

Pete, I tried the email address from your post and it failed to go through. Do you have another one?

Re: Voltage measuring issue
OPT switch 20 Closed, updated the internal battery
Thanks again

Re: Voltage measuring issue

Ironically, twenty years ago, we'd mostly all have twigged to this, because so many were running mixed DC and DCC locos. Now, not so much.

Re: Voltage measuring issue
Well… I never thought of checking for DC loco control. Add using a track-track DC voltage reading as part of the diagnostics.
The 78% setting for a DC output also explains why the DC track-booster

Re: Voltage measuring issue
Mike,
Or: just don't bother. Now that you know that it's only the voltage measurement that's off, and no other faults occur, there's no real need to care about this one way or the other.

I recommend you close Option Switch 20 (Disable address “00”). This prevents the command station from ‘zero-stretching the RailSync signal. It does not prevent you from selecting

The voltage measurement issue has been solved. At the suggestion of another Digitrax DCC user I checked analog address 00.
To my total surprise it was set at 78%. I have no analog engines and don't

Re: Voltage measuring issue
Mike,
If the problem is recent then figure out "what changed?". If you've done any
wiring recently that is a likely source. Has a gap closed up? Is there a loco
in staging sitting across a gap

Re: Need 5V output for lights
A potentiometer or rheostat would also work. Myself? I'd just replace the bulbs with LEDs and use 1 kohm resistors as Soundtraxx suggests.

Why is it that people say

Re: Voltage measuring issue
Then my expectation is for some reason your layout wiring has 'changed' - to me, the most likely change is the failure of the common signal in one or more Loconet cable due to excessive
