So, finally, I got the software written on my Arduino Point Control system!
What I now have is a system controlled by 2 Arduinos. One for the points and one for the trains and sensors.
You can see the videos of the operations below:
And now for a detailed view of the points/switches/turnouts actually working:
One thing I have found, though, is that these el-cheapo motors (9g servos) from China are not well calibrated and quite weak so I may need to use larger motors that need less fine tuning and make less noise when under load.
Stay tuned. In the next episode I'll be showing you the electronics and how the two systems hook together.
