No, this decoder is not able to control a DC motor, it can only play sounds. I didn't design a loco decoder ("multi-function decoder in DCC terminology) because, at least for H0 or N gauges, it must be small to fit inside the loco and the production cost (multi-layer PCB, SMT components...) will be probably higher than a commercial one
Hi! Great designs, work well and are very fun to watch. Can the braking generator do this now? Not ABC, just a device that sends a stop signal to the locomotive. Regards
Hi, not sure about your question: are you thinking of a device that continuously sends, on a specific track, the "broadcast STOP" command so that every loco that enters the track stops?
@@lucadentella Hi. This is exactly the device we are talking about. Just like multimouse, it generates a stop in position 0 for all locomotives. The principle of operation is that once the relay gives a stop signal from the generator, and in the second case the relay gives a signal as it was before the stop... i.e. from the Roco control unit. Both "stop" and "go" signals are given to the designated section with the semaphore.
Hi Luca, thanks for the tutorial on this sound decoder. It appears very useful. Cheers. 🙂
Thanks for your comment, Tony!
I agree that sound is an important part of a layout, along with lighting.
You're right, lightening makes a huge difference!
Hi. You have footprint library of that jq6500. Thanks
With that, can we make decoders for locomotives?
