I apologize if this topic has been already posted but I have not been able to find an answer to my problem. When I have a locomotive running on the track my switches will stop functioning when the loco's are close, this problem was happening with my Dynamis system and is still a problem when I switched to DCC++. The decoders interface is from Geoff Bunza's website running off a dedicated 5v supply and my track is running on an Arduino brand uno and sheild using the 16v power supply that came with the Dynamis. Any help would be great Rich
did you separate the track into blocks? I think I know what your problem is your switches are not insulated it happens to me all the time with my switchers. If you have switches you need to isolate them from the rest of the layout or your track will go dead it happened to me once and I blew a power pack. There are two ways to fix this problem the first way is use plastic joiners every six sections of track on the rail opposite of the switch and place powered joiners between them this way your switches don't shot out when you throw them and your train enters the block. the second way to fix this is buy Inselfrog switches Atlas and Peco make them this way you don't short out the track when you reach the frogs.
