What is the best way to protect an assembled DCC++EX? I see there are cases in the UK but hoping for something in North America or a good DIY...
Okay, thank you education! Most informative. Should be good to go with DCC++EX. At present DC power is only applied to the tracks and after a...
Interesting, thanks for the detailed reply! My locomotives are HO and perform very well on a DC layout with a 7 VA power supply (approx 0.4 amp)....
Mark, I'm still on the fence and have not yet ordered any components. I'm still early in the learning curve and trying to estimate conversion...
My question was adding a fuse between power supply ---> Mega and power supply ---> motor shield. A newbie idea to protect components. Sounds...
Is there any need to add a fuse in-line between power supplies for Aruduino Mega and another for Motor Shield. I will be using a 14V 4A supply...
Hmmm, sorry to budge in here... I was planning on powering the arduino Mega with the USB from my laptop (5V and typically 0.5A). I need to have...
After a significant looking, the only reasonably priced solution I can find for a 14vdc 3a power supply is a replacement PS for Samsung monitors....
Thanks for the information Fred! I was looking at that exact product from Amazon! Some of the power supplies have a larger connector (6mm x...
Okay, beginner stuff, found out to identify positive and negative wire, just cut off the jack and connect direct... sorry for such a beginner...
Dave replied back that he has not heard any reports of wear at the mount and actuator wire intersection.
Can I use 12 volt power jack adaptor with a 14 volt power supply? Beginner.
I'll admit I'm a total DCC beginner, never having owned or operated a DCC system. I had read that HO wants 14 volts on other sites. The DCC++EX...
What voltage do I need for HO locomotives on DCC++EX (12, 14 or 16)? I'm thinking 3A output for a small layout with only a couple locomotives...
