dexterman Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 could any tell me what colour light signals would work with railmaster and how they are wired up. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geon Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Any LED based ones. I'm going to try with a standard loco decoder. The output current required is low so any decoder should work. A three output one can be used directly but I was going to look at using a two output decoder with some logic. A tenner gives you motor speed control and two or three outputs for use anywhere on the layout as long as we watch the current limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregd99 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 if you put some logic external to the decoder then you can get have 2 x 4 aspect signals per 4 output decoder (2 x 2-to-4 decoder). the current required per aspect depends on the led and environment and.... but I often find that a few mA is sufficient rather than the nominal 20mA.If you take this approach is Railmaster able to control signals via loco decoders?? The two types of decoders have different addressing and are not fully interchangeable.I use JMRI and it provides a whole lot (unlimited?) of flexibility on how things are configured and controlled. The downside of flexibility is that it is more complex to set up.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
