You can also use a "Y" to connect two servos to one output (works great for passing sidings!).īy adding the DCC stationary/accessory decoder to the Octopus you can control your turnouts with servos and DCC at the lowest possible cost per turnout. You can use "Y" cords to use more than one fascia controller to control one servo. This gives you a simple way to hook up the inputs to the board using servo-style cords and extensions. You can use the same fascia controllers as the Quad. Power input is any power supply from 5.0-24 volts DC. This means less heat and a lower power draw. The Octopus III has an on-board high-frequency switching 1.8A power supply that is more efficient than the old linear power supply. This item appears to not currently be in stock But is still available to order. more info on Octocoder DCC Add-on Decoder. No frills just throws the turnouts from your throttle or JMRI. By adding this DCC stationary/accessory decoder to the Octopus you can control your turnouts with servos and DCC at the lowest possible cost per turnout. The board also has jumpers for setting the range from +/-20 degrees around centre to +/70 degrees and for centring the servo to simplify installation for applications where there are no hard endpoints or where you are using the same turnouts in all locations. Tam Valley - Octocoder DCC Add-on Decoder. With the Remote Aligner you can set the amount of force used in the automatic alignment to match your rail size and the servos you are using. That is simply not going to work as the layout is somewhat large. The documentation indicates that the switch inputs need to be as close as possible to the controller, less than 2 feet. This allows each servo to be adjusted to its optimum range and endpoints and each servo can be independently adjusted. I am using the Octopus III to control the servos on my layout. The servo endpoints are found automatically by searching for hard endpoints or you can manually align them with the Remote Aligner.
No more hanging under the layout trying to push buttons. There are 8 positions for plugging in R/C type servos and 8 inputs for switches or 5V logic.
