Скачать или смотреть Turnout (Switch) Control Using Servos and Arduino Nanos - and Building a Control Panel

I add remote control to 6 Peco switches on my HO scale Model Railroad Layout in an area where I hadn't planned ahead to do so.

Servo brackets to mount the inexpensive servos to the bottom of the layout were created with my Elegoo 3D Printer and I also printed a bracket to hold six Arduino NANOs to control the servos.

I came up with a method of adding the control to the Peco switches without removing them from the layout.

A control panel was made using a left over scrap of FRP panel, toggle switches were installed, and red/green two colour LEDs added to indicate switch/turnout position.

I create a wiring harnesses to connect everything using lengths of CAT 5 network cable.

Budget remote control.
