I also haven\u2019t manged to get my third switch to funtion 100%. And I am less happy with RocRail than previously. It is not 110% stabile. I cannot&nbsp;make my train&nbsp;go through a block&nbsp;without loosing speed. So I ought to be in a bad mood. But I don\u2019t really care. It is a hobby and not a project. There is no deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is probably done in a jiffy, if I just start to convert the locomotive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am confident that I am going to get the switch working properly. I have found a different firmware for the decoder, which allows to adjust the two stop positions individually. &nbsp;And if that is not enough, then I have already bought thinner piano wire, so that I can make built-in spring-effect, so that the servo can move all the way to the end position without breaking anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note from later: The new firmware (version 3.5) have done the trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RocRail is worse. I have almost reached the conclusion that I will drop it and go back to JMRI or maybe I will end up buying a commercial program. See the separate page&nbsp;&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/lisby.dk\/wordpress\/?page_id=83\">JRMI or RocRail<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I need another feeadback module. To do it simple, cheap and DIY, I have found S88N. I have bought a few printed circuit boards and a mini drill in order to drill holes in them. <a href=\"http:\/\/lisby.dk\/wordpress\/?page_id=90\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See separate page<\/a>&nbsp;about that. I don\u2019t need more feedback modules for the test oval, but I will when I am beginning to build a real layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I already have plans to expand the test oval. I just need to extend the base board half a meter, which might give me an opportunity to try to simulate a modular layout. More to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/lisby.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/image-10.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"164\" src=\"http:\/\/lisby.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/image-10-300x164.jpeg\" alt=\"Processed with Snapseed.\" class=\"wp-image-81\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lisby.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/image-10-300x164.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/lisby.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/image-10-768x419.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/lisby.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/image-10-1024x559.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/lisby.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/image-10.jpeg 1576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><i>Plan for extension of prototype oval (made&nbsp;in&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scarm.info\">Scarm<\/a>).<\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 2014: I still haven\u2019t converted my old locomotive.
