Hi Everyone,
I am using DZ-1008s for train automation in conventional mode. I figured out how to make it work, I just have one issue. When my train arrives in the siding this train hits a block on the arriving switch that activates the departing train. The arriving train makes it partially in because the departing train leaving hits another block on the isolated rail on the switch triggering the arriving switch to align itself to the lane of departing train. To paint the picture when the train arrives only the engine and a couple passenger cars make it in and the remaining cars derails on the switch because its trying to go to the other siding.
I have tried many solutions to this and I figured two things will work.
1. A device between the relay and isolated rail block on the switch so when the wheel activates the block it is delayed like 5 seconds or more then the device forwards the signal to the relay so the train can fully arrive and the next train on the other siding can depart without any issue.
2. Delayed Relay? So everything can be in one box?
I'm not too sure which is a better solution for the long run. I'm also not sure what I need currently and where to buy them. There seems to be a billions parts on electronic websites and its confusing for me. I have everything wired and soldered already and I'd appreciate any help or insight with my volunteering.
Thanks
