BWRR posted:I have some questions
what is the correct jumper to use, what I have works but fits poorly
A standard .1" .025 square post jumper is what the posts are sized for.
Is the Power on the board DC? if so what voltage and total amps could be supplied. I am wondering about stealing a little for other things
The regulator is 12 volts. Note that the filter cap is really sized for the job, if you wanted any significant power (more than a few ma), you'd probably want to add a capacitor at J2. If you intend to draw more than about 20-30 MA, you'd also probably need a heatsink on the regulator.
I understand that cap can be added to increase delay. Is there a way that the relay could be made to come on when train comes into the section, but only stay on for a set duration? Say 500 milliseconds. What I want to do is parrot a button push.
Not with the present design, this was really intended as a signal driver for the insulated track.
...Opps one more question
I soldered with rosin core solder, should I clean the board? If so how should I do it
I use 91% or 99% Isopropyl Alcohol for my board cleaning. I use an old toothbrush to do the cleaning.
