Jamie,
Yes, we dual purpose the detection for CS/Atlas signals on the NWTL and it works fine with the NCE detection. We use Atlas #6924 non-derailing boards to control Tortoise switch machines and provide switch position feedback for signals and the PC.
Sam,
I hope enough people enjoy our system to someday warrant a separate forum, but for now I'm just thankful for the forum we have. Few people would be willing try such a system without the kind of community support you can find here.
BTW, don't call MTH tech support with your questions. This integration software is our product at Hikel Layouts & Trains. We're a service based business and we are able to provide one on one setup and tech support via Skype and LogMeIn. As Barry can attest, we will work with you through the process of customizing the software for your layout and locomotive roster. It's something of a new business model to offer remote service at this level but so far I think it is working well. Of course, we charge for our time, and that's how we make our living. Some folks will want to save the money and integrate the software and hardware on their own and they are welcome to do so. We hope the level of one on one service we can provide will be sufficiently valuable that people will be willing to paid for our assistance.
