@gunrunnerjohn posted:The problem with the TIU is connecting two channels together seems to create issues, I don't know how that would be resolved.
For some reason the DCS-RC in parallel with the output doesn't seem to cause a problem. The only issue so far that's surfaced is the Apple version of the DCS WiFi app has issues adding engines with the WD generator active. However, the Android version here has no issue at all with the WD generator running on the channel.
Of course this is all in the spirit of OGR being a discussion forum. That said ...
I think the trick would be to power up an unused/available TIU channel for a just a few seconds and then remove power....just long enough for the TIU channel to generate its power-on Watchdog.
As briefly discussed early in this thread (which is almost 5 years old!) I'd still push for a "solution" that does not require the user to rotate the switch to the "home" position each time changing the active yard track. So it would be some kind of change detector that then activates a timer that applies track power for just a few seconds to an available TIU channel in passive mode.
