Stan,
It was my intention to hook up to the signal ground and not the track ground using the pins you and GRJ use to power your reset board. Obviously, I was less than clear in the previous post. But, I really really like the idea of the optocoupler. Should anything happen in the DCS-RC unit (albeit unlikely) it would be much better to fry an .89 cent optocoupler as opposed to an $8 MC, and no waiting or shipping cost as I have a number of the pre-fab units on hand. I should have thought of that earlier.
Curious as to the logic behind using the Track ground as opposed to the Signal ground. Your thoughts?
I truly appreciate the timing synopsis! Should make writing the code that much easier, my current view is when activating a spur or yard siding is to set a variable (most likely WDT) to the number of times I wish to reset the DSC-RC and decrement it by one each time the MC issues the reset command till it reads 0. Provides an easy and convenient method of controlling the desired number of resets and the main loop runs quickly as the only time it branches to the watchdog subroutine is when WDT => 1.
Also, on a different topic .... in your spare time could you possibly start working on a Warp Drive?
Thanks, Barry
