Reply to "Smoke chuffer to drive a PS1 smoke unit"

Interesting, John.  So the chuff-generator generates a 5V pulse signal, but I take it that I can't use that 5V to directly pule the motor.  It has to go through the super chuffer, which then switches ground for the smoke motor in those pulses?  Is the logic for the pulse rate done on the chuff generator board itself, or is that done on the super chuffer?

Just trying to figure out if I need both to do what I'm trying.  I can set the output on my DCC to switch the whole smoke circuit on and off from the DCC power I think easy enough.  But obviously the DCC doesn't have any provisions for handling the pulse signal.

I don't anticipate using any of the light features since the decoder has them covered atm.
