2020-06-14 - Added EEPROM capability

Store turntable bridge position when positioned
Read turntable bridge position at power up.

2020-06-11 - Added Additional Addresses for Direct Goto Track xx

Now working with DCC Addresses:

  • 225 - 0 = Red Button --> STOP
  • 226 - 0 = Red Button --> POS (Set Track = 0 when Bridge in Home Position)
  • 226 - 1 = Green Button --> T180 (Turn 180 degrees ClockWise)
  • 227 - 0 = Red Button --> 1 STEP CW
  • 227 - 1 = Green Button --> 1 STEP CCW
  • 228 - 0 = Red Button --> Turn CW
  • 228 - 1 = Green Button --> Turn CCW
  • 229 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 1
  • 229 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 2
  • 230 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 3
  • 230 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 4
  • 231 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 5
  • 231 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 6
  • 232 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 7
  • 232 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 8
  • 233 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 9
  • 233 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 10
  • 234 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 11
  • 234 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 12
  • 235 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 31
  • 235 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 32
  • 236 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 33
  • 236 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 34
  • 237 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 35
  • 237 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 36

2019-03-13 - Small Demo Video

2019-02-24 - Added Turn 180 and Goto Track

Now working with DCC Addresses:

  • 225 - 0 = Red Button --> STOP
  • 226 - 0 = Red Button --> POS (Set Track = 0 when Bridge in Home Position)
  • 226 - 1 = Green Button --> T180 (Turn 180 degrees ClockWise)
  • 227 - 0 = Red Button --> 1 STEP CW
  • 227 - 1 = Green Button --> 1 STEP CCW
  • 228 - 0 = Red Button --> Turn CW
  • 228 - 1 = Green Button --> Turn CCW
  • 229 - 0 = Red Button --> Goto Track 1
  • 229 - 1 = Green Button --> Goto Track 2

2019-02-23 - Improved Postion Detection; no false stop commands

Now working with DCC Addresses:

  • 225 - 0 = STOP
  • 226 - 0 = POS (Set Track = 0 when Bridge in Home Position)
  • 227 - 0 = 1 STEP CW
  • 227 - 1 = 1 STEP CCW

2019-02-22 - First Test

Now working with DCC Address:

  • 225 - 0 = STOP
  • 226 - 0 = STOP
  • 227 - 0 = 1 STEP CW
  • 227 - 1 = 1 STEP CCW
