I just finished my mini control panel for the turnouts on my layout. It has a track schematic that is color coded. The turnouts are controlled by mini momentary button switches that are connected to the Digitrax input pins. The turnout positions are indicated by bi-color 3mm LEDs. The LEDs are connected to the power pins 1 and 8 on the Tortoise switch machines, and as the polarity is reversed the lights change color. The LEDs all have 1k ohm resistors soldered to the negative legs. The turnouts can be controlled via DCC commands on my computer via JRMI software or via my ipad with the ZR21 App, or via the push buttons on the control panel.
I am happy with the way it turned out.
