Sorry to have misdirected your thread. I had never intended on having the subject get to the point it was out of hand. I felt the subjects of both turnout controls were alike so it wasn't out of place having these together. But I understand your point and how each just gets lost together. Good call on starting a new thread.
Just know I never wanted meant to take over your discussion.

O.K., first of all, how do I say Arduino? Then, where do I buy this item?
One important factor in the non-DCC solution from Tam Valley Depot (their Octopus board). If you ever DO wish to control turnouts with DCC, they sell a $20 add-on for the Octopus that adds DCC capability. So you can be a Luddite now and a high tech wizard later without obsoleting any equipment!No problem Dave. I just felt there were going to be more people interested in doing it via DCC actuation, than doing it my old fashion Ludite method!

Many, many sellers on eBay, as well as experimenters' and makers' suppliers (Allied, Newark, etc.). Here's one in the US with good prices -- http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-UNO-R3-A...AAAOSwB09YK75I
The Singlet II Servo Decoder is perfect. Now if I can program the Arduino to do this I'll have just what I want.
Let me say this about that!There you go, trying to confuse Dave by giving him more options to think about!
