    From my experience, any time we use the infrared reflection system of sensor, which is what you have, there will be problems! Not all rolling stock gives a good reflection from the bottom of the cars! That causes a change in the active status of the sensor. A better system is one that BREAKS THE BEAM of the infrared transmitter and receiver. That means mounting the sensors above rail height and at an angle across the track so that the space between cars does cause the beam to be unbroken again. Azatrax has a lot of very good documentation on their website about installing these kinds of interupt sensing. I have used both under track reflection and interupt sensing and the latter is by far more satisfying. Further, I ultimately tried setting up JMRI to use block detection to operate the signals and tortoise motors on the crossings. That was absolutely the best system, but requires JMRI and block detection which is usually quite an additional step for many modelers.

    • @normantoogood6937
      @normantoogood6937 Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks Jim. Sounds like your system works well for your circumstances. With our museum layout, we are kind of what I call a 'show' layout, not an 'operating' one. Our signals & crossing gates are a hit with the visitors.

  • @OPS_GUY2023
    @OPS_GUY2023 Před 8 měsíci

    Norman I bought the sensors for the block signal so the sensors go between the rails?

    • @normantoogood6937
      @normantoogood6937 Před 8 měsíci

      Yes. Take the plastic piece off the end of the cable, drill about a 5/32 hole and after pushing up from below and attach the plastic. You might need to cut around the hole a bit so the sensor sits down between the ties

  • @davidfromtexas9681

    I ordered some crossing signals from WeHonest but have yet to arrive and have ordered their LED's before and generally they are very good to deal with albeit the delivery time is long because of the fact their items come from China. I was giggling about the situation you are facing, not because of the frustrating issue but I'd consider this a real-world copy of crossing gates. How many times have I seen gates go down, up, and back down again on their own.

    • @normantoogood6937
      @normantoogood6937 Před 10 měsíci

      I updated the description to show the reason this happened. Basically I had more than 1 sensor on the track, and the 2nd one reset the board, plus I was trying to control gates plus flashers with the same board. They all are working great now (fingers crossed) We have them at 3 locations on the museum layout. Had to buy some extra boards, but worth it. Visitors are impressed.

  • @freescopesdad
    @freescopesdad Před 11 měsíci

    OK so have you found the source of the problem? Was WeHonest able to help? I am exploring the use of their controllers on my n scale layout and looking for feedback, positive and negative, before I buy.

    • @normantoogood6937
      @normantoogood6937 Před 11 měsíci

      Yes, I may have to update the video. Wehonest is very good about replying, and they said that I was trying to control too many crossings with only 1 Masterboard. I had an extra set, do tried what they said, and have one Master controlling the gates, only, and the other Master controls the flashing signals. It now works pretty darn good, Have a look at my latest video which shows the gates in action: czcams.com/video/PSqsO3lIxDU/video.html

    Learned from this video: in the 'real' world, the outbound loads would have already been switched out & waiting for #40 to arrive. So after grabbing the inbounds from #40, and spotting them in the yard. the outbounds would be placed on #40, and he'd be on his way. Time is money, right? ha ha.

    Notice how when they say that "studies show that masks may help stop the spread" NOTICE the word MAY! What this means is that it MAY NOT! Get it? It may rain today! This also means that it may NOT rain.

    I'm a cashier. If you will wear a hat, bike, motorcycle or other helmet or costume mask but not a mask to prevent virus spread, GO TO SELF CHECKOUT OR ORDER ONLINE. Don't go into any store. Not wearing a mask is like driving while impaired. Not every impaired driver gets into an accident but we know they're more likely to. This is the same thing. Masks help prevent spread of COVID-19, especially since people can be infected and not know it. It's one of the simplest things you can do to help protect each other. It's supported by smart anarchist too. This is a non partisan issue. czcams.com/video/Tfor4wG-WgE/video.html
