Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to set up an automatic station stop with a DCC layout? I used to have this on my analog system and it was alot of fun. I run an NCE PH Pro 10 amp system. Currently all of my decoders are ESU Loksound XL v.4.
I know this is an option that could be triggered with a magnet for ESU, the trouble is once the locomotive stops im not sure how I would have it start again after a time delay.Many decoders support the ABC (Automatic Braking Control) invented by Lenz.
Basically you make asymmetric DCC and then the loco will slow to a stop.
Many adjustable parameters.
Read this, you will see how the "asymmetric" DCC signal is done with a few diodes, making one of the "voltages" higher than the other...
Zimo does this too.
