Wye Points Control

This is the cover page for the Wye Points Control project.

Introduction

A  model train layout includes the following track known as a WYE,

Project Objectives

The project objectives were to duplicate the NCE Macro operation using small mimic panels (6 required associated with each rack). A micro controller takes the information and generates the required macro which is fed to the NCE Bus via an RS485 link.

The project modules

The project modules are:

Wye_Control_Buttons that includes 4 micro switches that request the path of the train via selecting the points

Wye_Control_Macro that generates the required macro

Wye_Control_RS485:  The interface to the NCE Bus

Wye Control Leds: A library thatcontrols the LEDS on the mimic panel to indicate the chosen/active routes.
