I should have the detection around that switch working today, and signals will come on line as I get them installed.
There’s still work to do on the CTC panel, but it will be talking back to JMRI. We’ll see.

May I recommend this story in the mean time. One of my favorites and I highly recommend it if you can stomach it.
Have the first working node out on the layout in it’s spot, and communicating with JMRI via the OpenLCB/LCC hub, and my home WiFi. JMRI responds as expected when the switch position is changed.
Next up is getting the detection working, hopefully this afternoon.

The detection “just worked” with only some tweaking the sensitivity of the sensor itself to fix (the quick change from red to yellow to red again)
Now all I have to do is add resistors to every car I have. Wheeee

Congrats Bob! Must be exciting.
Looks like the signal lights are quite visible in daylight, cool!
Yea, it’s really neat to see this stuff actually working after so many false starts, development, tweaking, changing, etc.

Now you get to teach the rest of us once yours is all set up!
Ordered a bunch more block detectors. If you order in sets of 3, they are shipped together. You can split them easily, but I wont need to. This will be handy because more than half of the nodes will need 3 detectors.
Very cool. I got one years ago to experiment with, but never got around to it. So I’m looking forward to watching you.
