4 months ago Use version 5.2.18 Wire your track B to your reverse loop Execute the following commands (or put them in the startup): <= B MAIN><= B AUTO><1 B> Test if it works

4 months ago There are several automatic methods for handling this without short detection and without using an extra track output from your motor shield. Assuming this is a loop and not a Y or diagonal, then the polarity of the loop section only needs to match the state of the turnout. If it didn't you would not be able to pass over the turnout anyway.
Exrail can easily switch your DPDT relay in sync with the turnout position E.G below.
Others have written small scripts that automatically set the turnout as you approach it from either branch... this requires a couple of sensors and a tiny exrail script.

Title: Reversing loop
Description: I want to add reversing loop control by detecting high (short circuit) current detection using the signal from the motor driver to trigger a relays on an Arduino relay shield to switch polarity on the reversing loop. I can write the software for this action but how do I insert it into the EX-CommandStation sketch.
