Hello Brian,
Just on the LED and resistors. I used your link and came up with this. The book photo with the Biro line was the one I was looking at. Thought this might give me something to do while out of action.

Re: Mimic panel indicator lights.
Hello Brian,
I think I am getting a handle on this finally....
Got some spare time coming up so might be able to have a trial run with this.
You certainly have spent some time on these tutorials. They are a great resource.

Brian,
Haven't worried about the LED's in case this is a waste of time.
Failing the above post might just go with micro switches probably a lot easier in the long run.

Re: Mimic panel indicator lights.
Brian,
On the AE solenoid diagram it shows 3 terminals going from the switch end of the unit. The centre wire goes to the frog 2 other to the tracks. The other end of the solenoid to the toggle. It's those wires going to the track that I am thinking to connect to the LED's on the mimic board.

Re: Mimic panel indicator lights.
Hello Brian,
Thank you for the quick reply and to the rescue as usual. The toggle switches are the on-off-on spring to centre 2 amp. I understand the LEDs don't remain on after switching on at the mimic board but I had another idea to overcome this using those small trackside lights (red green ...

Mimic panel indicator lights.
Hello All,
This is all for the upcoming DCC system Brian convinced me to adopt.
I would like to wire in 24v LED panel lights to a mimic board from SPDT toggle switches.
I think I have a couple of problems though....
I have two iP digital point motors that will be running on regulated 12v DC ...

Re: Interlocking points.
Hello Dark Scot,
Thank you for the input. Incredible technology and interesting to watch sure would make life easy. Might be beyond me but something to think about.

Re: CDU's
Thank you for the reply. The AE solenoids are coil type and recommended operating voltage
24-15v.

CDU's
Hello All,
Is there a certain capacity for CDU's. Going on various sites there are numerous sizes but nothing in recommendations. I have a computer power unit rated up to 24v DC and 5amp. Using Dcc's AE point motors. I can't see me needing to switch any more than 3 points at a time probably just ...
