    You tutorials are excellent! Thank-you for sharing your knowledge and projects. Liked and subscribed. As I understand it, this decoder only takes DCC signals while your Loconet control panel does not directly control servos. As the DCC bus has limited capacity, have you considered a Loconet decoder for controlling servos?

    Hi! I usually develop DCC accessory decoders because they work with any DCC-compatible command station... on the other hand, Loconet is a proprietary bus and some stations don't support it. I may develop an accessory decoder that could work both with DCC and Loconet in the future!

    @@lucadentella That would be great! I'll stay tuned. 🙂 For smaller layouts, it is not a problem to have accessories on the DCC bus, but it can be a problem on larger layouts - hence the need for LCC, Loconet, or BiDiB, etc. For example, I have a throttle that if I use its advanced braking features, it clogs the DCC bus as it sends too many commands and other operators cannot control their trains. So now I only send DCC commands for controlling locomotives on the DCC bus and everything else on a separate bus (in my case, Loconet). Even though some command stations don't support Loconet, there are many adapters available or Loconet can be operated stand-alone. While Loconet is proprietary, it is free to use for personal use and is probably the most common accessory bus - at least in some markets.

    @@loddie9 you made the point! I normally use Loconet for throttles and sensors, but I think a loconet accessory decoder would be useful too, I'll work on it!
