Rotary Coupler in action. Old Accurail dummy coupler turning a rotary coupler made by
Paul Mack
Positioner arm grabbing the coupler.
Parallax BOE controller, currently changed to a hardwired
Anderson Homebrew board.
Overview of the Rotary dumper, Positioner, gate servo, brake servo, controller board and all the wires. Have added an IR remote controller, a gate servo, lights, hardwired a Reset button to the BN control gondola, and Frere Jacques plays when the train has been emptied. All 16 pins are used and there are 3 bits of Ram and 2 Bytes of EEProm left. Someday i will move the controller board and all the dangling wires underneath the track area in front of the dumper... See it all in action on a U-tube
video.
