SwitchWright - Servo-based switch machine.  Compact, versatile and powerful, the SwitchWright is a simple and easy to under the table switch machine.  Complete with DCC and a DPDT relay for powering the frog and other accessories.  Can be controlled with a ready-to-mount fascia controller with indicator LEDs or use a toggle switch.  Control panels are simple with our plug-in controller - no soldering needed.

 

5 Volt 4 Amp Power Supply SKU DPS005

The ideal power supply for the SwitchWright, this unit is well-regulated and current protected. The unit has a barrel connector that fits the adapter below or you can cut it off and strip the wires. It can support about 30 SwitchWright switch machines. 115V (US) input only (not suitable for 230V).

 

 

Want DCC control?  A builtin DCC stationary decoder allows you to use DCC, a pushbutton or both.

Multiple Controllers?  Just use a Y cord and you can add a second controller.  A second Y cord and you can have 3 controllers.

 

Aruduino fans will find this works nicely for them.  It uses a 5volt power supply.  While you can easily drive servos with an Arduino this board allows you to seperate all the complex code of running a servo, setting the positions and activating a rely from the rest of your code.  All you need is a simple Digitalwrite statement and a single output from the Arduino. Another advantage is that the Switchwright can prevent servo buxxing by turning off the servo and restarting when needed.  This function requires special hardware not normally available on an Arduino.

 

Crossover and passing sidings with single button control?  You can use a Y cord to add a slave machine that will move in parallel so you can move two turnouts with one button.   Ideal for controlling crossovers and passing sidings.  Double crossover?  Just add 3 more slaves with Y cords and all 4 points of a double crossover can be controlled with one pushbutton.

 

Based on an RC servo the SwitchWright is only 1.5” tall and 2” wide with a 3” actuating wire. Parts are laser cut by Monster Model Works.

A compact and versatile ready-to-run switch machine. Arduino users - The SwitchWright Servo decoder uses 5 volts and can be powered directly from an Arduino. Need help deciding on which product you need? See the Which servo driver and Which frog juicer decision tables. Skill Level: Intermediate - servo installationis similar to stall motor and to use relay funtion you need to understand how to wire a frog.
