Rene,

Thank you very much for the efforts of you and the GR staff to update, concatenate and put together a simple linked download page.

Everyone: We have made a corrections, added the radio frequency question and drilling template, and grouped into one file. Because the two batches of code need to be .txt files, those links are under the article download.

We are unable to provide additional schematics/etc., but I hope these changes make the series more useful for you. Get it here.

I third that recommendation.  There have been so many corrections and additions to the original article here and possibly on other boards that it is hard to decide if I really want to try assembling one.

There are 4 different topic threads about the Junior Throttle active on this board alone, now.

I heartily second the motion!  I plan to look at, and probably build, the Junior Throttle this coming winter.  At this point the information regarding the project seems a little flimsy and hard to follow.  A comprehensive packet of drawings, code and information would be greatly appreciated and as Narrowgauge writes, I'd also gladly pay for it.

I would like to suggest GR in conjunction with Mark and Vince put together a single document package for the entire throttle series.  This would include all required source code (tested and debugged), a complete parts list including suggested sourcing, schematics, wiring diagrams and full size board masks.  I am sure I speak for many that would gladly pony up a reasonable sum for a complete package.

This content could be offered up to subscribers only, or the general public, at GR's discretion.

FWIW, Bob C.
