<p>[quote user="PittBull"]</p> <p>I have just started a new N scale 30x96 layout. I have the NCE Power Cab, PECO code 55 and Peco Unifrogs. I just started to install the Cobalt Classic Omega turnout motors for my mainline, A/D and yard.</p> <p>I am having a real hard time getting my head around how to control everything from JMRI and/or my Cab. Electronics is not my strong suit.</p> <p>I have read up on LCC and using controls from RR-Cirkits. It seems so overwhelming right now.</p> <p>Is there a magic bullet to use to master this stuff?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>No magic bullet. If you are interested in LCC, I would encourage you to join the LCC users groups.io. There are many people in there that are well equipped to answer any questions you might have. </p> <p>My layout Elk Creek Logging Co. (see facebook link below) uses Layout Command Control and an NCE PowerCab. I am not familiar with the cobalt switch motors. The hook up of the circuits are relatively simple with LCC, if you understand basic electrical principles and can follow a wiring diagram. I used the break out boards to simplify splitting out the ribbon cable. There is a learning curve for configuration of each LCC node, but once you understand the definitions of each type of action and each type of event, it is relatively easy to understand. The groups.io message board is very responsive with answering questions and troubleshooting problems. </p> <p>LCC groups.io</p> <p><a href="https://groups.io/g/layoutcommandcontrol/topics">https://groups.io/g/layoutcommandcontrol/topics</a></p>
