DCC for turntable control?
Posted by prompter on Tuesday, November 29, 2005 7:19 PM
I'm plannng to use Walthers 90' turntable with their motorizing kit. I've seen it run using a 3 volt DC supply (nice and slow operation), and wonder if I can power it using a standard mobile decoder with V-MAX set to 3 volts?

Yep, you would have to expiriment to see what speed step setting is 3 volts. But once you find that out it should be pretty simple. Just program all speed steps to whatever 3 volts is. If you dont have decoderpro than you should just set the start/mid/max to 3 volts so you only have to modify 3 CVs instead of 128.
