Wiring - cable colors

 

A quick guide on the colors chosen for the wires:

  • Black: this is the O pin out from the ECoS Command Station. Any black wires can be connected to any other black wires.
  • Red: there are two purposes for the red cables:
    1. The B pin out from the ECoS Command Station. Any "B" cables can be connected to any other red "B" cables. This is no retro signal from those "B" cables. It is mainly used for the switches and probably some very small sections on the layout
    2. Other red cables are for the retro signal for each section. Those cables cannot be mis-connected!
  • White and blue cables carry the power for the switch motors
  • Green: this is for powering the frog of the switches - this has not been done yet!
