 My AM-1S is on the way and I am ready for this latest toy for me to enjoy.

I have a bunch of LED's and resisters for a lighting project with my Sawmill and then add the Sawmill sounds.

 Golly gee wiz,  my plate never seems to get empty and that is just fine with me.

 Maybe I'll run an engine one of these days but I like fiddling with electronics etc.

Y'all having phun?  Cheers, Darryl

  Howdy all,

 This morning I received two goodies.

One was the AM-1S of which will be put to work this evening. Lights ready to burn er light !
One other item is MRCS Model Railway Switch Motor MP1.  Sure is a very small control unit 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 x 3/4 give or take a fraction.

 I can tell you I am having the time of my life with all these new fangled electronic-electrical and mechanical toys. Yippie

Cheers, Darryl in Ory-Gun

Darryl,

If you are going to connect the MP-1 to the AM-1S, you should follow the connection diagram for a 3-wire snap motor.  For example, the AM-1S OP1 connects to the MP-1 (+)COM, the AM-1S O1 connects to the MP-1 poz1, and the AM-1S O2 connects to the MP-1 poz2.  IMPORTANT: For this to work you will need to set the AM-1S Switch Type to "Motor Operated."

Have a blast, and let us know how it goes!

Darryl,

It seems from your posts that RailPro has given you somewhat of a new lease on the hobby. I'm glad to see that. I think most of us have gotten the new lease after going to RailPro.

Remember folks, the AM-1S is not for turnouts, that's the job of the AM-1 (no sound). It might be possible to hook the MP-1 up the an AM-1S using the MRCS Remote Stall Motor Controller (RSMC) but I wouldn't bother trying it, unless your really into problem solving and electronics.

My apologies, I was unaware of this.  I hope it did not cause any problems.  Many thanks to Tim for setting me straight.

It's too bad, though.  I thought it would be cool to throw a turnout with accompanying sounds, but with the PWM output of the AM-1S that would indeed be a challenge.
