Servos


Servos can be used for point motor (or turnout) control, or for controlling semaphore signals. On my layout all of the points are operated by Servos.

These servo controllers require no programming, the servo angle or distance of travel is simply set with trimpots using a screwdriver and the direction can be reversed with a switch.

New Simple Servos 6 will drive 4 Servos, each is set to 2 position, these are ideal for servos used as point motors or other simple animations. For more information download these instructions.
The Price for Simple Servos 6 is only $60 (this is $15 per servo)

Simple Servos 5 will drive 2 Servos, each is set to 3 position. These are ideal for servos used driving semaphore signals, other animations. Each position is able to be finely adjusted for the correct position. In this version there are 6 Trimpots (blue Square) instead of the normal 4. The centre Trimpot is used to Adjust the centre position.
These controllers also drive the servo slower for more realistic operation. For more information download these instructions. The Price for Simple Servos 5 is $60

Simple Servos 4 will drive 2 Servos, each is set to 2 position, these are ideal for servos used as point motors or other simple animations. For more information download these instructions. The Price for Simple Servos 4 is now reduced to $45. (limited stock).

You will also need a 5v power supply and switches. For the 2 position servo controller ON/ON toggle switch is recommenced (3 pin is fine). For the 3 position servo controller ON/OFF/ON toggle switch is recommenced (3 pin is fine). The switches can be supplied with the controller for $2 each.
