D.C. Custom Electronics

We are happy to announce that, along with a new revision of our control system, we will be offering a plug and play breakout board to simplify your wiring!

The breakout will include relays for things like; horn, bell, amplifier, and more. Fused outputs, diagnostic lights, and optional dry contacts for outputs! Clean up your wiring and make troubleshooting a breeze!

Updates to the ILC controllers include:

- Added electrical protections for a more robust unit
- Slowed down data speeds for more reliable and longer distance control (does not negatively affect responsiveness of the controls)
- Fixed issue with wired MU direction control
- New leed unit line terminator (leed dongle)

Due to some technical changes all future ILC controllers will be incompatible with previous versions.

(existing customers contact us if purchasing any additional units with the intention to MU to your older existing unit)

Today we did some extensive testing of our wireless MU modules. We were able to put a fully powered DPU at the rear of a 20 car train without issue. Both locomotives ran smooth. Maintaining speed and power was very easy. No derails as a result of the DPU (one car picked a switch point while in the yard).

We have one modification to make to the modules and then a little more testing before they can become availible.
