MegaPoints servo controller Revision 24 April 2016
www.loolee.org Page: 3
Introduction
The MegaPoints Servo Controller is a sophisticated
microprocessor capable of managing up to 12 inexpensive
servos for points or semaphore signals independently in a
scale like manner. Each of the servos can be individually
configured and have their movement limit set for each
direction, reversed and the speed adjusted to suit your
particular application. It is also capable of advanced features
such as master/slave pairing and offers a useful memory
recall feature.
Each of the 12 servos is operated by a toggle switch requiring
a single wire that is switched to a common feed (ground). This
gives a huge reduction in cabling as the MegaPoints Servo
Controller can be placed close to the servos on the layout
requiring only a single wire for each servo to the mimic panel.
New features
The table below lists new features and the board version
introduced. See the respective sections for details.
Remote programming, page 7.
External high current voltage regulator support,
page 12.
Removed semaphore cycle on power up.
NOTE: See the vertical bar on the left margin for changes between document versions.
Semaphore bounce program
All units shipped in 2015 include a bouncing semaphore signal option that is accessed by cycling
through the MODE options while in programming mode. Programs 1 &2 are for points and 3 & 4 are
for semaphore signals. See the appendix for a full list of configuration options. See YouTube videos
via our web site for examples and setup.
Note: No additional programming hardware is required to operate or configure this unit.
MegaPoints Controllers use
static sensitive components
that must be handled with
care.
Avoid touching any
components or the circuit
printed on the bottom of
the board.
Avoid placing the board on
any metallic surfaces
including track.
