Speed/Torque Adjustment - This allows you to set the speed of stall motors like the Tortoise or to use just about any 6-12 voltage motor as a stall motor by lowering the voltage to the point where they just move and hold the points.

Local Control and Indication - The Turtle has a port for a Tam Valley Depot Fascia Controller (see below) or a Barrett Hill Touch Triggers (available from Barrett Hill). Power with DCC or with 12-18VDC.

Remote DCC Control - The Turtle can be activated by DCC switch/accessory commands. Setting the address is simple. Press the Address button and then issue the switch command you want it to respond to in the future.

Local Lock Out - You can use a DCC command to lock out the local fascia controller. This allows you to use the Turtle on CTC controlled layouts where a central operator can control the access to a turnout.

Feedback - The S pin on the controller can be used for 5v logic feedback.

Relays - Need more contacts or isolated contacts? Add our 5V relay to the controller port (see below).

Arduino - You can use the Turtle with an Arduino. Send a 100ms pulse to toggle the state. You can read the port back to determine the state.

Turtle Stall Motor DCC and Local Control Driver Board
This item includes board and mounting kit. For local control you will also need a Fascia Controller (see below). For connecting to a motor the options are to use the jumper wires below, your own wires soldered to the output pins, or a servo extension cable. The MP1 motor requires a 3-wire connection so the servo cable is a good option. The jumper wires connect directly to the the M1 and M2 output pins on the board. The wires can be plugged in to each other to extend the distance beyond 12". The Turtle w/ Fascia Controller and a Tortoise draws about 10 mA (0.01 A) of power.

Bicolor Fascia Controller for Micro Singlet, QuadPIC, QuadLN, Turtle and Octo III

Plug the fascia controller in to our servo controllers to both actuate the board and to indicate its status.
There are 4 optional colors available. The controller has one LED Red and the other Green, when the button is pushed the turnout will throw and the Red and Green LEDs reverse.

LED Fascia Controller Kit (makes 4 controllers)

Contains PC boards and parts needed to build 4 fascia controllers with bi-color LEDs (3-lead type). The resistors and transistors are pre-mounted and the board tested. An advantage of building from the kit is that you can mount the components on a control panel anywhere you wish and then wire them back to the PC board. Servo extension cord not included in kit.
