Turtle LocoIO Configuration

[edit] LocoIO PIC Firmware Programming with MicroChip's ICSP

The Detector board has a Microchip-compatible ICSP interface for updating the firmware programming on the PIC. This interface works with Microchip's ICD, CCS's own programmer and other ICD clones.

Hans DeLoof's LocoIO firmware works unchanged on this board.

[edit] LocoIO SV Configuration with DeLoof's LocoIO programmer

Each of the four turnouts controlled by the Turtle appears as a set of 4 LocoIO ports:

Port	Pin	Description	Direction	Details
A	1	Motor Control	Output	Normal=5v and Diverging=gnd
A	2	!Normal	Input	Gnd = Points Normal, +5v="Not Normal"
A	3	!Diverging	Input	Gnd = Points Diverging, +5v="Not Diverging"
A	4	!Occupied	Input	Gnd = Occupied, +5v=empty
Port	Pin	Description	Direction	Details
B	1	Motor Control	Output	Normal=5v and Diverging=gnd
B	2	!Normal	Input	Gnd = Points Normal, +5v="Not Normal"
B	3	!Diverging	Input	Gnd = Points Diverging, +5v="Not Diverging"
B	4	!Occupied	Input	Gnd = Occupied, +5v=empty
Port	Pin	Description	Direction	Details
C	1	Motor Control	Output	Normal=5v and Diverging=gnd
C	2	!Normal	Input	Gnd = Points Normal, +5v="Not Normal"
C	3	!Diverging	Input	Gnd = Points Diverging, +5v="Not Diverging"
C	4	!Occupied	Input	Gnd = Occupied, +5v=empty
Port	Pin	Description	Direction	Details
D	1	Motor Control	Output	Normal=5v and Diverging=gnd
D	2	!Normal	Input	Gnd = Points Normal, +5v="Not Normal"
D	3	!Diverging	Input	Gnd = Points Diverging, +5v="Not Diverging"
D	4	!Occupied	Input	Gnd = Occupied, +5v=empty

[edit] LocoIO SV Configuration with JMRI

The LocoIO programmer in JMRI will also program these cards. Choose

• "Output: Steady State, single output, On at Power up"
• "Input: Turnout Feedback, dual sensor, #1"
• "Input: Turnout Feedback, dual sensor, #2"
• "Input: Block Detector, Active Low"

for each of the 4 subsections.
