Edits Booster CDE Interface


In the Elektor books and on internet, a couple of interfaces can be found to use the Edits booster.
However, most of them require a start (and stop) button. Also the ones that automatically start, do not work with DCC signals and the short circuit does not react correctly with other systems.

Therefore I created a new interface with logic in a PIC microcontroller. I use the Edits Booster via this interface with a Digikeijs DR5039, connected to a DR5000 to power relays, lights, switches, etc.

DO NOT USE THE DR5000 AND THE EDITS BOOSTER ON ONE TRACK!
THE EDITS BOOSTER AND H-BRIDGE BASED POWER SUPPLIES DO NOT MATCH!
