🔄 The Power of DCC-EX: Model Railway Automation Made Easy

While most commercial systems stop at basic train movement, **DCC-EX** excels in what comes next: layout control and automation. This open-source platform gives you unprecedented flexibility without proprietary lock-in.

The standout feature is advanced **DCC Turnout Control** for virtually any mechanism, including:

• **Solenoid Motors**
• **Servo Motors** (for prototypical slow motion)
• **Motor-Driven Mechanisms**

Most commercial systems either require expensive proprietary add-ons or simply don't support these advanced options. With DCC-EX, flexibility and expandability are core features.

🎯 Prototypical Movement with Servo Control

Want your turnouts to transition slowly, just like the real thing?

By adding **servo motors** and utilizing the flexible DCC-EX firmware, you can easily program smooth, prototypical slow-motion turnout transitions. This feature transforms your layout from a basic loop into a fully operational, realistic railway system.

We recommend pairing your setup with the powerful **PCA9685 servo controller** (available soon) to manage complex yard routing with precision.

🛠️ Open-Source Freedom: Customize Your Layout

Because the **DCC-EX system is open-source**, you are empowered to expand and experiment without limitations. Take your layout to the next level by implementing:

• **Automated Train Movements:** Program sequences for hands-free operation.
• **Macro Creation:** Define complex multi-turnout control with a single command.
• **Occupancy Detection & Signalling:** Integrate sensors for safe, route-based signal logic.

🤝 Support and Community

Even if all you’ve done so far is run a train around a loop, that's a perfect start. Now that you have **DCC-EX**, you hold the keys to a fully controllable, smart, and flexible digital railway system.

If you’re unsure where to begin your automation journey, our expert support team and the active **DCC-EX community** are here to help.
