Sherlock

The Sherlock is a position detecting (pun intended) device specifically designed to work with the NCE Mini Panel. It can signal condition up to eight photo cells located between the ties of the track and provides eight triggers to the NCE Mini Panel, one per sensor. Use up to four Sherlock Wabbits with one Mini Panel. The combination of the Sherlock Wabbit with the NCE Mini Panel provides you with very powerful control of your layout. The optical sensors can provide a trigger either when they cover or uncover, and the Mini Panel can send an almost unlimited set of DCC commands based on the trigger input. Optical sensors are self-calibrating to the ambient light level present at power on. There is no need to mess with sensitivity adjustments. In very dark locations, a light source as small as a grain of wheat bulb is sufficient to operate the Sherlock's optical sensors.
