I WANT TO INSTALL TMCC ON MY 5X10 LAYOUT.MY QUESTION IS,HOW CAN I WIRE IN ALL MY KID FREINDLY ANIMATIONS,LOADERS AND SUCH TO THE TMCC ACS CONTROLLER SO I CAN USE THE CAB-1 TO CONTROL IT(I KNOW HOW TO WIRE IT FOR JUST TMCC) BUT HAVE IT STILL WIRED TO A REMOTE BUTTON SO MY 3 YOLD CAN STILL ACTIVATE IT?CAN THIS BE DONE JUST BY HAVING A 2ND SET OF WIRES RUNNING TO THE REMOTE BUTTON?HELP I DONT WANT TO BURN ANYTHING UP?
[#welcome] The ASC controller is going to basically flip a switch completing a circuit. I use buttons all the time to overide an SC-2 controller to run an accessory. Draw a sketch and you will see that the button will bypass the current that would normally go through your ACS.
Lionel also made a control called “Big Red”. It is a button that plugs into your CAB-1 that duplicates the last command from the CAB-1.
You can leave the button hookups for manual operation in addition to TMCC accessory operation through the SC2 or other devices. No problem.
