Product information
RKsc2 Servo Control Unit - Constructed
This handy little product has been designed to actuate micro servos which are a popular choice for turnout/point control. The PCBs have been designed to be compact and simple to use, there is a control PCB and a separate toggle switch PCB, the toggle switch PCB attaches to the control PCB with a 30cm ribbon cable. It is just a case of plugging the servos to the headers and there are LEDs to indicate switch/servo position. Power comes from a 5VDC supply and it is possible to daisy chain further modules from a single power supply. This is perfect for use with Rk Education’s servo mounting bracket RKBracket1 and servo extension leads.

Great product
I bought this at the Doncaster model railway show with servos, brackets and wire and have just got around to using it to replace solenoids on my layout. Brackets are high quality, the fit is excellent. Very easy to set up. Takes around 10 minutes per point to fit the servo, wire, position and fix and needs no adjustments. Very happy, massive improvement over solenoids. Wished I'd known about it earlier.
