@cnwdon posted:Have not found a thread that is “on point” for the particular situation we’re setting up. What is the experience for a large club or personal layout where such an extensive use of this technology is in place? For example, I wonder if the daisy chain has practical limits as to number of devices. Has someone needed to use a second Legacy base (perhaps a Base 1L) as receiver and base for daisy-chaining a fraction of the ASC2’s and other devices in order to get good performance? Care with securing all those chained connectors is a given; one break would shut down everything downstream. Input from your experience will be most appreciated.
Well, I'm pretty sure you'll have to consider boosting the power to support that many LCS devices, Lionel used to have a power breakout board for that very reason. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see that many devices require a booster for the serial data likes as well. I haven't done that with LCS, but I spent many years working with serial data communications in a large scale environment, specifically the NYSE and various member firms in the 1980's and 90's.
