Wire 12 Volts
Wire diodes (Optional, to prevent burning-in relay contacts)
Wire GND
Connections of the turnouts
Extend the board with a (status)display
Optionaly extend the controller with a display.
Adaptor for the display
Example of configuration
The files turnout_config_a.json and turnout_config_b.json in the config directory of this repository gives a good example of configuring the board.
