I am glad to see you guys made it home. I will be in FL after the 15th of November and if you need help for a day now and then with the CMRI stuff let me know...
Don/Karen, Glad you guys are back at home and beginning to get better together :-) Keep smiling and keep thinking trains - the rest will take of itself I am...
I've been thinking about how much of a pain it is to gather the parts for the various boards and how nice it'll be to have Don back and able to supply them....
Jim, The last price increase/changes were when the new products came out such as
SMINI, etc. Not sure when that was? Don't think it was that long ago. Also...
... such as ... I've had my first SMINI for over two years. I know, having looked hard at trying to get all the stuff myself, that what Don charges can't...
Jim, Thanks for the info on when the SMINI's and other new products came out. I
thought it was around 2 years, but wasn't sure. I agree on all that you
say...
I hope Don continues to have the great kit line of CMRI components for us. It has been a lifesaver cost wise to me for interfacing a CMRI system to a
model...

Both of us are in the same boat far as completion of our CMRI systems Jim. I agree with everything you just said. I am sure Don with come up with a
plan to...
Hello, Don't know if any of you are incorporating any of the Cornerstone turntables
to your layout. I am now building my engine service facilites this winter...
Dave: There was some discussion last spring about these tables in a couple of the forums... JMRI, here and I forget which others. The gotcha with the control...
Thanks for the info Jim. Going to discuss some ideas with my friend tonight
on how much smarts do we want to achieve through CMRI and the turntable. I
can...
Dear Jim Sherman and all others addressing Don's pricing and need for extra support: Both Don and I work hard to make sure that our pricing is correct. We ...

Quick question for the group: I'm very new to the C/MRI system, however, I feel that I have a decent grasp of how to implement it on my small L&N based layout....
Jeff Easee Interfaces is trying to open to sales again. It might take a little effort for me to get the card finished but I am willing to start trying to...
... I agree. I can see that some folks are a tad short-sighted when it comes to saving money. If raising the prices will hurt Don because of that, that also ...

First look all that is needed is to know where the table is pointed (which track) then how many tracks it has to move. Using the electronic you describe, a...
Jeff, Empty circuit boards are available from Bruce Chubb, at http://www.jlcenterprises.net/ You would then need to purchase and install the components that...
Another thing not mentioned in this thread is that there's a small amount of simple programming required. There are excellent examples in the manuals and/or...
Thanks for the information Steve!! I've done quite a bit of "homework" so far and think i've got enough info to start driving my signals from the SMINI. I...
I appreciate your input David and everyone elses comments. As some of you
know, this cornerstone turntable indexer is kind of a catch 22 and for
anyone...
Dave: Thinking more on the table control. Using a DOUT to operate the push buttons either directly or with relays you could build a database of all the times...
Oops, my mistake Jim from last message. The control module has two other
little buttons to set indexes and to zero the unit. Plus the CW and CCW
buttons. Dave...
Very interesting. I will keep this in mind to make it more automated. The
same buttons that do direction CW and CCW direction also do the programming
of the...
