In this video I’m going to build a control panel for a section of my n scale model railroad to throw servos for my turnouts. I’m using LEDs to show how the turnouts are set and stomp switches to activate the servos. Everything is controlled by an Arduino Nano on an expansion board.

More info coming soon on how I programmed the Nano including a downloadable sketch.
