Michael Hardwick described how he built a push-button traverser track using an Arduino microcontroller, 3-D printer parts, and other low-cost electronics in the August 2018 Model Railroader. Click on the link below to download the computer program that Michael uses to operate the traverser.

Hi Michael
I’m a model railroader in gauge n, I create as much as possible myself, the tracks are from fasttrack and the shell of my layout is half finished.
At the moment I’m planning my own turntable, not too big, but with good controls.
What to watch out for if you want to control a turntable with Arduino and buttons. About 6-8 track exits are planned. Do you have any tips for me? Would be very happy.
With kind regards
