Title: Solder pads on sound value sound decoders Question
Post by: brokenrail on January 11, 2016, 11:31:56 AM
I have a few sound value diesel locomotives and have noticed  what looks like oval solder pads on the board like Tsumani uses for adding lights.They are not labeled .Is there any way to get more info on the reason for these being there but not labeled.Possibility of expansion of functions for future use?

A comedian has spoken. I see why those pads are  there .A o-scope tells all almost. And the sound decoder still works better stop there.
