+[[english|Content]] -> [[english#hardware|Hardware]] -> [[english#ctc|CTC]]
+  * **CTC with LocoIO, CBUS or RocNetNode**
+{{  route.jpg}}\\
+===== Introduction =====
+Sometimes it is more fun to control the layout with real buttons as found in the real world **[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centralized_traffic_control|CTC]]**'s.\\
+This Wiki page will try to guide you building one your self using the hardware from Peter.\\
+The modules from one of the bus systems **[[english#locoio|GCA LocoIO]]**, **[[english#mergcbus|GCA CBUS]]** or **[[:rocnet:rocnetnode-en|RocNetNode]]** and also the **[[wio:overview-en|WIO]]** are usable.\\
+The interface modules and the setup for routes, sensors or switches are independent from the used bus system.\\
+ \\
+ \\
+===== Required Hardware =====
+===LocoNet===
+  * [[mgv50-en|GCA50]] LocoNet IO

+  *  Optional:    GCA123  Hand-held controller for Signals and switches.
+===CBUS (RCAN)===
+  * [[:can-gca2-en|CAN-GC2]] 16 port programmable I/O node
+    * Optional: [[:can-gc12-en|CANGC12]] wired remote control with 16 pushbuttons
+  * [[:can-gca1-en|CAN-GC1]] Serial and USB interface  **OR**
+  * [[:can-gca1e-en|CAN-GC1e]] Ethernet interface
+===RocNetNode===
+  * [[:gca_pi02-en|GCA-Pi02]] 32 I/O ports
+  * [[:gca1-pi01-en|GCA-Pi01]] Raspberry Pi / I2C interface
+  * **[[http://www.raspberrypi.org|Raspberry PI]]**
+===WIO===
+  * [[:gca-wio-en|WIO_01]] WIO_01 I/O with WiFi-Communikation
+  * [[:arduino:wio-en|WIO firmware]] Option "F1 FastLED" for RGB LEDs
+===Interfaces===
+  * [[mgv127-en|GCA127]] LED PCB (optional)
+  * [[mgv128-en|GCA128]] Button/Flip switch PCB (optional)

+===== Hardware Setup =====
+{{:mgv:hardware:mgv50_connect_1_50.jpg}}{{ctc:ln-ctc.jpg?400}}\\
+ \\
+==== Dual LEDs ====
+Control two LEDs with one output to save I/O for showing switch positions:\\
+{{ctc:dual-led-ctc.png}}\\
+A design for a test unit is found at [[http://http://wiki.rocrail.net/doku.php?id=mgv128-de|GCA128L]]\\
+Advantage of using two leds is that both leds are lit when I/O is initalised  for input.\\
+In addition to that, GCA128L also has pushbuttons when Ports are setup as Input.\\
+Pushing the button when port is iniated as output, does not harm in any way.\\
