Hello Matt
thank you for your help. Now it works.

Also had to

// Infos for port expander PCA9685
// Usage:
// – If a USE_PCA9685 port expander is connected to your ESP8266, set USE_PCA9685 to true.
// Wiring:
// – PCA9685 is usually connected to pins D1 (clock) and D2 (data) of the ESP8266.
// – VCC is sourced from V3V of the ESP8266.
// – V+ is sourced from VIN of the ESP8266
// — VIN should be between 5 and 6 Volts.
// — According to the documentation, the PCA9685 will also sustain 12V, but this is not recommended and we have not tested it.
// — We have tested run the board with standard USV voltage (4,65V) and it worked without problems.
// – Connecting GND is mandatory.
// – OE should also be connected. If pulled high, servo power is switched off. Good to preserve your servos. Cabling is usually easiest if pin D0 is used as OE.
// Chaining:
// – Both PCA9685 and the firmware support chaining.
// – Board 1 has the address 0x40, the second one 0x41 etc.
// Servos:
// – Just connect the servos as designed. Servos connected to PCA9685 must be mapped in SWITCHPORT_PIN_PCA9685.
// Signals:
// – Connecting TrixBrix signals to the PCA9685 is somewhat tricky, because of the “common anode” (common plus terminal) of the signal LEDs.
// – The solution is to connect the middle wire (plus) to V3V of the ESP8266 (NOT the plus pins of the PCA9685 ports), and the outer wires to the PCA9685 pins.
// – It is important to remember the correct way of setting a pin on the PCA9685 to:
// — fully on: pwm.setPWM(port, 4096, 0);
// — fully off: pwm.setPWM(port, 0, 4096);
// Additional reference: https://learn.adafruit.com/16-channel-pwm-servo-driver?view=all

// Infos for I/O port expander MCP23017
// Usage:
// – If a MCP23017 I/O port expander is connected to your ESP8266, set USE_MCP23017 to true.
// Wiring:
// – SCL and SDA are usually connected to pins D1 (clock) and D2 (data) of the ESP8266.
// – VCC is sourced from V3V of the ESP8266.
// – GND is connected to GND of the ESP8266 (mandatory!).
// – RESET is connected with an 10K resistor to VCC
// – Address ports A0, A1 and A2 according to the desired address (0x20, 0x21, …). All connected to GND means address 0x20.
// Ports:
// – The ports of the are numbered as follows:
// – A0..A7: 0..7
// – B0..B7: 8..15
// Chaining:
// – Both MCP23017 and the firmware support chaining.
// – Board 1 has the address 0x20, the second one 0x21 etc.
// – Up to 8 boards can be connected.
// Sensors:
// – Connecting sensors to the MCP23017 is simple.
// – Just connect one of of the cable pair to GND, the other one to one of the ports of the MCP23017.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work yet. all LEDs are always on.

I don’t see anything in the port monitor either.
If I switch a turnout, I get “Flipping switch index 0 to angle 75” and with sensor as desired “Sensor 1 triggered.” and then “Sensor 1 released.”

Added the following:

Hi Mattze
Thanks for your reply and correcting.
I have now corrected my config as you have changed it in the development branch. And will test it tonight.

Thank you and your team for this great work.
Wish you a Happy New Year!
