Hello,
Anyone have information on what is up with Digikeijs? I have been looking for a DR5088RC and DK50018 for some time. Is the lack of availability of chips due to limited and poor quality Chinese production the cause or has YaMoRC replaced them?

The designer of the Digikeijs products has indeed moved on and started his own company YaMoRC. While Digikeijs owns the designs of their products and the rights to produce them, they will have trouble doing so if they can't obtain the components. In addition, component obsolescence means they will need to change the designs, and either have or hire in the skills to do so. My prediction is that the Digikeijs products will disappear, and that you will need to look to YaMoRC for replacement products. The good news is that at least the Digikeijs DR5000 command station can be upgrade into a YaMoRC product. Do you need Railcom? If not, one of the YaMoRC feedback modules may work for you, while YaMoRC has switch decoders. As an alternative, here in Sweden there's a small company called Mollehem making very affordable occupancy detectors and switch decoders, see www.mollehem.se/index.php/en/control-and-electronics |
