GWire DCC Receiver Connection to a Generic DCC Decoder and Battery Power

Here are some notes:
The drawing has two leds and two light bulbs to show alternate connections. The maximum voltage for the battery is 24V. You must make a ground connection to the decoder. The easiest place to find a ground on any DCC board, is the anode of the power diodes. (The anodes are the ends without the stripes) two of the diodes will be connected together and this is the board groundand not connected to the Red or Black wires.
If running a lot of lamps the 7805 may need to be attached to a heatsink. The mounting tab is connected to ground and is not isolated.
