+The Extended Accessory Decoder Control Packet is included for the purpose of transmitting aspect control to signal 
+decoders or data bytes to more complex accessory decoders. Each signal head can display one aspect at a time. 
+{preamble} 0 10AAAAAA 0 0AAA0AA1 0 000XXXXX 0 EEEEEEEE 1
+
+XXXXX is for a single head. A value of 00000 for XXXXX indicates the absolute stop aspect. All other aspects 
+represented by the values for XXXXX are determined by the signaling system used and the prototype being 
+modeled.
+
+From https://normen.railcommunity.de/RCN-213.pdf:
+
+More information is in RCN-213 about how the address bits are organized.

+bits (bits 4-6 of the second data byte) are in ones complement" but

+the advanced packet follows the one for the basic packet but

+
+//        - Exrail ASPECT(address,aspect) for above.

+//        - EXRAIL DCCX_SIGNAL(Address,redAspect,amberAspect,greenAspect)
+      This defines a signal (with id same as dcc address) that can be operated
+      by the RED/AMBER/GREEN commands.   In each case the command uses the signal
+      address to refer to the signal and the aspect chosen depends on the use of the RED
+      AMBER or GREEN command sent. Other aspects may be sent but will require the
+      direct use of the ASPECT command.
+      The IFRED/IFAMBER/IFGREEN  and ONRED/ONAMBER/ONGREEN commands contunue to operate
+      as for any other signal type. It is important to be aware that use of the ASPECT
+      or <A> commands will correctly set the IF flags and call the ON handlers if ASPECT
+      is used to set one of the three aspects defined in the DCCX_SIGNAL command. 
+      Direct use of other aspects does not affect the signal flags.
+      ASPECT and <A> can be used withput defining any signal if tyhe flag management or

+    This cutout will only work on a Mega2560 with a single EX8874 motor shield
+    configured in the normal way with the main track brake pin on pin 9.
+    <C RAILCOM ON>    Turns on the cutout mechanism.
+    <C RAILCOM OFF>   Tirns off the cutout. (This is the default)
+    <C RAILCOM DEBUG> ONLY to be used by developers used for waveform diagnostics.
+       (In DEBUG mode the main track idle packets are replaced with reset packets, This
+       makes it far easier to see the preambles and cutouts on a logic analyser or scope.)

+       This Macro causes the creation of JMRI <S> type sensors in a way that is

+         JMRI_SENSOR(100)   is equenvelant to <S 100 100 1>

+//        - include HAL_IGNORE_DEFAULTS macro in EXRAIL
+            The HAL_IGNORE_DEFAULTS command, anywhere in myAutomation.h will 
+            prevent the startup code from trying the default I2C sensors/servos.  
+// 5.2.24 - Exrail macro asserts to catch 
+//            : duplicate/missing automation/route/sequence/call ids
+//            : latches and reserves out of range
+//            : speeds out of range
+            Causes compiler time messages for EXRAIL issues that would normally
+            only be discovered by things going wrong at run time. 
+// 5.2.13 - EXRAIL STEALTH
+            Permits a certain level of C++ code to be embedded as a single step in
+            an exrail sequence. Serious engineers only.
