Hello dear YaMoRC friends,
?
Build 68 is here ?
?
Just in time for under the Christmas tree ? .
?
Both installers now have build 68 inside.
?
What has changed:
?
1. YD_Config-build-68
?
- Support for our booster YD7403
?
- The long-awaited update for the YD8116
->> Each definition now has the option of ticking the so-called NoInit flag. (see picture) This leaves the MTB point machines alone at startup.
->> Each definition can now have a "default aspect". This is then the aspect that is "started" during initialisation.
->> The operating voltage may now be from 9VDC instead of 12VDC. This makes it possible to use low-voltage power supplies, e.g. to connect Z-gauge items, or to operate LED lighting with less heat loss (in the ballast resistors)
?
- YD8044 and YD8008
--> Operating voltage now less critical with 12VDC supply.
?
- YD6016LN-xxx
--> The "Input actions" have been expanded with:
---| PowerOn ( track voltage on )
---| PowerOff ( track voltage off or emergency off )
---| Emergency ( track power on and locomotives on emergency stop )
?
- YD6016ES-xxx
--> No changes
?
- YD9100
--> No changes
?
?
2. YD_7001-build-68: (YD7001 V8.2.5)
?
- Support for the YD7001-E command station
--> Track and input voltage measurement.
- Full implementation of the ES-Link protocol on the ext88N socket
--> Connected YD6016ES can now be configured directly with the YD7001
- New slot management for WiThrottle applications, among others.
--> Slots can now be "Dispatched", set to "Idle" or "Purged" with the slot management. Both of the latter release slots that are no longer needed or were inadvertently reserved. This can eliminate the notorious "No Slot" in LocoNet applications.
?
?
?
And finally YD9401 (V1.1.7)
- Number of WiFi clients increased from 4 to 10
- WiThrottle implementation of Release/Dispatch/Purge revised.
- WiThrottle missing functionality implemented like:
--> Power On/Off?
--> Reports from server to client in case of e.g. a short circuit.
?
?
?
?
The instructions will be updated accordingly in the coming days.
?
?
Quite a lot all together.
?
?
A few general words about the update procedure:
?
1. always disconnect modules from input voltage, DCC signal, LocoNet, ExpressNet etc.
2. if possible, connect directly and alone to a YD9100. (or of course via your own USB)
3. use a USB isolator where possible if several USB devices are connected from the layout to the PC
4. before starting the update, always create a backup copy via "Export".
5. switch off and restart the modules after the update has finished (green bar has disappeared)?
6. check old settings and re-import the export if necessary.
?
?
I wish you every success and lots of fun with these new features. If something should not work, please let me know here or in the customer group on Facebook!?

With best wishes for Christmas,
Karst
