Good afternoon.
It is my first POST in this forum and I am using Google Translate, so I apologize for the translation.
?
My name is Mario and I live in Malaga in Spain. I have been a fan for a long time but only recently got into digital. Speaking with a colleague, they advised me to try to look for a Digikeijs DR5000 and I have not been able to find it. But searching on the internet I found a company in China that provided me with two Dijikeijs power stations without a WIFI module for my partner and me.
?
I give you a photo of the board and a small video with the error it has. I don't know if not having WIFI affects it, but when I turn on electricity, nothing works. The girl who sold it to me in China didn't give me confidence but I wanted to take the risk because I really wanted to have this power plant. I don't know if you can help me with this issue. I have asked in forums in Spain but they can't tell me what the problem could be.
?
I take this opportunity to tell you that my scale is N although I started with H0.
?
Thank you for your help and patience.
?
A greeting from Spain, Mario

Hello Mario, I’ve got a spare WiFi module for the DR5000, which you can have for free. The only thing I asking is that you pay for the shipping costs.?
With the module in the DR5000 you can test if everything working ok.
Let me know what you want
Kenneth?

Well, well... could you send a link to that company's website ?
?
Then to your problem. The DR5000 ( or better the plain PCB, since it is not even a DR5000 yet... ) has no firmware nor bootloader installed.
?
So basically these boards are useless... Unless... you find somebody who can flash you a bootloader, lock-bits, serialnumber etc. into it :)

Good afternoon from Spain.
Right, it's a girl called Eva from the EMS PCBA company.
Please, could someone help me on how to solve the problem I have with this board? It is impossible to find it to buy it in any store, not even second-hand (in this case they ask you for a lot of money and you don't know if what they are going to sell you is broken).
I work for a courier company and they were able to send it and pick it up wherever they told me. Of course I know that I will have to pay for the service.
Please, I was very excited to buy this DCC and it was impossible to find it, especially in Spain. Thank you very much for your help.
A greeting from Spain,
Mario.

Thank you very much Kenneth.
Mr. Kurts tells me that the problem is that it does not have firmware or bootloader.
I have to look for a company or someone who can help me install it, of course paying the appropriate amount.
Thank you again very much for your help.
Receive a cordial greeting from Spain

You will find it a lot cheaper just to buy a complete and working one from eBay, especially as the software and firmware required to make a ‘hooked’ one work is not available.
Thank you very much Kenneth.

That is the problem that I have searched everywhere and I have not found it. That's why I saw that option and I took the risk of buying it because there isn't one. That's why I say that if I have to pay to have the bootloader installed, I understand it and I do it and if it has to be sent anywhere, I wouldn't mind because I work for a global courier company and I could do the shipping.

Search on eBay for DR5000 or YD7001, I see several every month, though fewer in the past few weeks.

Mario,
it seems to me you are new in this group.
I really appreciate my name being spelled correctly.
I am the only person in the whole world that can solve your ?problem“.
I cannot, legally, turn it into a DR5000.
what I can do, is make it an YD7001-E.
That would cost you �85. wich includes a YD9401 module and the neccesary hardware mods. It does not include shipping back to you.
If you are interested, please contact us here:
greets,

I already told you that I have been searching on eBay, Wallapop (Spain) and it has been impossible. I wish I had found it because I am very excited to have said DCC. The one I have is the Roco z21 white but I wanted to have the DR5000 or the YD7001 and as I mentioned before, it was impossible to locate it.
Receive a cordial greeting,
Mario

Are you replying to me ???

Don't you know of a place where I can send the DCC and they can help me with my problem?
Thank you very much for your response.

Did you read at all my answers ????
If not, please do, otherwise you can just throw those boards into the garbage.
I am trying to help you, but this is my last try....

I apologize.
I had not seen it.
Of course I am interested in doing it as you indicate. We will send the two plates that a colleague and I bought.
Thank him personally.
