Has anyone look at loading the Loco Number for a DR5588RC? I’m not sure if it’s even possible. Cheers G George Bryan Blaxland NSW Australia

To use it in a wye the most common way is to make a DR5013 controlled reverse section in one of the legs between the 3 turnouts which needs to be long enough to hold a complete train. The other option is to make everything coming from one of the turnouts, including the turnout all part of the DR5013 fed track. This is ideal when going to a dead end branch – you would run the entire branch through the DR5013. Hopefully makes sense, difficult to make drawings in a text document ?

I need some help with wiring a reverse loop. I’m running DR5000,2 x DR5033 boosters and DR5013. Now the reverse loop is a triangle not as described in the instructions. Would it be best to simply use the DR5013 as a reverse loop module(as I am currently), or with two sensors. Am I right that this arrangement avoids the short when the loco crosses to the reverse loop track? Then I am confused about how to set it up correctly on the DR5013. The DR5013 becomes the feedback module but despite reading the instructions countless times I still need some guidance. thanks Dave

I'm having trouble with the programming track output on my DR5000. When not in programming mode I can drive a loco on a track connected to that output so I know all the connections are good but in programming mode it just shows No Load. Am I missing something obvious? Andi

The DR5088RC unit has a warning about not plugging a USB cable into the unit unless you disconnect the DCC power first. Most other modules do not have this warning. There is a fix for this, you can buy a USB Opto-Isolator Adapter from Amazon that uses your USB Cable. This unit can also be used on the other modules with a USB port so you do not have to worry if you need the Opto-Isolator or not.. Here is the Link if you want to purchase one. https://amzn.to/2VkIzhT

Has anyone had any experience reading a Loco ID using a DR5088RC then stopping that train. I have a hidden staging yard with both through and dead-end roads. The roads have sensors which can sense the position and direction of the train. I control the system using a Arduino Mega running software I have written. The system sends the incoming train into the next available road and stops the train by cutting off the power to the road. Clearly there are issues with the trains in the dead-end roads and tracking what train is in what road. I plan to use a DR5098RC to find which train is where and I would like to be able to stop a train without turn off the power to the road. Thanks George George Bryan Blaxland NSW Australia

Hi The railroad club I belong to has seven DR5033 boosters and a DR5000 command station. To give each of the DR5033 boosters a unique number I connected a loconet cable from the DR5033 LocoNet B jack to the DR5000 Loconet B jack, started up the DR5000 configuration app on a laptop, clicked on the Loconet B symbol in the app, and proceeded to configured them one at a time, giving each of them a number from 1 to 7, and set other CVs according to our planned configuration. The only trouble I had was that I discovered if you did not selected 'DR5033' from the module name drop down box, you would get a TIMEOUT and the configuration changes would not happen - when I consistently selected DR5033, each DR5033 was easy to configure. We installed and connected the boosters to the Loconet cable that runs between them and plugged this cable into the DR5000. Everything worked as expect when tested - we were able to address and run locos without any problems. We decided we wanted to make one CV change on each of the boosters and assumed we could do this from the central DR5000 command station. Even with the module name set to DR5033, and the module address set to one of the DR5033s (e.g. 5), all we got was timeouts when trying to read or change CVs. The first question is can we make these changes to one of the DR5033s from the central DR5000 command station? If yes, can you please describe the process so that we can figure out what we are going wrong. Thanks in advance

Hi all. I have a DCC bus that has a voltage of 14.5 volts measured using an RRampmeter. The input to my DR4088CS is the same at 14.5 volts, the no load output is 0.9v lower on all 16 outputs at 13.6v. Is this normal? Is this a diode sensing device? Regards. Colin

I have had my DR5000 since about September and have it paired with a 5033 booster. I have now had a some strange behaviour with the addresses on ESU Loksound V4 decoders. Today I bought a new loco and transferred the chip from one loco to another. The address on the chip was 4077. I put the chip on my ESU Lok Sound programmer checked the configuration and changed the address to 4137. When I put this loco on the track the DR5000 did not recognise the chip. I put it on the DR5000 program track and it read the address correctly and any Cv,s. But it would not recognise the loco on the main or operate it. I put it on the program track and changed the address to 3 it worked fine, but when I put it back to 4137 it did not work. I tried another change this time back to the original address of 4077 and it worked. So I reset the chip and tried again, it was still the same. So I put it on the Lok Programmer and reloaded the project file onto the chip. Back onto the DR5000 program track and still the same issues, it will work as 3 or 4077 but not as 4137. Now a couple of weeks ago I had a similar problem with a friends loco, it had an address of 026. It needed reprogramming on the Lok Sound programmer but when it went on the track the DR5000 did not recognise it. So I reset it, wrote the address on the program track to 026 and it worked. But none of this worked today with my chip, I have given up and changed it to 3 for now. The odd thing is I setup my old NCE Powercab and the loco worked fine ever time even as 4137, I even tried writing the address on that system and still it would not work,on the DR5000. I am not far off giving up with the system, does anyone have any idea what is going on. Regards Doug

Does anyone have experience of Dr Script as I am trying to get the scripting tool to turn on an accessory when a train is detected in a block on my DR5088RC and then turn it off again when the train exits the block. Any assistance would be very welcome.

Hi, Has anyone had any success loading and then running the DR4040 DigiLEDs software? I can get it to install on to my laptop, but it simply won't run at all. I have a DELL laptop running Windows 10. Many thanks, Stuart.

I have been using my DR5000 for well over a year and have not had problems with loco or turnout/signal addressing - until now. (That is I have had some addressing problems that I have been able to avoid until now.) I have been trying to set up DCC control of Qdecoder Signal decoders controlled by my DR5000 which is in turn controlled by Rocrail. (I also have a Roco multimous wired to the DR5000 for manual control) I have also tested with the DR5000 configuration software via USB. After much head scratching I finally attached a DCC sniffer to analyse what is actually happening on the wires. I have found that the actual DCC addressing on the wire is offset by +14 (for DCC accessory modules) or +57 (for DCC Accessory ports). I don't understand why there is this offset since the DR5000 logging window (and Rocrail) report the correct addressing. I have 6 DR4018 and 3 simple Qdecoder signal modules attached and these work OK because they were programmed for addressing using their reset buttons and Accessory commands from the DR5000 so the devices have taken the addresses I assigned - except they havn't and are working with address offsets described above. I do have Loconet connected 1xDR4088, 4xDR5088, 1xDR5052 and 1xDR5033 which appear to work correctly. The Qdecoder signal modules are necessarily pre-programmed (the signalling sequences are not simple) and work with the correct addresses (port addresses 401 upward) on my test system (Rocrail and SPROGII for DCC). It is this I am having problems with due to the (invisible) addressing offset. There must be a simple reason for the offset but I do not know what that is. Could it be my DR5000 configuration? Or attached Loconet feedback/tt/booster modules? Or Roco multimaus? I add extracts (full file attached) with command of a turnout supposedly at Module Address 21 Port 1 (Port address 80) (a DR4018) [LL1] T: 80 /* [LL1] T: 80 // [LL1] T: 80 |* [LL1] T: 80 || and a Qdecoder signal module at Module Address 101 Port 1 (Port address 400) -two commands for correct aspect. [LL1] T: 401 /* [LL1] T: 400 /* [TM0] T: 400 // [TM0] T: 401 // From DCC Sniffer:- 09:09:09.229 -> Decoder Address is:- 35 Packet Data is:- Acc 137 35:0 Cmd bit is Off O/P bit is Off 09:09:12.075 -> Decoder Address is:- 35 Packet Data is:- Acc 137 35:0 Cmd bit is On O/P bit is On and:- 09:09:23.735 -> Decoder Address is:- 115 Packet Data is:- Acc 457 115:0 Cmd bit is On O/P bit is Off 09:09:23.769 -> Decoder Address is:- 115 Packet Data is:- Acc 458 115:1 Cmd bit is On O/P bit is Off 09:09:23.769 -> Decoder Address is:- 115 Packet Data is:- Acc 457 115:0 Cmd bit is On O/P bit is Off 09:09:23.802 -> Decoder Address is:- 115 Packet Data is:- Acc 458 115:1 Cmd bit is On O/P bit is Off TIA Tony

Hi, I'm new in the group. Since one week I have a DR5000. All it's ok connecting through USB. But when I change to network, both LAN or wifi, the Systems do not answers. If we see to the log window it appears the following message: Need Lan protocol be set to Dr. Command I have verified that: - java is the correct one 64bits last Windows release - ip adress (192.168.1.27 in my case) is correct and anwering ping - COM ports ok (COM4 - Dr. command / COM5 - XpressNet / COM6 - Loconet) - DR5000 protocol Z21 with wifi and XpressNet with LAN Well at this point Im stoped :) Regards from Barcelona Francesc

Good morning all. I’m trying to use SteveT’s RPi image to interface JMRI to my DR5000. Got the RPI setup ok it’s talking to Engine Driver. But the RPi is not taking to the DR5000. I assume I need to change the configuration file to support communication with the DR5000. I have tried using TightVNC to change the configuration file but can’t get it to work. Does anyone have any suggestions. Stay at home stay safe George

I’m new at all this and I’m setting up a small N scale layout. I have a DR 5000 and will be installing a reversing module, DR 5013. In the manual of the 5013 it talks about the rail gaps in the loop but it doesn’t indicate what length the sections need to be. It appears the S0 and S3 are larger than S1 and S2, but still no indication on what length the track section needs to be. I’m thinking maybe 6 inches for S0 and S3 and 3 inches for sections S1 and S2. What are the plus and minus in making these either shorter or longer? Also I have some turnouts within the loop indicated by track in the manual. Does this affect anything? Thanks for any comments you all might have. Ron
