HI All,

I've just upgraded my DR5000 with upgrade module YD9401, so now I have an YD7001.

Is there a way to configure the YD8116 (and other modules) with the YD7001, other than setting the first address with the programming button?
I have installed the Config SW package, but it only shows icons for YD7000, YD7003 and others, but no YD7001.

Will I need to acquire a YD9100 module to benefit from the full-fledge configuration interface for YD8116 (and other similar modules)?

Hi Alain, you may wish to join the merged Digikeijs & YaMoRC forum at?/g/Digikeijs
Secondly, you don’t configure the YD8116 via the YD7001. You ensure power is disconnected/off to the YD8116 and connect it to your computer directly via USB. The USB provides the power. Then. Run the YD8116 program and configure. When done, disconnect USB and turn on the system. Make sure you have downloaded the manual..

I'm already a member. A bit confusing to have two forums as this one still seem active (and not merged or closed)

There is no built-in USB connector on the YD8116. So I guess you assume that I have plugged-in an YD9100 module (small Configurator Stick) in it. This was my question actually.

I'm also a member of both forums since I have both products.

It's more then a bit confusing to have the two forums; it almost seems as though there is a competition between the two.

There are now two different products, one of which will be slowly disappearing as Digikeijs has gone bankrupt.

Unfortunately I think that the solution is obvious. I would hope that the owners could sort this out to have one forum/product.

Sorry Alain, yes there was some confusion between the two forums - the other forum has now incorporated YaMoRC with the existing info around Digikeijs so it isn't lost- it is the primary connection for the time being.? This one may develop in the future, but the other one is quite active and quicker to respond..

I have a YD6016LN's which connect via a YD6901ES-LINK or my remote YD8116s I connect via CAT5 using YD6902ES-EXT. I connect my PC via USB to the YD6016 and I can see the YD8116s in the YD6016 program on the PC.?

Understood. So you have created a ES/IO – LINK via the various devices and then can configure your YD8116 that way. But a stand-alone YD8116 requires a bit more HW to get connected.

Is anyone else out there just as confused as I am?
What I'd really like to know is how all these products connect together because there seems to be lots of YaMoRc products to do lots of things! At least there would be except 'coming soon' is now 6 months old.

Some products have ES/IO links, others have USB and others seem to have two varieties of good old LocoNet.
There are pc based config apps as well as wi-fi configuration methods and modules, and several interfaces to connect them including daisy chaining them with cat5, as well as little boards to use Tortoise switch machines. The variety seems endless.

To make things a little harder we also have Digikeijs compatibility and even ways of converting the DR5000 to a YD7001 which doesn't exist any more because it's been split into 2 products.
I am sure it's all the work of a genius and to those with experience and familiarity with the products it's sure to be straightforward.

When I read the inital post I was keen to see the answer. I saw the YD8116 as a neat way to control many switch machines and signals but just how many ways are there to configure it? I too would have thought the config app would have done the job but there are just too many subtle differences in the numbers. And now after looking at the YD9100 I am probably even more lost at sea,

Has anyone put together an overview of all these products and how they can be used? (I don't mean the YaMoRc FAQs.)

My understanding is that the YD8116 can be used 'as is' for 8 motors (not solenoid) or 8 two aspect signals, with the option to select the start accessory address with the programming button (then all 8 addresses will be consecutive).
Other usages, it needs to be configured via the PC interface, hence you need a USB link to the PC, directly with YD91000, or indirectly as described earlier in this thread.
There is no programming via CVs.

Your understanding is 100% correct Alan (y)
