Yamorc and Digitrax


 

Hi All,

I am currently using Diigtrax hardware, but as I get deeper into this area I am considering changing direction - with YaMoRC being a lead contender.?

My question is how much of my current Digitrax equipment I could continue to use via connection to a YD7100+YD7101 Set.

In terms of Digitrax equipment I currently have:
  • DCS210+ command station / booster
  • BXP88 occupancy detectors
  • DS74 stationary decoders

I like the Digitrax transponding feature, but I see the YaMoRC kit supports RailCom and assume that would provide the same or better functionality.

This may be a stupid question - If you can connect the BXP88 units to YaMoRC would the RailCom signal still pass through to the command station?

I am also trialing iTrain on a MacBook Air. I understand YaMoRC is compatible with Mac and I assume it interacts well with iTrain?

Thanks

David


 

Hi David. This is a new forum...not too active yet.? But it will be. Try Digikeijs Forum.?I'm unable to comment on Digitrax. My understanding is that You can use a MAC and a web browser to configure. I use Windows and iTrain works well using YaMoRC.? YaMoRC Documentation is not that good yet but there are some very helpful people on a couple forums and Facebook.

Yep, sorry, it's an ongoing process to refine the manuals. That's one of the most difficult parts of the whole process.

And here now as well :)?

For some Answers:

It is similar, has some other nice features like reading Loco CVs via POM

Yes, the YaMoRC kit is transparent on the LocoNet level. It (re)distributes to all busses, not only all LocoNet types: Physical, USB and LAN but also on other protocols if there is a suited command in the respective potocol.

I am also trialing iTrain on a MacBook Air. I understand YaMoRC is compatible with Mac and I assume it interacts well with iTrain?

Yes, the command stations (including the DR5000 + YD9401 upgrade) are recognized under MAC. With a YD9401 onboard also configuring the CS is possible through a web interface.
A sample/demo you'll find here:?http://www.yamorc.com/text/html/YD9401.html
