does anyone know wether jmri decoder pro can program the tcs m1 decoder. When i try i get problems with reading and writing with no acknowledgement errors
this happens with sound decoders but this is not a sound decoder. Program could not recognize the decoder. Used manual selection.
is there anyone knowledgeable about the decoders electronic design.
can the decoder have a command station power output from the dcs100 rail terminals as a powered on input to the decoder while the decoder¡¯s output wires do not have a motor load connected to them. Will that condition destroy the decoder or is its output protected from this condition happening.
If the output voltage going to the motor from the decoder is 15v dc as soon as the command station rail power is powered on with the engine running full speed and uncontrollable by the throttle has the decoder been destroyed.?
Using the throttle knob which has the decoders address of 10 set on it and changing speed from 0 to higher number causes the power light to shut off on the command station
And the offline red light to come on until the speed is returned to 0. Engine runs away as long as power is on.
any suggestions
Tony
