This sounds like a NCE to Megapoints issue, not really JMRI.?? So, you ought to take it up with those companies, or the support forums for those items.

?

The setup should work,? I¡¯m working on a layout which uses NCE, and has a Megapoints DCC module, connected to Megapoints servo controllers.? So, there is nothing fundamentally incompatible about them.? ?Reading the DCC Module manual, unless you have a Megapoints Multipanel Process, you should have the DCC Module in ¡°Simple¡± mode, not ¡°Gateway¡±? (and if just trying to prove it all works, start with ¡°Simple¡± and move on to adding the Multipanel Processor and ¡°Gateway¡± mode later). ??

Once you have the NCE system sending turnout commands to the Megapoints DCC module, which are then acted upon by the Servo Controllers,? then start to look at JMRI integration.

?

Hi all, brand new to JMRI and DCC so trying to get my head around things. I have an NCE powecab with usb module setup on a test track and have that working correctly, also using Megapoints DCC module and servo controller. I have manage to control my loco from the on screen throttle but cannot seem to find a way to connect to the megapoints boards. I have the dcc module set to gateway mode and the servo controller as slave. Power to the dcc module is taken from the main control board.
?I have setup configured a set of points in layout editor and can control these. I cannot for the life of me get the NCE to talk to megapoints. I am hoping that someonehere? a lot more experienced in the black arts can point me in the correct direction. Many thanks in advance, I don't suppose this will be my last plea for help. cheers
