It does appear to be a software version issue. The one I was setting up is v1.28. I tried the other PowerCab I have access to and it is version 1.65. Everything works perfectly with the v1.65.?
I assume updating the software requires sending the unit to NCE?

Scott,
The Power Cab isn't 1.3 - that's the ProCab part of the Power Cab (the Power Cab being a ProCab with a command station and a booster built in). The Power Cab version will be displayed immediately before (or after?) that, and is one of:
- 1,28C
- 1.65
- 1.65B
Now this isn't a problem I've seen mentioned before, let alone in combination with certain Power Cab versions, but: 1.65B is the one to have. I repeat: I don't think it has a bearing here, but: 1.28C is just old, and 1.65 has built-in problems if you were ever to reset it to factory defaults. It'd basically revert to 1.28C capabilities.

I just couldn't see it.
I just set up a Raspberry Pi using Steve Todd's build, connected
the USB interface and tested controlling a locomotive.? It all
works well except with both the JMRI throttle and WiThrottle
when I decrease the speed to 0 the locomotive continues to move
(crawl). The response to speed increase and function control are
immediate - no delay.? The PowerCab itself works as it should -
locomotive stops.
The PowerCab reports V1.3 so it is a little older.? I have
another PowerCab kicking around that I'll try later today but
I'm not sure what version it is.
Could it be the PowerCab version causing the issue or something
else?
Thanks!
