Good morning,
I believe there may be a possible bug in JMRI / DecoderPro when using a TCS WOW-121 Steam Decoder.
I have the latest test release of JMRI running (5.3.5). I have a Digitrax DCS240+ command station and a SoundTraxx PTB-100 Programming track booster.
I have a dedicated programming track with a Broadway Limited Imports HO Steam Locomotive. This locomotive has a TCS B-MB4 motherboard
and a TCS WOW-121 Steam decoder installed in it. So far it seems to be working well. I am on the programming track / LocoNet / Mode = Direct Byte.
I started up a LocoNet monitor window so I could see what was going on. When I attempted to do a Reset / Factory Reset / USER PRESET 1, the LocoNet
Monitor window indicated that it was doing a "Write Byte in Paged Mode on Service Track". Shouldn't that have been "Write Byte in Direct Mode on Service Track"???
I also noticed that when doing a Reset / Factory Reset / "Entire Decoder (except speed table)" it also did a "Write Byte in Paged Mode on Service Track".
The "reset entire decoder" DOES seem to reset the decoder. The USER PRESET 1 factory reset does NOT appear to be working. However it is writing
the correct values to the correct CVs in the correct order. (CV201=5, CV202=0, CVC203=0, CV204=8). I believe I am doing these things correctly. However
I'm kind of a newbie so I may not be understanding things correctly. Is there a process for reporting a possible JMRI / DecoderPro bug?
Thanks, have a good day!
Tim
